I fully concur about the scratched LP, sometimes silence or music works but I appreciate people sharing stuff.

As for Valiants, I too have never owned one but thrashed/crashed a few mostly Vf,Vg up the bush and left them. Hard to believe but working ones would be abandoned in the streets (early 80s) and we had a connection that would give them to us after impound time had been served. Drive them hidden in convoy (no plates) into forestry and instant Dukes of Hazzard

Anyway, this is the only Valiant thing I've ever owned...and still do
