  1. Can't sleep because reasons.

    On YouTube and up pops some idiot with a channel just scratching scratch cards. How is this a thing.?

    Trying to justify spending £30 a day on gambling I guess. No idea why it's on my YouTube.

    That was £750? I've never had a cabrio...

    Yes. In fairness they are fairly cheap. £1500-£2000 would get a really nice one.

    I budgeted to put £500 into it, the car didn't need this but I chose fairly cheap little bits to sort to my liking.

    The wheel cost would be offset by selling the originals.

    I normally am happy to run a car on £100 to £200 pcm PCP budget basis on each car I have.

    Take this car for £750 plus £250 (=1000)for a few bits minus £200 for the wheels that were on it, that equals £800.

    Then take 300 scrap value? and deduct that, it costs £500 then divide by the 4 month's = 125 pcm pcp

    It's basically purchase price + all other costs excluding tax and insurance. Then deduct scrap value and divide it by how many months I use it. If it's under £200 per month, I'm happy.

    Looks good, the pics even make Donny look desirable*.

    It's my regular photo taking spot.  Edit. For car sales photos that is, I'm not a ****ing weirdo

    Don't ask what's behind that wall.😄 Car was near the red circle.

    I have happy memories of my granddad's Invacar and feel this sort of smut is inappropriate here.

    Then, to paraphrase, this 'probably isn't the forum for you'. 😂

    So what you're basically saying is it's not your cup of tea @cupoftea?

    Looks nice.

    Those wheels though - fucking gopping.

    I hope they went to the recyclers.

    Er...no. I'm asking for actual money for them🤣

    You've no idea how many positive comments I've had about them in the real world 😲 Everyone on here hates them though😄

    In fairness I've checked with my wheel place and it's £1.30 per kg in scrap. I have a few bmw wheels to sack off there.

    Ps #don'ttellDave 🤫

  6. To do list.

    Sort an oil leak

    Polish headlights

    MOT at some point

     

     

    Maybe.

    Change cd player for dab?

    Tidy front wings a bit.

    Rear number plate bulb not working near side, (bulb is fine)

    Possibly adjust driver front window.

    Maybe sort arse warmers in front.

    Replace arm rest

    Replace window frame strip at outer top.

     

     

    Definitely not.

    Any bodywork.

     

    Other things I've done, removed black electrical tape from eml on clock, no codes or fault, it now comes on and off like it should.

    Put a new key fob button pad.

    Sorted a fog light bulb on the right side (car told me it was left side)

    And that's it. Then I'll park it next to my colleagues Audi's that they pay £600 a month for😄. Drives quite nicely, bit boring but fairly comfy.

    Looking forward to the next four months then it maybe for sale with a link to this thread.

     

  7. Just fitted the wheels today. £120 from Leeds and I've put a replacement part worn on the spare £47 for a good ride 235/45/17.

    Decent enough condition and they are from the facelift b7 and seem to suit it.

    A good bunch of lads sorted the cleaning duties for £7, apparently "just take it steady with the roof/window etc" translates to blast the **** out of it and soak the occupant (not really).

    Looks how sexy it now looks.

  8. I decide as it was only temporary not to go mad with it but then I went on eBay.

    The glovebox latch was locked shut (tadts) £30 and 15 minutes sorted my urgent gloves storing issue.

    A climate control module was replaced due to a couple of slightly busted buttons £35

    I regassed the Aircon m9's, which for the first time in existence of those words actually appeared to work. DIY job with a can I already had. Let's hope it retains it 🤞

    Now a "normal person" would probably stop there but the wheels...the wheels man. I couldn't handle it so replacements were sought and it needed* Audi bolts.

  9. Cheapo A4? Well yeah £750 is cheap in my eyes.

    Temporary? Well it always would be, I've come from an estate, perfect dog transport to something completely unsuitable. (MOT until 5th May)

    But....750 quid, so it was bought.

    No collection thread but it went like this. Train from my local station into Leeds, an hour to change then onto my top secret location.

    Picked up by the shitter owner 👍 and did the deal.

    So what does £750 get you?

    Years ago I found a torch under the bonnet of my Rover 100 when checking the fluids.  I was quite pleased at first, until I remembered it was the same torch I'd left under there when topping up the brake fluid in fading light a couple of weeks earlier...

    Same thing happened to a fitter who was working on my faulty tail lift.

    Broke down for same fault a week apart and same fitter comes out and finds it still attached to the frame via worlds strongest magnet.

    Sun online “news”.

    Internet riddle only those with high IQs can solve.

    I buy a cow for £800 and sell it for £1000.

    I then buy it back for £1100 and then sell it again for £1300.

    How much have I made?

    I can’t see what’s difficult and to me it’s primary school maths, but people were coming up with many wrong answers, guessing or just saying it was too hard, apparently.

    What does anyone else think and what do you think the answer is?

    Why are we all buying cows now? Nevermind I'll take 2 randoms even though I've no need or want or space and collection would be tricky on the train.

    I've got the sister website set up....Cow shite.
