So I just won that Roadmaster on ebay. Naturally the owner is not the smartest type and already sold the car. Despite over 1000 reviews on ebay he didn't have a clue how to end the auction. 

I reckon he knows and he's being a cowboy. 

£3475 because it photographs well and is hot af

I know where he lives.  When the house is sold, and we've moved out, I will shit on his doorstep.

I drove from Killarney to Killorglin a couple of hours ago which is 12 miles of a national route with a 100kph limit The person in front in a Renault Kangoo Kar insisted on driving at 50-60kph the whole way. Normally there are 6 straights where you can do a quick overtake, but today the opposite side of the road was full of a constant stream of Honda 50s returning from a bike fest.

Haha! I grew up in Killorglin and lived in Killarney. I forgot about the single lane national roads where there are snakes of traffic because of tourists or bizarre locals who think it's safer to drive at half the speed limit. It was always a Yaris causing the traffic back in my days

Does it handle as well as the TS or is the extra engine weight detrimental? 

Id love to fix and rescue cars like you do but I lack the competence or desire to put the effort in and become competent. Great to live vicariously and watch you do it though

Very tired looking bodywork for the £2500 this wonderful trader is asking.

I was convinced that was this low mileage beauty on C&C, obviously not though. Love the look of these, hope you manage to get it

I was skeptical about power steering stop leak but it solved a pinhole leak in the high pressure line on the V90 for a good 6 months. Worth a shot for £11?

Are lexus springs notably awkward to fit? Or are you on the "don't take money from these miscreants" list?

It's an odd one. After it failed the MOT I called 3 garages asking for the springs and wheel bearing to be done. I got messed around by 1 garage, the other 2 refused the work. I guess old Japanese shit in Scotland isn't high up on their wish list. Seating springs though...fuck me, the shocks are already off the car. It's free money guys

Alfa is away to @Schaefft, highly rated purchaser. Apologies for it being shit, that's just a given when I sell a car. 

The Lexus cracked springs have been painful. They're north of 40cm and a couple of attempts with spring compressors hasn't cut the mustard. I took the springs and shocks to a local garage and offered cash to seat them, they said no way...cheers lads. 

Because of the Alfa shitting it's crankshaft I've been using a borrowed car to ferry my kid around. It has no reverse and a screaming wheel bearing so has been stressful to commute into the city.

Decided I needed some wheels so bought a Rexton from @Supernaut. Gave her a bit of a scrub and I'm impressed. Totally fucking bizarre car. Throwing between 1st and 5th gear requires a change in postcode.

I'll be using this for some towing in the near future

28yr old escort from London?

I'm getting the feeling I may have oversold this car...the drone is awful, I thought it was the gearbox at first but then dismissed that. Exhaust sounds plausible but I didn't see anywhere it could be blowing. 

The gearing is mental. There is a 6th gear btw but it's essentially the same as 5th. Long 1st, short 6th. Lolwhut. It makes me want to drive another one that's well sorted to compare.

The interior also looks incredible but only in photos. It's the car you wouldn't want to meet on tinder.

Very odd damage!  It's even got MOT to September.  I have a set of doors, and connaught green goes well with flame red doesn't it?!  Watchlisted...

That's what happens when you leave both doors open and forget to put the handbrake on

That's got the dynamic handling pack. Allegedly desirable but I'm not a fan. 

Isn't the car cave the Scottish dealership run by a total scumbag? Plenty of dodgy stories from the owner if that's the same one. 

Lovely car
