I nearly bought a bright orange mustang before I got the Royales, was a late model though, aboutr x reg, 3.3 engine but not that quick.

Had a drool over the Shelby mustangs at NEC classics show, Wendy kept losing me and camera! Big display, original right up to latest! Prefer the older ones though. Not sure who's signed in, this Iis Ian(rubberknees) if wendy didn't sign out,lol

There was a bright orange Mussy over here on Tuesday morning, sounded gorgeous, paintwork was flat though, which was a shame.

Quite like Yanktanks, the older 60's, 70's and early 80's models mainly.  The engines are totally bombproof and not an ECU in sight, dead easy to maintain and modify too.

Thats better, I'm me this time! Have to change my password, fogot it a couple of weeks back, now it's something like r2d2whome6789, had to write it down, no way I can remember it,lol.

I like yank tanks from same eras, my own fleet late 70's early 80's as can't cope with lever action dampers, kingpin greasing etc.

Had a race through Lewisham in Lodon in 70's, my Honda 750-4 against a TransAm, he won as I though 100mph+ even at 6am through a biult up area was suicidal!

Mine was an old K series, K-2 I think, put a four into 2 reverse cone mega system on it and altered jetting. Went quite well. Later had a 400-4, great fun, could get both feet on floor at same time on that!

Friend had, has, Norton Commando, rebuilt a few years back , had pistons and rings made to put compression back to "as new", even frightened him when he got it back. Swears he's going to get Wendy pillion on it one day, not sure Devon's ready for the screams

Ok, pics come out now, top one on my pit on Ascension Island in portacabin in 1980's, lower one MANY years ago at my parents caravan in Selsey on south coast.

No, I haven't got radiation burns in top one, it was over 100 all day every day for 6 month detachment, working dress was shorts and flipflops!

Thank you Wendy, sure Emma can find some of you for the site!

Tried in catalogue, seller says they are either 14 or 15 inch, right ones for one set either way,lol, ggot 4 of them, last seen at 23

Thinking about time that top pic taken, had permanent effect on my stomach,lol. Got to LIKE compo rations, especially the suasages and oatmeal biscuits. Mind you, at time all there was to do was work, work out in contractors aircon gym, or drink and be merry. Tried doing some cross country style running but heat and gradients almost killed me.

Guess which solution I chose

mmm, thought all were same size, maybe not.
Anyway, when I went to ECP, they only had one size set in, guess what, yep wrong ones..

Good luck, they will look nice when fitted, I would have loved some when I had her.

Oh I was lurking around somewhere, just not on here. Hasn't been unusual for me to be up as our lass is getting up for work (don't need to fight for the covers.. )

it was nearly 6 the other morning before I turned in, nust be the coffee, 5 pints does tend to make you to the loo quite a lot tho' ...

Early night for me tonight, 2am maybe

Lol, I'd heard that one, I can sleepwalk to toilet and back. Do you make the coffee in a job lot in the kettle then? Got a filter coffee maker but that only holds about 6 cups (or 2-3 of my mugs)

Could be easier to boil it up in kettle! Even better if you have one of those small urn things.... with an optic next to it.....lol
