MAZDA RX8 with LPG Conversion


This is our Mazda RX8 which has been converted to run on LPG. Without this conversion we would not have been able to afford to keep the car. It covered 35000 miles last year alone! It was converted at 57000 miles and has now covered over 100000 (January 2012), We achieve around 150 miles per tank, it is a 50 litre tank which will hold 40 litres of LPG. It will start on petrol then switch over to LPG when ready. It's been 100% reliable. The conversion was carried out by Hardy's Garage www.hardysrecovery.co.uk using an 8 cylinder Eg@s kit and a modified ECU. There is a slight reduction in road tax but only a measly £10 per year!

Decaying NSU Ro80, discovered in a Norfolk back garden.


We recovered this Ro80 from a back garden in Sheringham, Norfolk. It had been there for a good ten years or so. The lady that owned it wanted it to be of use to someone rather than just scrap it, and kindly let me have it. It's unfortunately too far gone to save but I will salvage all I can from it. It may surprise some people that I visited the car several months earlier, armed with some fuel, a battery and some plugs and got it going, there were a few surprised spiders etc when it fired up!

NSU Ro80 Discovered in Chipstead Woods, Surrey UK Part 1


I found out about this Ro80 many years ago. I was told about it by a work colleague, they lived nearby and her son remebered the car being there from when he was still at school! The woods used to be a common dumping ground for stolen cars. I went along with friend Clive Thomas, his son Philip (filming) and a wheelbarrow full of tools to remove the engine and anything else of use we could find. The thinking was if it had been a young car at the time it ended up there, the engine could well have been low mileage and been of some use for parts. On stripping the engine we found the housings to have virtually no wear, but they had (as pretty much expected) corroded beyond use. Nonetheless, we found a few bits of use and it made for an interesting day out!

"Gay Muppet Bar" by Phil n' Dog THE Official Video by Exactshit


This was the first bootleg we ever made as Phil n' Dog, and as such it's not the best quality but it's silly which was the whole point. Originally made to be entered into the Gay Bar Remix competition on Eddy Temple-Morris's XFM show, it unfortunately arrived too late so was not entered. It has obtained a bit of a cult status on the internet and a few people have put their own videos to it. There had actually been a video made some time back by Exactshit AKA Hexstatic which was played out on occasion during their live shows so I thought it was about time it went up on here! Hexstatic also created the Video for our mashup "Doctor Pressure" which was released by Mylo in 2005 and became a massive worldwide hit. More Phil n' Dog material can be found at www.myspace.com/philndog and Hexstatic at www.myspace.com/hexstatic

1987 Vauxhall Carlton Advert Features NSU Ro80


In this 1987 UK advert for the Vauxhall Carlton they used an NSU Ro80 to show how the Carlton "Certainly puts the skids under it's rivals" despite the fact that the Ro80 came out in 1967 and ceased production some 10 years before the Carlton even came out! It was used due it's modern looks so as not to offend any of the other current manufacturers of the time by using one of their vehicles. The Ro80 was clearly handbrake turned for such dramatic effect.

Garmin Maposaurus Ad - Features NSU Ro80 & Ford Cortina


The NSU Ro80 featured in this advertisement is one of mine. It was filmed in 2006. Because the advert was destined for the US they wanted a left hand drive which I fortunately had. The Ro80 is a 1967 model and believed to be the second oldest known survivor.
