strangeangel Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Bumtree and eBay will be the more successful mediums for this type of bike as thats where most people wanting a cheap commuter go shopping - there are a couple of facebollocks groups too that may draw some interest ( though from personal experience its more likely to be "can you deliver to the moon M8" and "how much for cash 2nite M8" responses). Don't forget that old favourite 'IS THERE ENUF PETROL 2 RIDE BACK 2 ABEREDN BLUD?' Life's too short to deal with Gumtards.

Supernaut Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'm genuinely happy that Cavcraft has got a Transit now. He's been talking about getting a bigger van for a while. It feels like some sort of closure, and perhaps a step up in the sort of weird random motorised shite he'll be collecting and posting in this thread. sporty-shite and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Deja vu with red transits! Mini is a wee belter. These actually have a dashboard that looks like a cyclopsesque Rover 75 item. They also haven't aged a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Ooh, an 85T260, that'll be fast*. Until it shits its injector pump. To be fair, these aren't a bad steer for a van, and seem decent enough on diesel too. Until they shit their injector pumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Have been looking for a holiday car for a bit now, nothing really jumped out at me until an hour ago. Gumtree/translator (really) and a quick hop across town and I've bought home the bacon... 2008 CDTi 150, nigh on 12 months MOT, new tyres, recent belt and about 1/3rd of the price of similar ones I've seen.My last one was a 120, this feels like an express train in comparison, stupidly quick really. mrbenn, eddyramrod, ShiteRider and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I had a Saab-badged one of those and it didn't half go. Easily remappable to 190bhp, apparently, whereupon 150mph is alleged to be possible with a long enough run-up. Bonus pikey number plate too.

Cavcraft Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Came from N.I apparently, though I live on a council estate so it's fits in with the usual demographic. That remapping malarky sounds a bit of a laugh. Jim Bell and The Moog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucedoctor Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Any extra holes in the dash? PSNI Special Brew had a few that spec and colour. EDIT to add. The Peelers liked the Vectra, not so much the Inshitnia. When the Insignificant is up-armoured, it's hard to get in and out of if you're wearing Kevlar. Small door aperture vs Vectra armoured.

Cavcraft Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Right, that's the Cooper gone. F*ck me, what a struggle that was, and I very nearly gave up on the buyer. Obvs. something had to go wrong to counter this, so I think the Vectra is about to excrete it's DMF. Best quote so far (supply and fit DMF, new clutch and slave cylinder) is £570.
