Must be 30 years since I’ve seen one of these, local Aberdeen registration too

Over the years, I have really enjoyed your vids DW, you often go places and do things with vehicles that I can only dream of, please keep posting. Lately though, I have found it painful watching some of the vids where you have been gainfully trying to fix things (Rover 75 and Multiplex in particular) and getting nowhere, painful in the respect that I wish I could help in some way as often you get disheartened and overwhelmed with all of these broken vehicles, I can totally relate to that. I understand that your tinkering then generates content for your channel too but some of the recent stuff is hard to watch. I used to own over ten cars back in 2018/2019 (thirteen I think doing a quick count up), mostly older (pre-2000) Beemers that were all worth a bit of coin each and all needing something done to get them road legal, I got to the point that the only vehicle I had in working order was my Defender and even that had a snapped handbrake cable for a few weeks. I called time as I was fed up being broke all the time, the final straw being when trying to fit my E32 735i in to the last remaining space left on my drive, I reversed its towbar into the side on my Z1 and cracked the side panel..... I sold almost all of them, not a decision I got to quickly and my wife was very understanding too. Five of them went away together one day on an auction house's transporter, my wife said she visibly saw the sense of relief on my face as we watched them go. Around this time I also had a nasty bout of shingles most likely brought on by stress, the situation I had gotten into with all of these cars had probably added to bringing the shingles on. Look after yourself DW

Manta A

Free are the following items, unsure if any of them work. I have amassed theseover the last 10-20 years, the skip beckons if no-one wants them. Sony CD Changer with cd cassette, mounts and cables Kenwood KDC-C601 CD Changer with cd cassette and cable - this one weighs a ton! Kenwood KDC-C465 CD Changer with cd cassette, mounts, handbook and cable Kenwood KRC-378R Cassette Player withy detachable front, case and handbook. No back loom for this one though unfortunately or I would have used this in my Capri Sony MP3 Player with chassis and rear looms Collect from Aberdeen, I could most likely get them as far south as Dundee in the next couple of weeks or can post at cost if required. Here are some pics, upside down as usual, apologies

CLAIMED PENDING COLLECTION Free as a job lot are the following items, unsure if any of them work. I was given them almost 15 years ago and they have all sat on a shelf since. Compression Tester Krypton Synchro Meter Universal Electronic Ignition, unused Generic rev counter Orbit Test Set Collect from Aberdeen, I could most likely get them as far south as Dundee in the next couple of weeks or can post at cost if required.

Is that the tailgate/back-end of a white Wartburg Tourist at the top middle of the photo, above the Renault 8/10?

My missus had an S Reg KA2 the same colour as that P reg one further up the thread (S350KSP) and that was traded in to Arnold Shark for a brand new 55 plate Imperial Blue SportKa SV55ZPP. I like them but they are few and far between around these parts especially the earlier ones. I really liked these wheels, almost bought a set listed on Gumtree locally a year or two ago just for the hell of it!!

A contender for the cars you didn’t know existed? I’ve never seen a saloon version of a Corolla of that model type

If you look in Streetview, it’s been parking in that street since at least 2008, looks to have been resprayed around ten years ago too.

These two are parked up at a block of pensioner flats beside me, neither have moved this year from what I can see however the Skoda is taxed until Sept and the MX 5’s MOT only ran out a couple of weeks ago,

Was this yours at one time @DodgyBastard

Any more details on this one?
