Jamie reacted to SiC in 2003 Audi TT Mk1 1.8T Quattro - Gone!
That looks a bit too nice for me. My finger is hovering over the bid button on this at the moment. Not that I need another car with fucked paint.

I don't really want a silver car but I think they do look reasonably smart in silver. Not least iirc the design is inspired off some 1930s racer that it's in silver.

So in conclusion.
New cars are shit.
Prestige cars are shit.
Old cars are shit.
Basic entry level cars are shit.
Garages are shit.
Private sellers are shit.
It's all gone to shit

Jamie reacted to DavidB in ebay 'BARGAINS'
Not so much a 'bargain'*, but the absolute worst photo I've seen on Facebook Marketplace, and that's saying something:

Two fold. Never owned a Quattro so fancy giving one a go. Secondly, if I'm going all in on liability with a TT Mk1, might as well go balls deep with a Quattro! Icing on the cake is that the rear end is multi-link independent on the Quattro versus torsion bar on fwd too.
The problem with the Quattro when searching for one I found that most had no idea what a Haldex is and when the fluid was last changed. It does appear that if neglected, the Haldex diff just goes disconnected though. So you just loose Quattro - better than seizing solid I guess.

Jamie reacted to sdkrc in Shitting in the shallow end. *Bile Hatred* pseudo collection.
As is now widely known, @Jim Bell uses a team of North Korean writers for his collection threads. Here are some photos of the teams at work.
The team do take some artistic licence but the collections are always real, the poo counts are real and the dogs always exist.

Jamie reacted to Dobloseven in E46 325ci M sport. Find a worse one!
Gone! Youngest son came down from Derby, did some temporary insurance and took it away. The 12 quid replacement hose sorted the cutting out and tickover. A light cover had fell off the boot lid, so I stuck that back on with silicon. Polished the cover a bit with T cut and did the headlights while I was at it. Noticed the front numberplate was about to drop off as well, so re did that with Gorilla tape. Lots more work needed, but does drive very nicely now. Sad to see it go, but hopefully he'll improve it at his leisure, and will involve me as well. Road tax is 365 quid and he's hoping to get insurance for around 650 . He's 23 and had a clean licence till he got stopped yesterday on the way back from Wales doing 61mph in what he didn't realise was 40 limit.

Jamie reacted to DavidB in OOF Car related mishaps/injuries
I’ll never forget the time in 2002 when I had run out of petrol going to take my girlfriend to work (in a doughnut factory). I got a fuel can and jumped in my dads green Proton MPi and headed to the petrol station. Retrieving the fuel can from the boot, the boot lid promptly came back down again thanks to knackered boot struts with the latch coming to a stop right on the back of the skull, resulting in a lot of pain/ blood/swearing. I got round to filling my petrol can, i checked my wound but managed to rub petrol into it resulting in more unnecessary pain.
I finally got round to my girlfriends, and to top it off I walked dog poo into her parents hallway carpet! Ugh, what a night.
Regale me with all your car injury hijinx.

What makes me grin?
This. After so long driving RRs, big old Mercs and other auto wafty things, this is such refreshingly good fun.

Similar here in Kernow. Plenty of young bucks trying to be 'Murican.
Same crew seem to like running cars with turbots with dump valves which make the car sound like it's having some sort of major asthma attack. Real cool*.
