When my bx needed a couple of plates welding in I dropped it off at my local shite friendly mot tester garage...

He has a few old rovers classic jags all sorts...

He assured me I could borrow a runner to get to work

He gave me the most mental courtesy car I've ever known

A Ford ka with puma 1.7 engine... No rear interior... Ignition barrel was broke and had a doorbell for starter... Door lock was broken and replaced with a. Hasp and padlock.... 5 inch bean can exhaust.... Nato green roller Ed paint... A roof rack bolt dthrough roof skin. Turned out was the apprentices car and he was on holiday

How does he find these idiots that give a car away for half scrap value?

Passat: electrics gone all VW.
This button has suddenly started working, which means the boot won't open unless you press it. 
I'm in the habit of just being able to open it, now I have to try, realise it won't open then press the button. 
Annoying!

Polo probably getting sold 
First dibs go to these people

In that order.
If not, I'll put an advert up.

I think it's best to keep you guys up to date with the RX8 as I feel this is the kind of totally unreasonable car to own but something you'd love to experience. Well buckle up as we are about to embark on a great adventure.
 
Incase you've been under a rock this car was bought by a fellow shiter[mention=27783]Jamie[/mention] who owned it for all of 5 minutes before deciding to roffle. I was very keen and was tempted to buy outright however I respected the roffle and took a punt on 2 tickets. Predictably I lost and our good friend[mention=4295]aldo135[/mention] was the lucky winner. Aldo then owned it for 10 minutes before chucking back up for grabs on here for a measly £800. At this point I felt I had to take the punt as rotary engines are always going to be a risk and it sounded as though it was in reasonable enough condition for me to take the chance on it for very little cash. I met aldo in Edinburgh where he threw the keys at me from about 20 yards away as he ran to the train station to buy another shiters car. Literally didn't even wait until I had paid him. I like the trust we all have for each other it's a very nice change from car purchasing outside of autoshite.
 
What I have learnt in the day and a half of ownership:
Rust is creeping in at the rear of the sills which will need addressing sooner rather than later or the scrap man will be collecting
The steering is rather annoying as you are really fighting it when turning right. I've done some googling and it looks like some have said to clean up some connections. I hope that sorts it.
The exhaust blow is causing the eml to be illuminated and also making a horrendous racket. I'll see what that takes to fix when I get under the car. I'll also see if there is any other rust creeping in.
The engine I think is as solid as a 70k rotary could be! Whilst driving there seems to be good compression (engine braking) and good throttle response with easy starting from hot. Also revs smoothly up to the redline even with the eml on. I think once that's fixed it'll unlock even more power.
Aircon doesn't work and it was a hot day.
Interior is a nice place to be. Feels a little skittish over bumps. I'll check for play in the rear end but no knocks so possibly a tracking issue.
I will be addressing all of these things over the coming weeks I think in order of importance:
Steering (really unpleasant at the moment)
Exhaust leak
Rust
 
I may also have to find a friendly MOT tester due to the decat should it have not blown up by that point. 50/50.
 
Once I've addressed all of those points I think a track day is in order where I will no doubt kill it!
 
 
 

Or buy a cheap beater to last you a few months off here and save the hire car cost? 

I'd imagine that as BMW now sell vehicles which belong in a circus, they provide free* red sponge noses, oversized shoes, red wigs and massive trousers for their impressionable buyers. 
The lardiness of these lumps always make me think of Scotland's finest...
 

You'd find a way. 
 

I thought I would chime in as being the person who sold the car to Tim. I had no issues with the car whilst I had it. It did lose some boost on the way to drop this off on Thursday. I put this down to either running it low on fuel or boost pipe to the intercooler as I had to take it off and clean it as there was some weepage. 
There was no warning lights on the car at all during the time I owned it.  I have apologised to Tim for the issues he is having.

Our exercise today. 
I was followed by one terrible driver. On the straight and down hill,  right up my arse. This was a national speed limit with averaging cameras and I was sticking to 60. However, in the up hills I was booting it up the hills (again sticking to 60) and dick face behind suddenly found out how to follow at a distance. 
Other than that the car got a good exercise. Boy fell asleep so humans not so much exercise.

Hey, it's not for you to apologise, I think it was bad timing. Or I have some magical mystical diesel engine breaking curse. 

There was no codes showing that's the thing. As someone mentioned before on here. I stopped the car let it sit, check the boost pipe. I then turned it on and revved it a good few times and could definitely the turbo kicking in.
