scooters Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'm clocking up around 1300 miles a week at the moment and I am thinking that the Daimler XJ40 will cope with about another 3 weeks worth of this abuse before coming off the road for a time.So a new daily driver is required - one that is simple to fix, reliable, returns around 28-30mpg and will swallow a huge milage - so i've bought a 1993 volvo 240 Torslanda estate with 220k on the clock.nice..will get the photos up when i my connection os working better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VWPowered Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Q: Hi, I am currently in the market for a new car. But I need something to suit my hobbies & interests, which are antiques, dogging and ridiculous 'drift' driving. In your opinion, would this car be suitable for my needs? Yours faithfully, D.Dickenson. 22-Jul-09A: NO PROBLEMS, you could drift this car round to your favourite rural car park with a grandfather clock in the backlooks tidy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 a quality car is assured, the Pony would be my selection from the Bollox trolley though, mainly because I've just bought some travel sweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Yeah I got a new ID ages ago for 'serious' sales, i.e. ones where flippant feedback and a pile of negs might make a difference to the sale outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester drawers Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hey Bollox I’m waiting for the inevitable Ambassador listing. Failing that, how about branching out into plant sales with a Dave Tordoff id? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
