Tony,

That post is a bit Rank.

For the women with big hands.

Nah, matey. Don't go that route....

Last time I went in one of those was about fifteen years ago on a Friday, having flown back from Oslo, visiting my grandmother.

I arrived at Shrub Hill at about 8 pm on the Paddington to Hereford Express. with a fiver in my pocket! I was looking at a four mile walk back home with two heavy cases - SAS do not charge for more than 20 kg.for the hold bad, so I was well laden!

I jumped into a Taxi and the driver enquired if it had been a good week at work [presumably he meant in London, as I looked very smart], to which I replied that was back from a family visit in Norway - proffered my fiver, and asked him to take as far as the money would go! Saved me three miles' walk, so a bargain!

Fortunately I had a nice Bordeaux in the house when I got in!

Work on Monday!

Dear George,

Being fond of Volvo cars are you sure it wasn't one of these?

Tony

I thought those were Front Wheel Drive!

I like cars with a proper driving back axle!

ATB from George

PS: Tony, the Carlton will slip the back wheel easily on the leaves at the moment! The old 240 was even capable of being a bit slidy at the rear in the wet at this time of year!

An Amazon was even better at this, but the chance to fit chains to the wheels meant they went well in the snow!

Ah, George. You put a smile on my face!

I'll stick to my old 280 E class for the moment. Boring, I know , but then again I do not know many people as adventurous as you on any Naim Forum.

Respect.

Dear Tony,

It is crucial for this forum that there is at least one fly in ointment, who is no Troll!

ATB from George 

Ahhhh, and humble as well!

Tony

Which thread am I in now ?

............an Amazon thread about cars run by a Norwegian or

............a "goodby thread" run by a Swede who is divorced from Naim equipent but can't bring herself to divorce the forum.

Almost like old times.

Cheers

Don 

Dear Don,

As it is goodbye thread perhaps it has become a "Portmanteau" one with suitable travelling "drift" on the journey away!

ATB from George

Ha ha, nice reminder, it really started out IMHO as an "I'm here and want to be noticed" thread.

How's the thinking re an Amazon going ? I know its early days, but Richard indicated that Amazons are pretty pricey due to their emerging Classic status. Have you prodded the market to see whether its a realistic future project ?

Cheers

Dear Don,

I had a bit of a probe. Late ones seem to start about £2K, which I would think was okay subject to a look at it on the ramp! And a proper test drive, not just round the houses lets say, but onto a decent main road for half an hour.

Minters make silly money though!

It is probably a none starter, but the nicest thing about acquisition is the anticipation! So plenty of a dreaming may bring more pleasure than actually getting!

If I saw a good one at the right price, then I'd go for it, subject to inspection and test drive. I prefer the two door version, as it stronger and lighter. In the UK this is the least desirable variant! 

ATB from George

Good luck and I hope you keep us up to date with your dreaming anticipation and/or any potential aquisition

Cheers

Don

Dear Don,

If it happens then I guess that the Carlton will be seen on a roof rack on the top of the Amazon!

So any developments will appear there on the Carlton thread as I expect this one will expire first!!
