Wonder if anyone's checked to see if there's someone trapped under the bonnet and the knocking noise is them signalling to be let out ?

My neighbour has one. Been 100% good as far as I know and quite nicely appointed...

The knocking could just be the little timing chain...

I have been pointed to this rather delicious option which would definitely have been for me had my daughter not banned me from diesels!!

OOOOHH!!

Whilst perusing the forthcoming South East Marts Osney Lodge auction sale, I was somewhat perplexed by item 777.

I guess you have to attend the auction to see if it is what you think it is

Presumably it goes with half of lot 761?

Possibly a weather cock? Whatever it is, that did give me a little giggle...

Well, as this thread seems to have taken a strange turn, here's my photo of a large cock seen as we travelled through the Ain départment in France. The photo was taken in August 2007 but we had seen it many times before then and since.

Some uncertainty as to if it's £1500, over £1000, over £5000 or swap for a Land Rover!
