This is the bit that worries me - something about golden rivets.

hang in there mate, i think i will try a rumbo in the coffee to, but when i get to coffee i normally add drambuie.
get into it again as we need to see it on the road.
ah' i've never seen a a newborn calf, certainly sounds cute,
isn't god clever, to get all these animals making such cute looking baby things.
he obviously didn't have anything to do with bedford trucks

And just wot, pray tell, have you got agin Bedford trucks, Harry?

They're slow, the brakes are questionable, they'll break an axle, at mere the suggestion of sand.
And for some odd reason, I have never owned any other truck but Bedford. From my first old "48" K model, up to the J tipper. Those slow old girls carried ridiculous loads, as a woodgetter's truck.
I even actually miss the old girl. Big swooping mudguards, painted black, against the British Racing Green body and white dropside tray, the huge big lights, on the braces from the radiator surround. 48 MPH, flat out ,with a Besser block on the throttle.
The woodyard bloke scratching his head at 4 1\2 ton on a 3 tonner.

Hell, I am tired.
I just had to check to see if I had just hijacked someone else's thread.


Shorty.

well i had a 34 ws and a 34 blc delivery van.
the van was a fun bit of kit, big six, wire wheels,go any where, beat all the vauxhall club cars hands down. i also had a set of sunrasias, ten inch steels which i got with it when i saved it from being a hot rod, boy did they make it look cool, but every time i put them on and bought fuel i got the crap shot at me for butchering a classic - only wheels mate, she's stock otherwise.
the ws was a market gardeners truck, 30 hwt. clever pomms, guarenteed a 50% overload, so they modified the rear diff bearings to self aligning to stop them chopping out with the overload flexing the diff.
even god loves bedfords.

bedford busses are another thing altogether.
so shorty have we [me-i] hijacked your thread completly, or do you have a secret love for vauxhalls also?

you blokes are sick.
Land Rovers, now Bedford's and Vauxhall's ??

Next we'll have Ron in here eulogising his old Hilman's, then someone will probably start on Standard's.

No hope, the lot of yer.

And what problem do you have with Standard's. I learnt to drive in a Vanguard

I find going through photos of other peoples restorations is a good way to regain enthusiasm, REMLR is great for that
