Jeez!

I remember when JAP's were so uncool that they would be weighed in for scrap rather than re sold second hand.

I hope no one minds, but I have changed the subject of this thread to more accurately reflect its content.

You should see the thread I'm following on a football forum re the potential takeover of my team, Leeds United, over 2200 pages and 3 million views!

I had a set of 5 JAP wheels which melted when my psychopathic next door neighbour burned down my elderly parents garden shed.

They were like new, complete with their original gold chromate finish.

That is more than I paid for my 66 Morris Cooper 10 years ago (which had been restored).

I feel sick.

No, I haven't gone all PC, but the new title does ensure that anyone who finds it will know what its about.

I'm not surprised the Leeds Thread has so many postings Steve. People just love staring at a good car crash :lol:

So who's this Arab then?

He's part of the ruling Bahrain family I believe, though I don't think he's mega wealthy. We'll probably get the only sheikh that's skint.

I bought a NOS chrome gearstick from Ebay, it is a bit longer than a mini one but otherwise the same. Does anyone know what it might be for? I was thinking maybe an ADO16 of some variety but I don't really know. I only bought it because it seemed too cheap not to!

The chrome ones where fitted to the Austin. Morris 1300GT's the MG1300, Vanden Plas and the Riley Kestrel 1300's.
It will fit the mini remote and imho gives the gear stick a better position.
