    Why on earth do you wish to to fit Toyota lights to the back of your
    Peugeot?
    Is there a problem with your back lights? Or is it some strange fashion
    statement?
    A bit like writing in all lower case without any punctuation?
    If they put me in mind of anything, it's those cheap PIFCO torches you
    always got at xmas.
    OK you're right, I'm just too old for this scene.. bring back the three gear
    column change and bench front seats.

  3. Now your talking. Bench seat and column change like my old 1964 Vauxhall
    Victor FB, talk about armchair driving. Prior to that of course, we had
    trafficators that popped out to tell people when you intended to turn, not
    these modern flashy things. And I also used to like having the little
    square threaded peg on the steering box that allowed you to take up the
    slack when it started to wear. Nearly forgot, bet none of these youngsters
    would know a grease nipple (or gun) if they saw it. ;o)

  4. And if you told that to the youngsters of today they would never believe you.
    Bring back starting handles thats what I say.

  5. They were the easiest way to get the car up on the ramps when you couldn't
    use the engine - third gear and wind it up. Can't do that nowadays.

  7. That's a workaround but the starting handle was easier and the pulley bolt
    on some cars is highly inaccessible.

    There is an old story about a Rolls Royce salesman years ago who was showing
    the latest model to a prospective customer. The customer saw the starting
    handle in clips under the boot lid and asked what it was. The salesman
    said, "Ah, that sir is the starting handle. It is intended to allow the
    engine to be started when the battery fails". "Really", said the customer,
    "I thought you told me that Rolls Royce cars never break down?". "Well
    sir", replies the salesman smoothly, "let me put it this way. You have two
    nipples on your chest. They are there in case you should ever give birth
    to a baby. You are more likely to make use of those than the starting
    handle on a Rolls Royce".
