Supernaut Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I saw something astonishing earlier when I left work. A Goona II being used as a taxi. The offshore worker getting picked up from the helicopter terminal in that must have felt like a winner*. somewhatfoolish, scdan4, GrumpiusMaximus and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernaut Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 D'aaw. My dad has a Siromar. It's a wee bit bigger than that (it's about the size of an old grey Ferguson) and makes a whopping 28hp. However, it has 4WD and diff locks, so it may not go fast, but it goes just about anywhere. GrumpiusMaximus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmorris Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Not sure if grin or grump, but on balance probably fits here better. Cycling in to work this morning on my decrepit 1976 3-speed Raleigh Wayfarer, and some bloke in a Porsche Cayenne sat in traffic in the other direction bips his horn, winds his window down and offers to buy me a better bike.You’ve pulled!

somewhatfoolish Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 It looks alright bub, low mileage, big chunk of MOT, the 1.4 TU is a sweet engine. He's right you know, peppy is the word for these things. ZX + 1.4 TU = many funs. Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myglaren Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 ^ all seems rather sordid and pathetic. Surely with that much money a better alternative could have been found. Something like this, although the price may be a bit high for most. News.com au.Not the one I was looking for - was posted on ARRSE earlier but the idea is the same - not that unusual it appears.

Mrcento Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Getting on for a month since i put the offer in on the unit that was rejected, It still sits totally empty, so that's already over £500 the landlord is down. And i bet it'll still be empty this time next month And the month after And the month after. The guy's going to end up thousands down and still have a unit in need of doing up at the end of it, all because he wanted top bucks right away. Nae luck sunshine, should have taken my offer. barefoot, Banger Kenny, paulplom and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I had a really quiet day at work today, often this can result in boredom but fortunately I arrived prepared. I wasn't prepared through organisation but through laziness. I had planned to service the 405 earlier in the week but hadn't got around to it so had oil and filters in the boot. I now have a freshly serviced car. I did some welding earlier in the week and still had the kit in the boot. This means that a door on the building I've been meaning to fix for about 2 years now has a fresh set of bolts attached. Another grin was a big parcel arriving from Dome of this parish. The result was a very full Peugeot on the way home to a very happy teenager. dome, GrumpiusMaximus, richardmorris and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I like them. We have two every days cars, a Nissan X Trail and ZX. I prefer the ZX by farI've had numerous saxos, Picassos,a xantia and a xsara but never a zx. It's not bad at all for a 1.4. Think alternator bearings aren't great though and a noise like a droplink on driver side. Front and rear bumpers a bit scuffed up and outer indicator lense missing on driver side. Oh and stereo has no code! D Spares & Tyres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulplom Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I've used this garage for 20 years or so. I rang yesterday morning for a service and mot on our 2006 V70. They said just to bring it down. My partner dropped itabout 12. they rang at 3 asking if I was picking it up! full service, mot, new rear discs and pads and they were busy welding the exhaust as the receptionist was talking to me. There's a few garages could take a lesson from that. If I have issues with my van they drop everything to get it sorted. It's like a formula one pit crew watching them. https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Automotive-Repair-Shop/Barrington-MOT-Centre-657190807717963/ It's worth having a look through their page at some of the stuff they do. There's a defender with the 'dreaded disease'.£300 damage for a years motoring's not too bad. Cycling with my son 15 miles for it this morning. mrbenn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
