  1. And most importantly: Poo count.
  2. TFFT! There's enough to put me off it
  3. That R5 has potential looking at those pics, but your link goes to a Micra previously posted... could you dig it out again? For those of us who don't / won't use Facebook. (Not that I need you finding me any more toot to buy! )

    Yes indeed it is, Sir. No velour, no s/r, no a/c, no CD, just one airbag, wind-up glass in the back etc. Does that mean it's rock bottom bASe spec?
  5. Edit: We collected from even further north than they were, had to make a pit stop at their unit in Thornaby!
  6. Thought I recognised that! It's my brother Will's old one. This is the day we collected it from @vulgalour @Mike_Knight and @chompy_snake in the ex- @M'coli 106

    It would be a shame not to replicate these... Can someone please remind me, what was the place that makes nice reproductions?

    From one of the Facebook pictures I could just make out the reg, and the MOT history looked bonzer, definitely worth a look. Also from the pics I worked out it was parked up at the Alfa specialist near the abandoned church in Denholme. Which is just about three miles from my tame MOT man. Handy. The plan was to A-frame it the short distance and leave it there, but PW put paid to that idea. The seller (small time trader) was initially a bit miffed when I told him what happened but could tell I wasn't messing him about. He really got me out of a tight spot by making the one hour round trip to pick me up from near Skipton, we had a good chat in his car about all sorts. Up at Denholme, all of The Shrew's tyres were soft, as was the battery. But it started and drove all ok, I think it is mechanically and bodily absolutely sound, just some bits of the interior is a bit tired cracked or knackered, and the seats could do with a good cleaning. I was just a little bit disappointed to be honest, but I was very grateful to the chap, and handed over his full £650 asking price. Only right in the circumstances, I feel. It looks completely poverty stricken outside in the drizzle now. I didn't even know these came with unpainted bumpers. But it should MOT without too much bother and at least see me through the season while I continue my search for a suitable 4WD MPV that doesn't have a five figure price tag.

    I'm back to the Pleasure Wagon to empty it of valuables. The Galaxy is ok, it's getting me home, (another 30 mins). It's not as clean as in the pictures, and it's a bit damp inside. Maybe because the driver's window keeps dropping. The headlights and wipers are crap, worse than on the PW, that's really saying something. But hopefully room for improvement before it goes for a test. Onwards!

    This one was registered when the current Mrs KJ was just a month old. And it recently featured in the eBay thread, thanks @SEATMad That doesn't narrow it down much, does it? 😅

    O no! The Pleasure Wagon suddenly cut out, no compression.
  19. ^^ That's perfect @SEATMad you can have the rest of the day off now!
  20. This is the cheapest AZ1 I've seen for a long time. And it might be the last at this sort of money (£10k OTR in UK, or a whisker over). I'd love a toy like this, what a thing! If anyone goes for it, promise me I can have a go 🙏 https://www.cardealpage.com/mazda/az-1/21589880/?refkey=ae6faf8f351ffb6c5061e28fe5d5c75f
  21. How 90's is this? If that square thing in the dash is a blanking plate, it's the biggest I've ever seen. https://carfromjapan.com/cheap-used-honda-stepwagon-1996-for-sale-65b8c779ce60a5e7761135b8
