Haven't been to Vilamoura for years, mooring the yacht got expensive

I've met Vilamoura loads of times. Wonderful company.

Looked at the other pictures and it just makes me think how dull MGAs and MGBs are, the bloody things are everywhere. Nice to see the strange, the quirky and the rare. I like the Alpine A110.

Saw similarly aged cars in Prague 12 years ago including a British car which chian drive that had been driven from Coventry. Took 3 days apparently.

Hundreds of Carochas (beetles) here, you get one which has been completely restored for about 3 grand, common as muck

I'll fix this one when I've finished work on my bike

Possibly, but more likely to be nearer to half past eight, depending on whether I stop for beer

I'm sorry if you are offended by my bluntness, but on a thread about classic cars in Portugal, a place where there are more classics cars than bicycles I was somewhat surprised that you didn't manage to see any in your three months here and even thought it necessary to point this out to everyone on a thread about the classic cars that are quite clearly here, so I had to conclude that maybe you had your head down and were focused purely on your cycling when you were here and commented as such in a less than subtle way

I forget that not everyone visiting BB is able to cope with the 'banter' and will try and make allowances for this in the future.

I put it through google translate. Problem is, it doesn't translate smileys

Doesn't matter, my head's so far up my own arse I can peer out through my tonsils

Fairly tame for Bottom Bracket I reckon, no need to apologise T47, some people are just sensitive little soles

Thanks Arran.

I didn't say I was sorry for what I said, I said I was sorry that he was offended, there's a difference

Was that a typo (souls) or should be 'soles as in short for arseholes?
I can't decide if you have been clever or not.

I assumed it wouldn't let you write arsehole, that'll teach me

Assumption is the mother of all f*ck ups (I know you can't say that )

To assume makes an ass of u and me.
