Spanner = wrench
Diff = rear end
Lorrie = truck
Choc ice = ice cream
Sherbert dab = cab
Apples and pears = stairs
Cream crackered = knackered = wasted = drunk (or wrecked)

Okay, so the last few were cockney.



Lorry, or Juggernaut is used but you have missed some of the classics, windscreen, gearbox, estate, mole grips, pinking, wing and my fave of all Shooting brake...

No phone call?

Well anyway, I'm taking the Shooting Brake to a roundabout, but my dampers are wasted. I'll probably need a torch to see the leaks, but I can use a mole wrench to stop them. I lost all my nave plates when my tyres took a dump.

Those things aren't really cars. They're toys. Why the DOT ever permitted their importation is beyond me.

My next door neighbor is an older retired man, he keeps this thing in the garage 364 days a year. He only drives it to get it inspected and registerd each year. He told me he was getting to the point where he just couldnt get in and out easily. He said it just wasnt fun. Now its on Evil Bay.


Check it Out

funny thing, if my 914 wasnt at translog, it would be in the background lol


For most humans over the age of 12, that point was when it was new!

Maybe he'd consider a trade for a Midget?

A pasty is wonderful thing. You can get them in parts of the USA, like Upper Wisconsin & Michigan's UP.

Anorak = geek/nerd or fanboi about something really obscure, like VW-Porsches (hey! aren't they all now VW-Porsches??)

EDIT: Hey Mark - Fortnight is one word =)

Telly, to be accurate, and as an exercise try to find the meanings for


wanker, tosser, throw a wobbly, smeghead (although that will be easy if you watch Red Dwarf), rozzer, and going spare....

I had one of these once. Mine was a '62- possibly the first year for this body style after the bug/frog eye. I think I paid $300 for mine.

Apart from the different look and the opening trunk, it's not much different from the bugeye. That is to say, it is a primitive machine with drum brakes all around (twin leading shoes in front, not effective in reverse), quarter-elliptic sprung live rear axle, lever shocks, and 948cc pushrod cast iron lump making about 45 hp with twin SU carbs. The trans is a 4-speed with non-synchro straight cut first gear that sounds like a siren. The top dismantles and goes in the trunk and it has side curtains instead of windows. Makes a 914 seem like a luxury car. In the immortal words of Monty Python: Run Away!

If they had continued to build the Bugeye's they would now look like this.

neighbor just told me the buyer never paid, never contacted him. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

He has a friend doing all the ebay stuff for him, cause he has no idea, and i asked him if he did the second chance offer to the second and 3rd highest bidders and he said he had no idea.


I wished him luck.

Dosnt anybody want to buy another project?
I might get free beer if I can help sell it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
