    C4MRY on and old Toyota Camry, I didn't 'pap it' as the guy was sitting in the car, I was in a rucking fush and didn't want to strike up any sort on conversation with an old car nerd, I did that a few days earlier, couldn't shut the fekker up as he rattled on about all the cars he'd owned

    Ahah, the talking Maestro in MG Flavour.  
    First of all with the R Series Engine, a 'refinement'. (If that is the right word) of the Maxi E'series turned back to front with the plugs at the back of the engine.  
    Then the later S series engine, a further refinement with a cambelt and plugs at the front.  
    I've lived with both 'Bing Bong, Headlights On, Bing Bong, Washer Fluid Low...........it was always a novelty at first, then after I while it was Ding Ding, shut the fuck up will you.
    reminds me, must top up my washer fluid cos I've had a silent movie running on my dash for a few days now, it won't be too long before I'm totally old skool and topping up because it is empty.
    you've took it on the chin with at base really.  I'd have gaffer taped that roof up, taken the fuse out and smoked it until the MOT was out. Then moved it on for the few tokens.  However, can also understand the wanting rid.

    I’ve got an old Devon number that was on a MK2 Toyota MR2 I bought years ago, I kept it when I sold the car on and it’s subsequently been on a BMW E36, Toyota Celica and now this.

    Had this for 40 years,it's been on umpteen different cars,vans and lorries. Obviously it's my initials and it must have cost me a fortune in transfer fees over the years!

    oil drainer, came free with oil and filter etc years ago.  A quick wipe of the drainer part and jobs a good un.  Easy to transfer old oil to an empty can and no fekkin about cleaning the inside like those bowl types.

    I’m aware of both the slowing down hand signal and the left turn hand signal.  As for a left turn whilst slowing down, the only person I’ve seen do that is the Queen, although ironically she was been driven at the time

    Isaac Hunt got a reaction from colino in Bangernomics 'The Numbers'   
    Our MGZR came to us in 2013 for £650. 60k Miles, 6 Former keepers.  
    It had some good MOT and was pushed straight into service.  First MOT required a couple of Tyres and. Track Rod End.  Then the clutch release bearing failed, so we threw a new three part clutch at it.  
    A cambelt and waterpump was also undertaken.
    A headgasket at 82k and other than a few sets of  brake pads and a set of four tyres, it needed nothing more than a couple of CV Gaiters and a set of spark plugs, a clutch cable, that is all it has needed.
    it was laid up for a year during the pandemic and pressed back into service  12 months ago.
    Reluctantly,  I've just scrapped it today.  It needed a section of still splashing with a welder.  It also needed a nsf strut assembly after a uhnfortunate altercation with a kerb.  Add onto that a set of four tyres as they were all on the limit.  
    MOT is up the end of next week and the local Scrapyard offered £400. 
    I hated driving it over to the scrapyard, but it's really surplus to requirements.  The lacquer and paint was hanging off one side where it had been painted at some time, so it looked a real mess down the one side.  
    Heart still said fix it up and keep it going, but head said at £250 depreciation plus running costs, we've had our value out of it. It was just about to turn 140k

    My bad then,  I always understood Bangernomics was the economics of running and older car.  10 years in considered 'end of life' and judging by the number  of 10 year old cars in my local yard and thus anything over 10 years is banger territory.  
    What is the pedantic definition these days then?
