Re: Some real beauties
 

Don't forget the mill owners, Mr Bullough, Mr Howard, the owners of Broad Oak etc.
They'd be sweeping down the drives from Oak Hill Park, Haworth and the other mansions in some fine motors, perhaps waving to the workers doffing their hats(if they noticed them)!

Re: Some real beauties
 

They're even renovating Haworth's Motor House so who knows what 'real beauties' you'll soon be seeing?

Re: Some real beauties
 

Yes,it's suppose to be being converted into a art studio...that is if it's the building at the side of the art gallery (the old stables/garage)...


...it's empty...there are pics on this site somewhere that I took of the inside ;)

Re: Some real beauties
 

'Daaarling, Jeeves says there's a naked woman in the Motor House and a man with a paint brush! Do you know anything about it?'

'Fear not, my sweet, she's not mine, we never use the Motor House, might mark the Rolls'.

Re: Some real beauties
 

Not into cars at all...

Anyway. There was quite a lot of the same classic car in a yard a few years back, you could see them all whilst you was walking past in on the canal in clayton

Re: Some real beauties
 

Not even on Grand theft auto? :p

Was that guy who had the yard at Clayton a Rover collector?
I'm sure he had a old Rover105 there last time I walked past...

...hardly the same pedigree as these 'beauties'.

Re: Some real beauties
 

None of the cars on GTA have real names and being that I am not into cars I cannot name what they are liking to. I don't play GTA5 all that much. I find the multiplayer to be lacking content, longevity and is a tad on the boring side. Most of the time when we play, I let someone else do the driving. I don't think a lack of interest in cars is the reason that I am completely useless at driving them in games :P

Just remember that most of them was black and very banged up :D
