    Is that one of the ones with the VX4/90 engine in?

    They were truly awful.

    No, no, no, you misunderstand. This is a pipe-dream. I don't want to
    hear any such tales.

    All I want to hear is "Really? My late uncle had one of those, green it
    is. Would you like me to ask if his grieving widow will let it go
    cheap?".

    Preferably by email.

  3. You disappoint me.
    Mine was black, and very handsome it looked. Cost me a tenner it did,
    and that's double what I usually paid for AMC 350s and 500s

    Posting drivel you have heard secondhand seems to be something thats
    very common on this group. When it comes to first hand experience, this
    seems to be pretty rare, and restricted to things like Weggs posts
    about a lashed up old 500 Triumph....... which he obviously doesnt have
    much of a clue about!

    In terms of "classics" none of the bikes "Lozzo" lists at the end of
    his posts are ever likely to be considered as such, except perhaps by
    others with little money to spend on bikes, who could never hope to
    afford a real classic machine.

    On Sun, 12 Feb 2006, Ken typed this :
    (snip)
    I have owned, kept, maintained and ridden a real classic machine, I'll
    have you know. I had to get rid of it because I was fed up with being
    pestered by groupies at every traffic light so I sold it to an ex-
    girlfriend, who had exquisite taste (and who tasted nice too).

    At moments like this it's about time TOG posted a link to the WW2 German
    outfit we saw in France a while ago.

    Yes, ISTR they are.

    It's a truly marvellous tribute to 70s 'bling'.

    It may not be Japanese, German or Italian, but don't let it break your
    non-British record, it's almost entirely French.
