egg Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Good to see you back Bub, shite cars are a good constant in life when other problems crop up. I think. bub2006 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean36014 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Mine lasted 15 years, was seperated for 6 years and finally got my divorce this year. i have a daughter who at the time was 15 so i tried hard to keep things cordial. I get on better with my ex now than i did when i was married. I've managed to buy another house, which is slightly bigger but with no garage, and finally found a girlfriend who is mad on cars too. So whilst sometimes things can seem bad, there can be light and a better future at the end of the tunnel.Best of luck for the future Daz, and hopefully there will be plenty of shite, but not shit. bub2006, eddyramrod, michael t and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
They_all_do_that_sir Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Sorry to hear that Bub, but on the bright side the fiesta is weapons grade, if you end up with the cav as well you'll be winning. Good luck on the new job too. I imagine it's a bit steadier than the delivery work and it makes a monumental difference having people working in home care who actually care...

Felly Magic Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Sorry to hear about relationship woes Daz, but welcome back to the beige place. That Fiesta looks a tidy little thing, not much really to go wrong with the 1.3 HCS Valencia either. bub2006 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Shepherd Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Welcome back! That Fiesta looks ace, especially inside. The seats in late mark 3s are really plush, no doubt due to the Mondeo effect. I remember having a 'Classic' courtesy car in 1997 which had the same 'Papillon' seat trim as certain versions of the aforementioned mid-rangers. bub2006 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 That is true. Not so good is the fact I like early vectras myself so they are a possibility for the larger car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraWomble Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Sad news about the dog, and the wife.But good to see your "Man Maths" game is strong with the Mk 3 Fester. I had one ( well, two) as you know.Fecking hated the piece of shit. Took to leaving it unlocked from about 18 months old onwards in the hope some fecker would rob it - they never did. Eventually P/X on a Laguna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNWeigh Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Sorry to hear of your woes,but chin up ,lots of people have bounced back after owning a 307. Now, let's hear more about this Cavalier. purplebargeken, CGSB, They_all_do_that_sir and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 The cavalier is an unknown as yet, just something I seen. I'm looking for a larger, older automatic and unsure what to go for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Welcome back! I'll echo everyone else, sounds like you're bouncing back pretty quickly. Nice Fez - I like those a lot more than the rounded off sad face version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Thanks, I prefer the dashboard in these, so early 90s Ford. Drives great too. Unsure of the fuel economy at the minute so may be up for sake sooner than I thought but I'll give it a more thought at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hahaha MPGs.Not so much an issue as the larger car will be used for longer runs and I can't see it being much worse than the kia carens 1.8! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 You sure on that?Kia carens was averaging around 22-24. Maybe break 28 on a long run. Enlighten me if I'm wrong, I just thought they would be capable of around 25/26 from info online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
