Go on then, I'll bite, what's all the hatred for dizzle?

Can you see it?

Only a bloody Lancia Stratos. Weapons grade shite.

A120 near Colchester.

Inspired! Wheely bins are an ideal height. Not good working area when filled with nappies or dog turds though.

Genuinely glad you are fixing this in your own way. Keep on truckin! 

When did Peugeots get so damned sexy?

Future shite right there.

Is it the Perodua Khaleesi on Ebay with the black six spoke alloys. They look just a little bit special.

Scrap the Ronda, that Yaris looks ace.

How much does a timing belt, HG and a set of bolts cost for this pile anyway?

I'd offer to keep it at ours but a) it's not that local to you and b) the garage is full of useful* things like dusty exercise bikes and broken childrens toys. The waf wouldn't let it stay on the drive as the neighbours started rustling the curtains when I had the Golf and Alfa too. If you are proper stuck give me a shout and I'll try to clear a space.

Oh bloody hell I love these. Keep trying to convince the wife she needs one so I can get rid of the Multiplop and Eggs type. This one looks really clean from that pic. Ace seating and a cavernous boot. Top buy!

What do you do when you get to the optional final payment of three grand though?

Hand it back, take a new one away for 48 months, ad infinitum...

I fucking hate Top Gear and the three wankers who presented it (with possible exception of JM), but that Africa episode where the white Beetle followed them about as a threat of 'this is the only sensible alternative'; a Dacia Sandero Access on PCP should be the Autoshite version of the Beetle.

Sensible

Affordable

Dependable

I done a pay!

I can probably lend some tools.  Engine support bar may come in handy (no it's not full of drinks).

Oh fuck I think i've just sold myself a Dacia Sandero access.

What New shite could you buy today with £5995 and is it actually better?

You legend! Right gang nobody else bid on this - we need it in the fold. Just like the Aston Cygnet we can claim our fleet average CO2 emissions have been reduced by expanding our range.

They're great, is it the juan seven dizzle?  Eleventy million MPG for you then!  Bombed about in a bright orange arosa 1.0L when I was 17 and it was such a solid thing for something so smoll.  Bit wobbly though.  Great purchase!

Please tell me that's the 20v Lupo in the for sale thread on super sleeper steels and she's dailying that?

Is it the clio?

Does this count as entrance to the 6-Cylinder club?

Just picked up this Ami-6 engine.  It turns over but is quite possibly scrap otherwise.  The idea is to teach my kids a little about engines while we strip it down & possibly rebuild.  if it's any good it can be a spare for my Mum & Dad's 2CV.  Can't wait to get 5 mins and some space in the shit tip garage to get cracking.

Many questions.  Is that cold coffee in a glass, or hot coffee in a glass?  Were there no clean mugs?  Is it some kind of posh glass mug?  If so where's the handle?  Are you drinking it on the floor or have you a rustic table made of floor boards?  if so did you make it or buy it? Asking for the wife see.

Anyway paracetamol for breakfast is what I had today too!  Keep up the good work!

Thanks for this link, it really made me smile.  We all know that even ancient crap can't be kept on the road with baler twine and pop rivets.  I'd really like to see what happens to our salvage cast offs which are 'ideal for export'.  I can imagine stick welding up some old merc vitos is probably doable but as highlighted above there must be some old school engine rebuilders out there re-grinding cranks and cast iron stitching blocks back together.  I'm sure this takes more ingenuity and technical prowess than your local kwik-fit.  I think we need a man on the ground to give us an in depth report.  Perhaps we could collectively post DW there??

One to watch,

These are all 1.2 petrol.

The Cross is a diesel and has an electronic diff, the Cross is also rare and about £4k.

Thanks for the info! 

I spotted this one next to my car in March.  Just checked the reg EX58EZE to see if it was a diesel.  it's untaxed as of 1st of Sept.  Don't you just love finding these anomalies. 

I understand the 1.2 is a good match for the Panda but I would really like to try the 1.3 multijet.

Still good find.  Future classic and all that!
