    That big mid 90s Rover saloon is a good car.. Rover 75 I think thats only because it got a decent BMW engine in it. :roll: Thing is if MG/Rover had just focused on chucking out the 'Mini' updateing the spec. they could of stayed a flout. Its a british icon, its as british as fish & chips...

    what really pisses you of

    But me down for 'Kids on Scooters' I work at Theatre/Cinema in my area. The '20mph club' sometimes do short cuts on scooters down the front of the building on a pedestrian walk-way, to get to the other side of the main road. Thing is.. last Wednesday night I almost bagged one of the little...

    Yeah its true. I live next to what use to be 'Rover country' Rubery, Rednal etc. In the last 10 years.. They use to employ a bloke on nights' at Longbridge who's job it was to go around after the shift had finished.. to re-check all the screws were fixed properly on the cars, and people in this...

    Fold away mirrors are a fantastic invention. No longer bait to people with **** spacial awareness. :D But theres always the numpty whos parked up a busy road and dosn't look into their wing mirror before getting out of a car. Ive been a witness to one of those. Its all to do with careful...

    I was driving through Harborne B'ham lunchtime yesterday.. My driver side window shattered in mid transit. I thought some little ****er had me with a air rifle. I think it was just a road stone wiped up by a fast lorry at the right angle. Some plain clothes coppers helped me clean up the mess. I...

    oh dear these look good

    This guy is the one reason you can't get any decent Modern stuff in the Redditch and greater Worcestershire area. This 'cock end' has a full-time job of fleecin' any reasonably priced stock out of Supermarkets & Whoolies etc, and sells it for higher on ebay. :evil: He supposidly has a little...

    Just like Christmas

    I do have a theory that the vintage loose AT-AT has always kept its high value (e.g ebay). Because Hasbro have never done a movie accurate version. Chunky side turrets being the main offender. But even the Hasbro's Endor AT-AT from last Christmas wipped up a bit of hysteria. Scalpers were...

    Strange

    This is a real modern Hasbro figure 'Power of The Jedi' range from 2001. Ive got one somewhere.. I'm a sucker for 50s 'Rock n Roll' style Star Wars figures. 8) He just needs to find a Mod, so he can kick his head in. :evil:

    Strange

    Yeah. theres two 'Spacers' in the cantina the 'Rock n Roll' Greaser one is talking to Ben at the bar. But theres another one in the Cantina in a yellow jump suit I think. With his helmet on. Intergalactic motorcycle courier, or maybe he trying to hide a big zit on his chin. Here ya go...

    latest film/ dvd you have seen

    Ben Kenobi/Mace Windu was one of the same charactor i think at one point. Mace is bit more serious strict teacher like charactor. By the 70s/80s even the mid 60s Toshiro Mifune with age was playing those reserved mentor parts. There was a scene in Revenge of the Sith where Yoda rubs his head in...

    do you believe this is real

    Looks like hes taken it on a poor quality phone camera. Or no Macro lens option for close ups. Could be sound.. Might of put it into some photo editor to turn the brightness up, and its changed the colour slightly. Not a big SW seller. Sold Something SW related last Sept 06 from the feedback...

    latest film/ dvd you have seen

    Ive always found Hidden Fortress to be closer to Phantom Menace outside the droids of Star Wars. A queen/princess disguised on the run from a war. Qui-Gon even looks like Mifune's Samurai General charactor. George Lucas wanted Toshiro Mifune as a early suggestion while working on the old Ben...
