gdhaydock Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Apologies, not been around much lately due to work commitments and spending far too much time over on landyzone. Anyway, I've just returned from 5 days living in a field (in the rain), on Sunday evening, whilst slightly* drunk, I bumped into a member of this very forum. The topic of conversation very quickly changed to cars and I was informed that a relative of the aforementioned forum member had a vehicle for sale and did I know anyone interested in buying it. Naturally I agreed to buy it there and then. The cold light of the morning after (with a stinking headache and a stale taste in my mouth from the poison I had been drinking the night before) I had a vague recollection of the conversation the previous evening. I then got in the disco and went to meet the seller where the merchandise was inspected* and a transaction agreed over a cup of coffee and a chocolate biscuit. A deposit was duly paid. The car in question is borderline acceptable to this forum (its only 12 years old), but based on the fact it has gaffer tape repaired light clusters, various parking dents and a grumbling wheel bearing it should fit in. More details of the vehicle and the epic* collection thread will follow once some paperwork formalities have been completed. In my giddy / hungover state this morning I forgot to take any pictures. brickwall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it might be a wee gem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayne Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Is it the ex-dolly wobbler Discovery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdhaydock Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 No, already got a disco, but your very slightly closer than a Focus. If it helps, I don't believe the vehicle in question has been advertised on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rml2345 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Freeloader? I'm sure the ex DW Disco was much older than 12... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdhaydock Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 No, still veering off on a tangent that's leading to a dead end. There'll be another clue a bit later on (BHP figure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdhaydock Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Not an accent or terios either. It's not a barge, neither is it anything along the lines of discovery / trooper / land cruiser etc. (Or a freelander) It also has more than 100BHP (exact figure will be defined later this evening) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
