Sorry I didn't answer straight away Rob, I was at work last night. The Sennie is coming on well now mate. Back brakes were a pig, everything was seized, but it's come round to my way of thinking now. Getting a set of tyres for it on Monday, then rear number plate and as far as I know, it's done. ------------- If you've got it, a lorry brought it. |

You're welcome any time. I'll have the kettle on. Or when it's done, maybe I could have a run up to Robsville. One car I do enjoy driving is the Senator. I've been offered another one-a 24valve- up near you Rob. It needs a bit of work, but the arches are ok. I have some photos here. Before the mods jump on me for talking about 'foreign' cars, my daily driver is still a BMW. ------------- If you've got it, a lorry brought it. |

I had a Manta in my youth and always thought I'd graduate to a Monza till I discovered BMW. I still see the occasional Monza (manual box, of course) on autotrader and think Hmmm... -------------

I looked at a Manta, but went for a Capri instead! (3.0S though) but the Manta looked a peach, it was an exclusive model in blue.
My dad had the earlier Senator and the Monza, the Monza felt heavy though, but also the feeling it was carved from a solid rock face! ------------- we're the Sweeney son, and we ain't had our dinner..... |

Hello AG, what will you do with the red e23 should you win it? Is it a fixer-upper or a donor? Nice car, I like that green 733i as well. If I didn't have such a Senator fetish......... How's the engine rebuils going Rob? Bet it ain't cheap, knowing Vauxhall prices. ------------- If you've got it, a lorry brought it. |
