Belfast Gipsy

Not sure they ever made a 3.5 Delica. I've had three over the years 2 x2.8 diesel and a 3.0i petrol which was remarkably smooth. They are very useful tools - good buy

It's great to see this getting a few bob spent on it just because you love it

You're right I am old - I had a set fitted to a then new Mk1 Fiesta  

Yes - where is Billy? Not left us has he? 

As above this is the Mitsuoka Viewt. Based on Nissan Micra oily bits. Check them out (E-bay usually have a few) and see their wonderful take on Bentley etc

You'd need to catch a bus to get from one end of it to the other!

Minor excitement here this afternoon - the Citroen left behind after the woman smashed its window (and then got evicted) gained a wheel clamp, courtesy of the guy in the 69 plate flatbed, who then took lots of pictures of the damage on it

He was then heard having a heated discussion with the woman over the phone about getting the keys, before this arrived

Guessing it had some sort of finance outstanding on it.

Can't pay - we'll take it away. Simples

Great stuff - keep them coming

Overtaker mirror bolted to the quarterlight frame? Definitely don't drill the wings for mirrors. The one saving grace on my old Viva is that it never had mirrors or aerials fitted, so still fairly rust free - well on the wings anyway!

Good value and GR8 fun, but sadly 300+ miles away. GLWS

Does that mean STILL for sale, or back on the market? I did do a little stalking on Rightmove the last time it was on.

Toyota by a mile

That Roma caravan would have been sold as a "dry" van (ie no toilet or sink) so no nightime problems of geting to the loo. 

Best estate of ever

Kim still writes for Car Mechanics and had an write up about this Zafira in a recent issue. CM still run an "our Cars" column which is quite interesting as a few of the contributors run our kind of chod

Bestest cars of eva - more updates please

Sod work - more pics/tales please!

I still use one of those mops (mine;s called Californian car duster) - they're GR8 for wiping over dusty cars left in storage. They have some oil & paraffin type solution soaked into the head

Mr Bickle at his best -  welcome back - love the FSO

^^ Clever & brilliant - I'm still laughing

Good to see you back on here Mr B. More pics of your amazing collection is always welcome.

What a brilliant thread - right up my street as a Jap gatherer and the right era too. Congratulations on having chronicled them so meticulously - please keep them coming right up to the more modern Toyotas

^ Rally hope you get this - deserves to be amongst us, it's a beaut

Good buy for someone - and not as boring as you might think. This type is the most reliable car of ever.

GLWTS

Well that's 30 minutes of my life that I'll never get back - what a load of old tosh. 

Q21 - "Some goods are pleasant and fun" - have you seen my motley collection? Neither pleasant or fun, but I love them all (on good days)

Q28 -  car needs repair "4 times in 4 weeks"  - take it over the bridge pal.

Sorry Mr Doctor924 these questions not aimed at Autoshite folk
