    I was born in Abingdon. Perhaps unsurprisingly there was a plague of MGs in the area. Even back in the 1970s I thought that the MG Midgets of that time had matt black sills so that when the rust holes appeared you could do a passable bodge job with filler and a spray can.

    I remember the smell of the leather interior. Of course it rusted. They all did.

    That is the restyled version. My father's was a 1969 original body style. Both versions were styled by Michellotti.

    It was the Triumph 2.5 that had fuel injection. Specifically Lucas mechanical fuel injection. My father had one and I travelled much of Europe in it.

    Do you really think consumer goods is quality of life?

    I was coding in Burroughs Algol for a living back in the early 1980s. Thailand in 2023: Hey, there is this new thing called coding. Let's pile on.

    I think it depends on the car. It would be a crime to convert an E type to EV. But a minor classic which is not worth much and the engine cannot be kept working due to lack of parts? I say have at it.

    Passport Office staff were offered a 2% pay increase by the government who refuse to negotiate. Given inflation is around 10% in the UK I can understand why they are striking.

    8mm thread. Honda make a song and dance in the service manual about how they specified and had these plugs manufactured so they could fit larger valves.

    I probably have not ridden it for five years or more. I haven't needed anything other than service items which I got from a Honda dealer in the UK or a dealer in Hong Kong when I worked there. I do remember that the unusual spark plugs foul fairly easily and cannot be brought back to life. A pain when they are about a hundred quid a set.

    I think it is a Wave AT. A Wave but with some kind of CVT transmission. It didn't sell well.

    Carb looks fairly chonky.

    Photo taken today. Lower bodywork is off the bike for some reason or other. Exhaust is original. All bodywork is original. 20,000 km which may well be genuine.

    Is he incapable of driving? Does he believe lottery numbers can be predicted by worshipping a rock? What is his amulet count?

    It looks kind of dumb with that huge fake grille on the front.

    I think they make an SUV. Perfect for the multi-storey car parks.

    This thread is amusing. OP asked for a recommendation for a small hatchback or car. That seems to have been interpreted pretty broadly. How about a long wheelbase Maybach or perhaps a Humvee?

    He is probably referring to the Yaris when he says a little bit sluggish. The Yaris is about the same power as the Swift but 185 kg heavier. Swift GL is 875 kg and Yaris is 1060 kg. I only have the weight for 2022 Yaris but the new 2023 Yaris is just a minor facelift.

    That looks fine. But I wouldn't pay extra for it because I am a tightwad.

    I remember some years back somebody in Bangkok tried to cut open a second world war 500 pound bomb with an oxy-acetylene torch. It didn't end well.

    To my eyes the Swift, particularly the latest model, is a very good looking car. But with this body kit it's an automotive crime scene. I accept, of course, that people's tastes vary.

    Yes. Apparently a JATCO CVT that doesn't break. Rare indeed.
