I got a complete mirror arm from Emmots of Calne for £35.

Shep- perhaps you should mention that your stupid price is stupidly low, not stupidly high :)
Oh yea lol
Glad to see you over here at last, Joe.
At the moment, I have a buyer for my 38 (when he gets round to getting in touch) as far as I know but ................ if he doesn't come across, then you won't go far wrong buying mine. Gilbertd has seen mine and worked on it and there are just three jobs need doing on it, all of which can be done in half a day.
Due to personal circumstances, and the fact I want the Beastie to go to a 'proper' home, not some muppet buying it after I've PX'd, I'm asking a stupid price for it.
Mine is a 4.6 V8 :o)
I don't know if I'll still have my 38 when the camp comes round. Mind you, mine only needs a couple of rocker cover gaskets. I may have a 320 or a 322 by then. But I may still come down for the crack. As I am not up to doing much, I could sit there and sniff the lovely glue that comes with the headlinings all day :o))))
What the fukking hell is that?
So did I .......... we'll see if he turns up.
OB, did you say anything to Joe the fish?
Anyone seen the latest post by the 'BECM Doctor' on the other side?
That's the best option ............. if anyone can get it going without emptying your wallet, he can.

Read all this about lpg injectors, I now know one thing for sure,, I'll leave it to the experts,,
I get glazed eyes just trying to understand a bit of it, Chris lol
Trying to convince the missus this will look good sat on the drive lol
She told me NO :o((((
Fukk me ................ I think mine might be sold and it seems the guy IS getting a bargain. At least I know it will be looked after though which is all I want.
The thing is, I just know in 6 months time, I'm going to regret selling the Wee Beastie and be cursing the pile of electronic shit I will have bought.
As a couple of you know, I fully intended to change the Wee Beastie in the very near future. I need to spend some money and I decided this was the best way to do it. Then I had a thought ........... why spend 12-15k on a newer RR when I could spend a third of that and do this one up to the nines. Engine recon and get the engine bay all cleaned up, new SS exhaust etc. The rest of the car is immaculate and has NO rust.
So today, I took it for its MOT. Was chatting to the tester and he informed me I would be mad to sell it. GRRRRRRRRR. He reckons the engine is as sweet as a nut and doesn't need reconning!! Needless to say, it passed with flying colours and NO advisories. As far as I can see, it needs 3 jobs doing in the near future. A new alternator as the bearings are just starting to sing, new rocker cover gaskets as they are weeping a tad and a new compressor (it is still running with Richards little jump wire on it).
I am at a loss what to do now ..... do I sell or do I change. If I do change, I shall be offering it on here first as this beastie really needs to stay in the '38 family' and not go to px. I have offered it to a couple of people .......... one said no cos it didn't have LPG. If I do sell, this is going to be the bargain of the decade as I am going to ask a pittance for it.
Even if you don't want it, do you know someone that wants a damned good 38 for peanuts?
Hmmmmm, the man from Tennessee has replied. Now how do I answer without getting banned lol
Am just sat reading the toolless thread. This is funny and I know nothing about LPG
I saw that and laughed my head off ...... he thinks it looks good!!! What a fukking mess he has made of it all.
I couldn't resist a little comment ................ let's see how that goes down.
I wonder if wearing a kilt will be a requirement to join?

rrpub is owned by a rabidly lefty Scottish Nationalist anti-capitalist and is most definitely Not For Sale. VerticalScope can fuck off.
Blimey, I'm surprised we don't have to show our passports to come onboard lol
Now would you have received service like that over on the other side? No, they'd have told you to go and look in Rave lol

Considering you own the ONLY Linley in the US and an immaculate H&H, you are the sort of person that any RR forum would really want as a member.
My mistake .......... I called it a H&H but it was a Linley you did an absolutely amazing restoration on. You should be loudly lauded over there for that restoration!!!
