My name’s Martin and I’ve got too many scabby old cars.

It is. It’s the normal tailgate for a pre-facelift mk1 — they got increasingly fat from the mk1 facelift onwards.

That’s an excellent article, thanks.

Can I have another go?

Is it the Group A 240 Turbo Flying Brick?

I’m saying 262C, though that may just be wishful thinking.

Stephen is leaning heavily on the word ‘think’ there.

I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

Were they by any chance the same channels that said the DVLA rules around restorations and EV conversions were aN aTtAcK oN oUr WaY oF LiFe?

Thought they might be.

Hey Chloe, hope you’re ok. Sending positive vibes.

Wow, that’s…well, bizarre. I like sheep as much as the next person (no Wales jokes please) but that’s an unusual brand positioning for a car.

Also, I wouldn’t leave one out in a field for long, they’re prone to foot rot.

Thanks Rob. I’ve de-listed this video now because it had so few views, but this link should still work.

I don’t allow gambling ads on my videos. YouTube lets you opt out at channel level.

(Saying that, I’m not above raffling off a car if I thought I’d sell enough tickets.)

Congratulations 👍

Happy Orbital Railgun sounds like a band that John Peel would have championed.

(I have nothing else to contribute to this discussion.)

I should really have posted an update to this — after a very unpromising start, YouTube eventually figured out who to show it to and the video did well.

It doesn’t usually give second chances like that but I’ll certainly take it.
