Purists turn away now...
Looking to convert your Dolomite?
Can't source a Sprint engine, axle or propshaft?
Don't want to copy the MX5, CA18, V8 crowd?
The perfect sustainable solution:

I have a few that don't need that much modification to have such a conversion.

I would love that as the old bill could not take it, fine it, as a car is not a car without an engine.

Re: Purists turn away now...
Be a bit annoying if the dicks were in my way on a country road. Theyre bad enough on bycycles round our way, ignorant ba***rds. Rant over carry on

Re: Purists turn away now...
Cyclists don't bother me much, round our way it is scatty girls, barely in control of very large horses that make life miserable!
Horses should be under a bonnet, or in a field, not 2 abreast in a country lane!

Re: Purists turn away now...
I take it her expensive pastime involves something with 4 hooves, big teeth and no road sense? She is fine with hers as they are 400 miles away from me!magoo128 wrote:By under a bonnet i do hope you mean in the power senseCarledo wrote:Cyclists don't bother me much, round our way it is scatty girls, barely in control of very large horses that make life miserable!

Re: Purists turn away now...
Today I saw 2 more scatty girls on massive horses, this time, both of them were on their mobile phones! I wonder what the legality of this is?

Maybe I should've done this to the Corsa that I'm working on. It would've saved the young female owner a fortune in road tax, insurance, petrol and the cost of getting her licence.
