  2. Is it wrong that I want this with a Z20LET in? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/697533718924766/
  3. I don't know what crimble stains are, but if any car has them on the drivers seat then that Fiesta does.

  10. £2k turbo with a new MOT, but described as 'in need of a bit of tidying'. Oh, and 368k. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1489949441758660/
  11. Enterprise. I have a big work meeting tomorrow. Its basically the end of two years worth of work, so I'm under strict instructions to wear a suit and tie, and get to Luton for 8am. I'm also in meetings until 10pm tonight to prepare for it. Now, my company has a policy where if we need to drive for work and its more than 100 miles or so, we rent a car through them. Current provider is Enterprise, and I get booked a 'Focus or similar'. In theory this is great - they're happy to drop off and pick up cars at the office or to your house at a specific time. The problem is, last time I asked for it to be dropped off at home at 6:30pm and eventually, at quarter to ten, someone dropped off a 1.0 base spec Fabia (59bhp!), with the service light on. So, this time I've got a 2 hour gap in meetings so I'll go and pick it up on the way to get the kids from school. I turn up, and the car park is pretty empty. I go in, give them my name and driving licence. 'That's great, thanks very much. Um - would you mind waiting a second until my manager gets off the phone?' Oh balls. Manager comes over. 'Hi angle! I was just wondering, where are you going?' Luton. 'Oh, OK. Where's that?' North of London. 'So...about 150 miles away?' Yeah, that's about right. 'Riiiiight. Its just that, we've only got one car left and its electric (she points to an e-Corsa outside). Its only half charged, so its only got about 70 miles of range. There's a rapid charger at the Shell on York Road (a couple of miles away), if you left it on charge for a couple of hours that should be enough to fill it up?' OK, but if its half full with a range of 70 miles, then a full charge still won't get me to Luton? And I don't have time to charge it tonight and I'm already leaving at half five. 'Yeah. Yeah, OK. Um - what about a van?' She gestures to a LWB high-top Movano outside. *uncomfortable silence* 'No, no, OK. Um, let me make some calls.' Which is how I found myself waiting outside a backstreet garage in Hartcliffe for a Nissan Juke to be MOTed, with the Corsa lurking around the corner with the Enterprise manager inside, like one of those Clarkson-era Top Gear episodes where they get followed round Bolivia by a Marina or an AMC Gremlin or, um, a Nissan Juke or something in case their Porsche breaks down. tldr; I've got to drive to Luton in a Nissan Juke. With the service light on. Fuck my life.
  12. I just googled that. It was designed for the King of Saudi for him to do falconry in. The seats rise up 80cm so you can launch birds out of the sunroof without having to stand up. It also has a meat fridge. I am going to be disappointed if @dome's new ride doesn't have a meat fridge.
  13. This base spec one was parked up at the local VW van dealer (who also do cheap car hire) six months ago:
  14. V6 HDi, long MOT, £1k. How bad could it be? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202309111827766 (Obviously I've not picked a photo of the other side where a large dog has taken a bite out of the front wing)
  15. Think I've found an even shonkier towing rig than yours.
  16. Choose your fighter. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1736992236746418/ https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/196531260107047/

  22. £485 with test... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202307199828836
  23. My friend's dad's 600 rolled out of its parking space in a multi storey, down a ramp and apparently made quite a mess at the other end...
  24. Similar cars, different time - have some taxis and buses from a trip to Cuba a few years ago. Admittedly (a) most 'taxis' are a random guy or a friend of your guesthouse owner who are willing to give you a lift to get some CUCs, and (b) these were the more interesting ones, most we got in were Moskviches. This was our airport taxi, I think @vulgalour identified it as a 40s Cadillac (y'know, over a Soviet truck chassis).
