Coprolalia Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'm not going to be a Gumtree/eBay wanker. I'm going to rule myself out. I will admit it's a beautiful motor, and perfectly occupies a niche in my fleet I need filled, but a complete lack of time and money (house move) means this can't be my first Autoshite purchase. Someone please buy it and then sell it to me in six months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Well, that looks significantly better for a wash then when I saw it today. I believe the first thing I said on seeing it was "that looks terrible... but in a good way." Sounded pretty healthy when it turned up.

Lord Sterling Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Looking good there! I was half tempted and even planned on taking it for a wash and hoover, but time constraints meant I couldn't do that. What do you think on how it drives? I thought it was great! Very nippy, frugal with well comfy seating. red5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 It does drive very well, though I didn't go far. I'm gonna have to fiddle with the seating position I think as even a run to the jet wash and back gave me spinal discomfort. Thinking back, I've ended up putting a deep dish steering wheel on every other 205 I've had. Compensates for lack of column adjustment and seat height adjustment. So that may be on the cards. Really happy with it though. I was expecting far more squeaks rattles and creaks. Good solid little bus.

red5 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'm biased naturally, but it drives very well indeed. Replaced due to needing 5dr for kids compatible transport. Will no doubt buy it back and spend yet more time/ cash again at some point. Sterling work by ...oh,wait...Lord Sterling in yet again helping to thin out the red Squadron !

Fabergé Greggs Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Can't wait to think of reasons not to buy this next week. JohnK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Can't wait to think of reasons not to buy this next week. Theres a queue forming man. I gave the interior a good hover and clean out today. Fuel light also came on so I topped the tank so that I could engage in my favorite pastime of calculating real world MPG. Things to do: Sort a relay for the intermittent wiper feature. Probably swap the steering wheel for the sake of fat tall man comfort. Enjoy. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
