    That's an officially cool car! :thumbsup: But is it really from 1971? According to the german wikipedia the company was founded in 1979. I can't find any english wikipedia entry.

    Thanks. She started life in 1971 as an MGB and was rebuilt [in 1981 IIRC] as a NG TA, but kept her original paperwork hence she's a '71. We bought her in 2006 and love her to bits, now we're waiting for some good weather again so we can take her out.

      iirc age is derived from the donor car, so even if the kit was built this year the new car is given the identity(reg plate, age, exclusion from taxation) from the donor vehicle

        OIC. I will have to admit I'm more than just a bit envious.

          I see, I wasn't aware that it was working that way. Makes sense though. Thanks for clarifying.

            I hate email signatures. I hate huge ones that contain every conceivable piece of contact information they can think of. I particularly hate the above on emails from people in the same bloody office. I hate ones that include the email address like the email doesn't know where it's come from. I hate ones that have a fax number like it's the 1990s. I hate ones with images, especially if the image makes the email client think there is an attachment. I hate ones in Comic Sans, you're not fun and wacky, you're a twat. I hate people who cannot be bothered typing their name at the end because they just let the standard sig handle it. If you cannot be bothered signing off with you name then you're getting nothing back from me either. I'm in a grumpy mood today.

              Don't get me started on signatures. In our company you cannot even fight the bloody disclaimer they put on every email! A one line email is usually 20 lines of signature and disclaimer. Now imagine if a dumb-shit dares to reply to all, it get multiplied to eternity and beyond! I hate email and everything that comes with it, specially when somebody writes back "Thanks". No matter how polite it is, its bullshit. Take the phone or use instant messaging, that's why we have implemented it and pay a shitload of money for stuff that people request but never use. I'm grumpy too. Have a nice day:suss:

                  And the marketing drones who drive this sort of behavior. Yes, the reason our company is foundering is because people don't have the same look to their email signatures. Nice analysis, Shemp.

                      You know who it's from before you open the e-mail so why do they have to sign off? Are you going to forget by the time you get to the end? I'm a team-lead of a team that consists of members in 3 differnt Countries and deals with departments in another 2, so I receive/reply to around 100-150 e-mails a day so it would bug the hell out of me to do this (that's what the sig is for). A bug-bear of mine is if I'm in an e-mail chain with 1 other person and they insist on starting each individual message with "Hi Scott". E-mail chains between two people should follow this format. Hi Scott Hi Neil and then any further messages should just be the body of reply with no "Hi Scott/Neil"

                      I hate it when people sign their name and then their email signature provides their name again. This is redundant, anachronistic, and pointless. This "double signing" is annoyingly grating to me, and I'm not sure why as it seems like only a minor issue. For example,
