What were they thinking?
« on: August 04, 2013, 03:45:16 PM »

Adds a bit of style to an otherwise plain interior?

Failing that, if your oout of fire wood and need to make a signal, just rip the dash out. JOb done.
Why do people ask "What the hell were you thinking?"

Never seen a left hook Humber before....  ???

At first i thought the negitive was back to front, but the dials look correct. Did they export Humbers, because that might be the only one.  :cup:
