One for Bush Tucker Man

[Jake]

Spotted this gem on the M25 on Friday.
Sorry about the mirror pic!
I could'nt think of a better way of getting the front!
 :D

[Bush Tucker Man]

AAAARGHHHH!!!!!
A 68/69 in a Shelby style paintwork.
Could be a GT350/390 (Bullitt) or possibly a 500 (as per Eleanor)

Well spotted! :D

It's now in my imaginary garage

Did you hear it first by anychance??

[Jake]

Did you hear it first by anychance??

How did you guess  
It came thundering past then got caught in traffic, so i snapped it!
Very very nice car.
 =P~

Sound nice don't they? Big, or small, blocks :lol:
Here's the link for the replicas

In the States, Hertz had a fleet of Brown (& gold striped) GT350's as hire cars*
Needless to say they were soon decimated. Accidents. Weekend drag-racing.
Parts swapping :shock: , yes!, they went back to Hertz with 260ci engines (apparantly they never checked them over on return)

* Some other colurs were included, like that black one

[Jake]

Parts swapping happens here too
I worked for TLS rental for 3 years and we used to have transits coming back with bald tyres and rusty wheels. Thing is, they where brand new motors.
Same with the cars.
I remember a Mondeo Ghia came back once with an LX interia.
All the leather, gone!
Checky b*ggers!

Not quite the same sorts of cars, but the same idea!

Did you get the items back? surely it's got to be returned in an appropriate condition>

Leather in a Mondeo Ghia, ours hasn't

[Jake]

Ghia X
The X makes all the difference!

No, items never returned.
Some of the checkers would miss 'small' details like a different interia!
 :roll:

The X makes all the difference!

Aaha, that was on her 'allowed list' she ought to have had that, chocolatey finger-prints wipe off easier.

She's already got her next car figured out, if (no, that's when ) she gets promoted to Project Director for the Leceister build
Jaguar S-Type (twin-turbo diesel) all being well.



Not too sure when though :?

Failing that  & she stays with the 'Mondeo class' & the rules change regarding allowed marques, the new Octavia vRS (no diesel only policy)

[Jake]

All good cars
Tis nice the Jag.
A lot of Ford bits but they drive lovely.
 :D

[Bush Tucker Man]

I reckon the Octavia vRS on a set of steel-wheels, a non-descript colour, debadged with a trilby on the parcel-shelf.
 :lol:  :lol:

A real 'Q-car' :lol:

West Yorkshire Police operate a few of the mark 1 vRS's & are apparantly very happy with them

as you're talking about part swaps,would you have a new home lined up for that twin turbo v6 diesel or arn't we ment to know?

[Bush Tucker Man]

She hasn't got the promotion yet, it's just been whispered 'off the record' that it may probably come her way.

The S-Type is what she'll ask for, (if a new car is part of the deal.

After all they're expecting her to head the Leceister project & 'keep tabs' on Market Harbrough as well.


And, yes, I get what you're digging at.  :D
A Tdi S-Type might look odd against a V6 twin-turbo Discovery.
The Tdi is too tall anyway
