The 2016 Want it, Got it thread...

Recommended Posts

Ok so this year my fleet has been somewhat stale as it's contained 3 "non sellers", but next year I am hoping to freshen it up with something new, so I present the want it, got it thread.

 

 

Got it;

2000/X Xsara Picasso 1.6 petrol; high miles tip run tool.

 

1999/S Peugeot 306 Convertible, 67k ish, cambelt, springs and hood repaired when I first bought it. Everything works but the rear screen is foggy. (Available affet July 17th)

 

 

 

Want it:

Mitsubishi RVR

Some sort of factory built pickup truck

Ford Anglia/ Popular 3 box shape

Mk2 Fiesta

Luxo Barge?

Manky MiniMetro.

 

Now obviously my list is unlikely to generate straight swaps, but you get the idea, perhaps we can all get something new without the hassle of buying a shitbox on bumtree.

got it-

Rover 75

Jaguar XJR

Austin Metro

Austin Mini

 

want it-

something allegro shaped...

a maxi perhaps?

 

but as SWMBO keeps saying i've got too much already, 1, many or all of the got ones will i think be leaving next year.

 

plus i'm well out of love with the mini and metro, so i think they will be my "winners" at the game of shit in-shit out.

Got it

 

Broken Austin, Battered Disco,  Cherry

SWMBO who won't see the first two leave

 

Want it

 

Working BL tat,  workhorse,  reliable runabout

 

The obvious choice is just fixing the 1100 really,  I'm tempted to swap the Cherry for something more suitable for my handyman job that is also better for motorway runs but it's actually fine at either job if I just take my time.  Chancing on a 405TD estate could sway me though.

 

I still want a small brown Triumph but as they only come in saloon form I couldn't replace the Cherry with it.

Got       2003 Honda Civic,

Want    Something just as cheap and reliable but slightly more inspirational

Result  Keep driving the Honda but tell anyone who will listen I'm thinking of buying an Alfa Romeo/ Lancia/ Opel Manta very very soon.

Are you sure, my friend?

 

Want:

Volvo 244 big bumper (ideally) and automatic in high a spec as possible.

Or

Volvo 740 2.3GLE auto, early flat front type.

Done both of those.  You definitely should.

Ok:

Got It:

MG Zt (veh nice and daily)

Proton 1.3GLS currently not road legal pickup

Daihatsu Applause 1.6GXi OMGHGF

Want:

All of the above without OMGHGF or non road legal status ... Then maybe an Xm estate and a housing application form because the woman in my life would evict me for having too many things :D

How about about a second woman in you life so you can keep two cars with each of them and they will both think you are a fine fellow!

Same here. I just really liked both and want to have them again!

 

My old 740 GLE auto.

And my old 244 DL.

Really don't know why I sold either of them. I wish I'd put them into storage somewhere instead.
