1998 Honda Accord VTEC yo! Eyes down for a full house.

Recommended Posts

After the success* of the R75 raffle, I thought I'd have another go at finding a home for an unloved and unwanted 2 litre saloon car.

 

This time I not only already have the car, but I've looked after it for several years.

This is it's best side, from the front it looks like this

because it needed a scrapyard bumper and bonnet when someone forgot to use the handbrake in a multistory car park.

 

Previous owner gave up and bought a slightly newer honda because the clutch master cyl failed, despite recent spending on brakes, droplinks and tyres (Goodyear efficientgrips all round). It was sulking in the yard for a few months, then I dug it out for someone and did the clutch repairs and a MoT at the end of January. Sadly his insurance company wouldn't take it as a change of vehicle (probably should have checked that FIRST) so I've been trying to sell it since the end of Feb. With no luck!

 

134k miles, starts and drives well. I'd have it myself but I've got a Laguna!

 

£4 a ticket saves this dog from a one way trip to the vets....

 

EDIT - It's in Stanley, County Durham. About 6 miles from the A1(M)

Google directions for getting to where this car is are approximately...

 

Get to M1 (2 miles)

Stay on M1 (A BILLIONTY MILES)

Leave M1 (6 miles)

 

The cheapest train ticket to Newcastle with just a singular change in the land of Brum is £115.

 

SO IT WOULD BE STUPID FOR ME TO ASK FOR NUMBER 24 THEN RIGHT?

 

 

 

 

TL:DR - 24 please.

To make up for all those who are having to contemplate hundreds of miles to collect a two litre beater from the most beautiful part of the country that no-one ever mentions, I promise that if I win, I'll collect it on a bicycle.  

 

I'd say unicycle, but there's a couple of big hills to climb that I don't fancy much!

A friend of mine has been in touch, his mother wants 5 tickets. Seems she's visiting from Ireland next month and thinks this is a good way of arranging a car to drive when she gets here! As she has no forum ID I'm going to call her crazy lady.
