I love cars and have collected a collection of photographs. I recently took up a new hobby. Now I make projects using photos and pictures. And thanks to pallet racking images I ended up with a very interesting project. I think that I will soon make a presentation on another interesting topic. Read more

Definitely a classic in my eyes, I think that the sporting models and the 4x4s will be the ones that people will seek out as is the case with the XRs and Cosworths are now, but I think the lower spec models will end up being forgotten and un loved and will disappear.
But as whats happening with Sierra's , Cortina's Fiestas and Escorts/Orions the surviving bread and butter models in original spec will start to become sought after, amongst colectors Read more

History has proven that giving the Range Rover priority over the P8 & P9 wasn't such a bad call...
The P9 does look exciting though, a shape that would be fabulous today. Pity that was dropped.... Read more
Mk 2 Golf was easily the best!
What a let down the mk 3 was after the brilliance of the first two!!
I'd give the Corolla silver medal,then the Pug 205 a bronze Read more
Some interesting left field choices, but no way can a Volvo 360 be hot, I bet they nearly all had tow bars, and dull seat and steering wheel covers. Awful cars!
The Honda Civic GT, Suzuki Swift GTi, would have been good Japanese choices, and European choices missed are the Fiat Uno turbo i.e, and the Nova GTE.
I drove this car!
It was based for some of it's life at Gomersal (near Dewsbury) Police Post and was used for both Motorway and also general Road Traffic Patrol.
The SD1 was a big lump of a car and hard work to drive, not least because the Force disabled the power steering so we could 'feel' the car through corners at speed. A good idea but then when it came to parallel parking in a tight space your arms and shoulders got a serious workout!
You're right the lighting gantry as you call it (They were referred to a 'Federals' because that was the name of the manufacturer) did impact on the top speed and acceleration but also the drivetrain did not have the same 'guts' as the earlier models which were fitted with just a 'nipple' blue light and that coupled with a gutsy engine/gearbox meant that the earlier models were a lot quicker.
I once chased a motorcycle down Ainley Bank (near Huddersfield) on the M62. I knew there was another of our cars on the observation ramp halfway down, doing Vascar, and called forward to them to let them know I was coming. As I went past they called and said the motorcycle was too quick for them but they Vascar'ed me and I was doing 137.5 MPH! I got the motorcycle in the end but at some cost as the Gearbox on the SD1 blew up in 5th gear! The auxillary shaft had just twisted and sheared with all the torque that was going on in there.

It's a shame, as a kid I too used to love plate spotting but now, as much as I still love cars, it's just not the same seeing a NU13... it just doesn't seem to stand out as much any more. Read more
I used to love Aug 1st as we were always on holiday usually down in the south coast, and the excitement of seeing a brand new car was the highlight of the Holiday. Sadly missed now
