  1. Greens take the low hanging fruit and eventually self destruct from within like UAP and Pauleen's mob and the DEMS if we go back far enough. The Unholy Alliance of NP and libs is structurally and ideologically debateable also. Genuine Independents have done a good job, by and large.. I just can't bring myself to vote greens. You really cannot predict them,  Nev

  2. They will welcome you with Roses and it will be over in three days. Let that be his epitaph.. It's NOT a war. I'm just killing them and smashing everything up because they aren't NICE to me, and it makes me feel good inside.  Nev

  3. They were a massive improvement on the previous model Prefect. I think  that one still had the sidevalve engine. The 105E Anglia was the beginning of the "faster" OHV Fords.. The 1500 cc 5 bearing KENT block being the basis of many Cortina'as especially with the Lotus head fitted and later Ford's BDA 2 cam motor. Cosworth got involved back then with head development and gasflow.  Nev

  4. "Collectable" and Nice to drive are different things often, Lotus have made some good cars but soft tops are weak structurally and pretty dangerous in a prang and it would be difficult for them to meet modern safety standards if not impossible.. IF they don't provide a better driving experience in basic handling and braking  and performance it's wind in your hair and dust off the floor and not much more. . People are likely to scratch them down the sides out of spite too unfortunately. On the road is not a safe place for a rare car., Unfortunately. Nev

  5. Easy to get at the engine with a bug eye. The entire front tilts forward. They are cute but rev their guts out at fairly normal speeds. Steel disc wheels with AH Hub caps are standard. Like the red one above, but painted silver.. Nev

  6. Fired properly they make little smoke. Most of what comes out of the funnel is steam which  is used to draw air through the fire grate, the fire and the boiler tubes.   Nev
