I always thought that the Fuego was a cool car. My work colleague had a turbo with Turbo written on he bottom of the doors in big letters.
His was quite rusty though and he ended up trading it in under the scrappage scheme as he could get more money for it that way. Shame

Thanks I found out that they didnt do a bench on these for some reason but made the seats stick together so 3 could sit in the front as the manual versions they wanted it to be a floor change rather than column. Thanks again

As above the other day I said that I went looking at a car but I got to Bridport and turned round told the owner and they were ok about it.
A couple of days later from this my father has been on my facebook account sending messages to the owner who I had already told him that I wasnt going to buy his car.
My dad offered to put the money in his account but he refused saying he had someone coming round for it.
I then got a message while I was getting some tyres for my smart car saying the other person cancelled.
Well I actually made it there this time on Friday 16th June. My dad told me to go and knock on the door and he got his mat out of the smart car and looked underneath.
The man came out with a couple of friends and then my dad said it was ok underneath-He didnt want to do any more welding after sorting out my P6.
I then took it for a test drive and the car seemed slow but drove ok . I then went back and told my dad to drive it and he did and he came back smiling saying yep its fine-a little slow but a service etc will sort that.
My dad transferred the money into the owners account and we set off. I got about 5 miles away and it started to smell like brakes.
I got to the roundabout on the a35 and coolant came up and hit the windscreen and steam from under the bonnet.
I went round the roundabout and someone was beeping there horn at me and I pulled into a layby.
I then contacted the breakdown people and they said they would put it through as an emergency as I was on an A road.
After an hour and a half a recovery company rang me. They said we have been tasked to take you back to Plymouth but we dont have a driver to do it tonight so I had 2 choices.
They take the car to Dorchester then wait to see if the breakdown company could sort a relay or they would take the car back to their depot and then deliver it when available.
I said just deliver it when you can.
Well Today Sunday 18th June 2023 my car got delivered to me on a low loader.
I have alrady spent much to much on bits for it but Im really liking the car.
Here it is a 1963 Wolseley 16/60 automatic.
Its not mint but the body is tidy but it was a car that wasnt used much as the previous owner passed away and then the person I bought the car off bought it from the deceased estate.

Looks great love lupos. That photo makes the grey one look alot smaller than the yellow one.

I saw a car for sale in Poole. A wolesley 16/60. I agreed a price with the seller and made my way to go and have a look. I live in Plymouth but I got to Bridport and then something came over me and I messaged the seller explaining that I wouldnt be coming to look at the car as I really couldnt justify it while I have other things going on. The seller seemed ok with it but I have been feeling guilty as I dont like being a time waster but things are changing in my life and that £3000 could be used for rent for 3 months. I wont go into m changes as it has alot to do with my mental health etc. I just felt awful for the seller.

@grogee I don't understand you laughing emojee on my comment.
That 75 has been for sale many times. I saw it a while ago with different pictures and the bodywork is knackered. Then you have cambelts water pump etc. The sills probably need looking into also brakes tyres etc. It soon ads up. I only state this as I have easily spent silly sums on my old 75s. They can chew money

Confused on this one. Was the 75 launched in May 1999? Some other posts suggest they were launched in 1998. This one was registered in March 1999 and is close plate of another known early car. Over to those in the know?!
Edit: Found a post by @montytom confirming it has all the hallmarks of an early one:
Hi this one is a pre launch, The 75 was launched in early 99 but they made some at the tail end of 98 for photoshoots etc, Then some were kept by management and others scrapped. I had an s reg one many years ago but the T reg pre production ones are more common.
On the VIn plate it would show two '00's denoting a pre launch car.
Its a nice spec but the bodywork would be alot to fix and by the time cambelts etc have been done you would be nearly £4000 in if not more.

Motorcyclists: how important is it to you that your jacket and trousers zip together?
I have an old Alpinestars V1 jacket and I’m pondering getting some trousers that attach. Did they change zips much through the years?
When I have bought gear aslong as its the same brand the zip was normally the same. But failing that I paid £40 for mine to have new zips.

Perfect colour and the interior being cream is always a delight to see. I hope this serves you well
