There was a few ‘life rafts’ built just before they were going to shut down Oppositelock.

Hi mate. I hope your well. Not seen you around on new OPPO. 

To be fair, the top one of the two plans is the wheelchair access trailer and so open plan, while the second one of the two has a sliding door immediately next to the toilet with a concertina door between the bedroom and bathroom.

Not a hell of a change, just a nice slight refresh.

Of all the Aston Martin-esque vehicles, that Vantare GT is the ugliest.

Ye’, but I was just reminded Mitsubishi is pulling out the U.K..

I forgot about that even though I’ve read it so many times over the last year or so.

The L200 pickup is Ford Ranger size and been the most common of the Mitsubishis you’ll see on U.K. roads.

I didn’t say they wouldn’t be legal.

I have no idea why they are still in the U.K.

Bond was bought out by Reliant and commissioned for the Reliant Rogue (though Reliant hadn’t put it into production at that point and never would) to be altered into what became the Bug and badged as a Bond. Initially built at the Bond factory, it was later built at the Reliant factory.

It certainly does, but even some of the Ford Escort (3 door) estates (shooting brakes) and Vauxhall Viva estates (again 3 door) had a certain appeal about them. 

Worth looking that the driver shortage isn’t new and has been since before the pandemic

It’s in part to many things but Brexit only plays a part.

One Scimitar was a SE5 GTE which had a Rover 3.5 V8.

Ar, yes. The old days here in the U.K., piss off some people, ‘joy riding’, etc... get a baseball bat to the knee, shatter the patella, lesson learned.

Ye', that makes it extra odd in that not all don't have amber, maybe it's where they are made or numbers made but I can't see the likes of VW, BMW, etc... being happy to spend extra money having yet another light cluster to make just for North America. 

They have to make two sets because the U.S. says they do. The U.S. wants rear side/brake lights to act as indicators so 'they stand out more rather than amber flashing while the driver still has their foot down on the footbrake'. 

I like the TR Supercars TVR engineers take on the Speed 12 design over the one of the production Speed 12 designs.

The Vulcan wasn’t a TVR product as such. Str8six, a TVR specialist garage bought a new un-used body and worked their magic on it. They approached Smolenski who owned the name of the defunct to call and badge it as a TVR and he gave his consent.
