The *Official* Old School Spotters Thread

^^ BBS?

Not sure where that mentality gets them, but unless I wasn't taking care of it it was going to be sold to someone who would have cared for it.

I rather it stands a chance to live on instead of just suffering a quiet and lonely death.
Why would I even bother to keep the old mans promise if it's not going to be cared for.

At the end of the day/year it's still going to end up getting discarded or just totally rotting away so just part with it while you can still get some cash for it.
Maybe even use the cash for something worthwhile that you can actually enjoy and thank the old man for it.

well that's what grampa wanted.....he didn't want anyone else to have his baby. He told them it's his baby and leave it there
the car's beyond redemption now, but it was in nice condition when I first saw it....looks like a poor family too. I would have happily given them 5k for it, even tho it was prolly worth maybe 2k

looks like this

MG, Rawle (Eggy's son) had one which had a pretty quick datsun 1400 engine in, I heard he passed on and I saw the car recently, the new owner did a very good job of restoring it, the body looks straight and he even airconditioned it.

[Dragist]

^^^ I remember that car Eggy's had that running good used to see it in Belmont , haven't seen it in Years .

[MG Man]

No original lazy engine, no care

[Ted_v2]

Agreed with moti.
When my grandfather pass away that's what I intend to do with his 120y. Property restore it with tasteful mods and use it for a weekend runner.
Can't stand to see it rotting down knowing it was the Oldman baby

Wish we still had ours

My family knows. If I drop down dead, put the car in a box and ship it back to the UK. If that can't be done for whatever reason, leave it where it is and let it die. No offense, but I'd rather burn it down than watch it end up in trini hands

I my case, I already laid down the rules.
When I die, my son will be the owner of my cars and therefore he will make his choice.
Hopefully once I raised him right he will keep it and install a rotary engine in it (for a 3yr old he's a really strong rotary fan).

[MG Man]

You guys can fight over the two MGs. The HSR either goin to back the motherland or left to die

Dream on motilover

[moti]

Hey hey hey, I would never put a rotary engine in the HSR.
That thing will get a 120Y engine.

The MG's will be used to pull the trailer for the badass 120Y powered HSR.
