D Spares & Tyres Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 The problem with autoshite is that you can rarely buy an unusual vehicle for pennies anymore. At least not a useable one anyway. I can't get excited over Vectras and Focuses, sorry. Just not rare enough. Some lovely classic cars on here but they are not shite. This is about as individual as it gets for a modern, surely? Didn't really want it but it was so cheap I couldn't refuse. Under the paint is a tidy car with. A reasonable history and lowish miles.Very tidy interiorLady ownerMercedes diesel engine, so pissing fuel out..Breaker?May the farce be with you? Well after a good look round it and a bit of a drive on some private roads I actually like it. It doesn't seem to need anything for a test. I've fixed the fuel leak for £1. Think it needs a crank pulley though, there is a dreadful clatter on tickover but it goes when revved. I was questioning my judgement but everyone other than mrsdodgy thinks it cool Asimo, Junkman, Dick Longbridge and 25 others 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Mercedes diesel engine...... there is a dreadful clatter on tickoverThere's your answer, right there. Funny enough there's one been advertised today on a Facebook group local to me. 2.4 petrol, no MoT, I do like these... D Spares & Tyres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I was looking at a PT Cruiser the other day, and realised that I actually really like them. I think I mostly don't like the faux-Americana that haunts these cars like some fuggin' ghost. You know, wolf T-shirts and that sort of tacky shite. blakey79, Junkman, D Spares & Tyres and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefag Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 These things are surprisingly comfortable and a very clever use of space. I like them.I'm off to the US next week, if there's anything of reasonable size that you require, I may be able to help.

D Spares & Tyres Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 I always hated these and wondered who bought them when new.Ah.Michael McIntyre fans.... This car came with the original sales brochure with the sales persons card attached. Dick Lovatt Bet she does By the way, this car is built in Austria...

warren t claim Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 And I used to call the Allegro estate a Smurf hearse. I think the baton has been handed over to the PT Cruiser.

Cavcraft Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Absolutely dreadful, true scraping-the-bottom-of-your-shoe motoring. Well bought. Now paint the wheels red, make some port hole windows for the sides using a steak and kidney pie tin foil dish, make a skull with lighting up eyes as a gear knob and get yourself to Rhyl.

strangeangel Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 A PT Cruiser with a CB radio fitted... I take it you've already scraped the confederate flag off the roof then? Fair dos, that's as bad as it gets; a car with no redeeming features whatsoever.

dieselassist Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 ... Autoshitting at its reverse best- if you'd paid money for that you've obviously been charged with some serious 'long stretch' offence, n need to escalate your insanity 'defense' to the fullest, n have it 100% 'water'tight' - I commend you legal counsel for its far reaching 'vision'... specially the bit about not being into Vectras n Focus's; prosecution might aswell throw the towel in...
