--- Quote from: Ned Ludd on June 16, 2011, 05:27:14 PM ---Hi Rickard, Did you really think I was referring to the good old USofA, silly boy! I was of course talking of the new "workshop of the world", the land of Wun-Tun soup. Ned --- End quote --- Hi Ned, Sorry I have to express my frustration as a Hot Rodder, at owning Stylish good looking English cars and motorcycles that are so poorly engineered but truly Beautiful to behold! I truly believe the last British engineer died in WWII and it's just draftsmen cutting and pasting designs together since. Seriously I'd kill for an old 50's - 60 mini or one of them 3 wheel cars like in Only Horses and Fools, but I fear Lucas Prince of insufficant light (inventer of the 3 postion switch off, smoke, AND FIRE) |

Don't tell me that Harley's are designed by an Engineer?? This is really a whole topic in its own right, so sorry for going OT cheers bp Adelaide, Australia |

Harleys are not designed they are made from grafting patents from John Deere and the Amoco Cadiz together. This enables them to look like a tractor, sound like a tractor, handle like a tractor but leak oil like a super tanker. John S. |

In 1990 I bought and started restoring a 1970 Jaguar XJ-6. My nickname for it was the Exxon Valdez :lol: |
| Ned Ludd:
If we are on the subject of XJ6s, mine could obliterate all three lanes of the M1 motorway with a smoke screen that would do a WW2 battleship proud. Still miss it, but there is no way I could afford the fuel (or oil) bill now. When I ran it fuel was 80 pence a gallon, oh happy days! And while on the subject of smoke and Joe Lucas have you guys seen; http://www3.telus.net/bc_triumph_registry/smoke.htm Ned |
