If I had such a vehicle, I would offer to sell it to him on condition that he stays in the car when the time comes to drive it off a cliff.

Perhaps now is the time to reveal my latest trick. I find taking three or four slices of bread and placing on/around the roof of double parked cars can have good results.
 
That said, I'd have thought one particular convertible owning knobrocket would have got the message by now. I wouldn't like to have to clean that much bird shit off a soft top on such a regular basis. Never mind, I till find it amusing.

A few years ago I was dropping some people off at a posh do at The Grosvenor in Park Lane , it was very busy and lots of paps and telly cameras . I had to double park in the bus lane,so quickly jumped out and opened the door for the bosses missus. I noticed a bus coming so jumped back in slammed the door and.....I was in the back.
I picked some imaginary lint off the carpet,straightened the cord on the rear phone handset, then tried to keep a straight face as I got out of the back and into the drivers seat with a Routemaster driver beeping his horn at me and all the onlookers pissing themselves.

When I was working in NL a few years ago, we had been out for a night in the town of Middelburg. On the way back to Vlissingen at around 2am, there was a police check point for drink driving.
 
We pulled up and my mate Gary who was totally pissed wound down the windows and slurred, "alright lads?"
 
The Dutch police looked pretty shocked to see the state that he was in and must have thought they'd hit the jack-pot and pulled out the breathalyser immediately!
 
Gary took it and started to blow - they had no idea we were in a RHD Proton Persona
 
In fairness, the cops did laugh about it

I think Dave is suggesting that the seller was aware of the non charging issue and sold it on so it became someone else's problem. I dunno, you can't even trust people selling sub grand motors these days, tsk, etc....

That actually makes more sense if you read it in a West Indian accent. Cha, man.

I spent most of last week undressing a beautiful Italian model and fondling with her bits.
 

 
Engine will turn over and fire, but not run. Uh oh I thought, then realised the fuel tank was completely empty. Okay. Good. Engine is fine.
 

 
Interior stripped. Henry hoover for scale.
 

 
The interior is complete and fully functional, but the dash is disintegrating. Thankfully there is enough of it left so let us remake it from builders foam and vinyl.
 

 

 
Italian wiring. Uh oh spaghettios.
 

 
Just another shot of the engine.
 

 
More pics of the interior.
 

 

 
Final pics are the only sections of rot on the car. All repairable and not that bad, which is good because actual repair panels for this are completely non-existent.
 

 

 

 
Vehicle is complete and very easy to work on. Engine drops out the front complete with the front subframe. FWD so no faffing about with rear diffs. Very nice braking system. Gorgeous smooth flat four boxer engine.
 
Will be getting a complete overhaul, repaint, new red leather interior, new headlining, new everything.
 
The only downside is I'll want to keep it once it's complete.

Look at this viva! I would love to put some original steels back on, people would be like aaaahhh look at that lovely old viva, then you light up the tyres and fly off down the road. laters sucka...

Should we alert Yew Tree now?

Like my dad when he had Renault 16s, every other car he got into he tried to change gear with the wipers. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, wipe, squirt...
