There was an estate round this way on FB in the summer in that colour - first I’d seen and I thought it a custom job. Now I know better- maybe @grizz could use it to match the 206?

Shite Nite Tonite @ Leominster Car Auctions 1993 Pug, 36K from new, FSH, been stood up a couple of years. Probate sale. Not a lot of other shite - Rover 75, 1998 BMW 318 convertible and a JDM Lexus LS460 appeal to me - rest is modern(ish) stuff

Whoppee fuckin' do Woke up thinking 'Yay - new R50 radiator arrives today, it's not raining, grrrreat' Then realised that I've send the radiator mounting bushes back (still attached) to the defective radiator that went yesterday. FFS.

Maybe somebody that upset him makes up part of the 100kg payload? Cunning plan - by the time it melts and Taggart gets called in, he's miles away (plus. no fingerprints.......)

Cars here have stayed fairly low but the horse wagon has just been renewed at a 40% increase. Other brokers on that were quoting almost a 60% increase. No idea why that's a thing.

Yes - you don't often see the likes of this mentioned: Watching the listing

My dad had a neighbour who owned one of those in that exact same colour as a 'posh' company car. I always rather coveted it until the guy sent it back a year early as he hated it - told us that it was an unreliable dog of a car. He got an Audi Quattro instead.

Is that the AWD SportWagon (or whatever they called it)?

With early Slat Armour roof? Cool.

Oeuf, oeuf! Shirley?

Beats my Ovlov 940 by 1.0 exactly

Today’s Mini Adventure here….. did you know that if you tighten up the thermostat housing bolts on an R50 with a breaker bar you can: 1. Make round holes oval 2. Crack shit 3. Help blow the rad Done some spannering and a smol Italian tune up would suggest that we have a result. EML is off and no overheating. 👍 Just a small drip of coolant front right - hoping it’s me not clipping bottom hose on right -else it’s the new rad or the water pump 😠

750 kg tow weight on a Bini and I have just stuck new rear shocks on my wife’s R55 and looking at the arse end of the car, I would not fit a tow bar to one

I was admiring the roof rack until you mentioned the seats - are they original Volvo?

Plod have done a Tweet (or whatever they call shite on X these days - I no longer keep up) and the Beeb have hoovered it up 'cos it has a nice picture. Unfortunately, whoever typed up the copy at the Beeb does not know their arse from their elbow about where the bonnet and boot are in a Smart car. Twitter/X/social media is an easy carcass for the media vultures to pick over - our local media outlets only seem to carry such rubbish (saves the hacks' shoe leather I guess). The Beeb is going down that path more and more - very little analysis in their 'news' stories and more of a tabloid feel as time marches on. My last place of work would have us Tweeting a lot to publicise stuff - I always felt it was a bit like screaming into an abyss - but, hey, if the Beeb are trawling who knows? Fifteen seconds of fame may beckon. Gawd - I really have my cynical head on this morning.

Ace! Next time I'm over in Daventry (be 2024 now) we can take the circuitous route home and pick up something beige.

It is rather different* but the price?

The guy pinged me back just after 2pm to say he'd definitely sold it (which was decent of him). I reckon you chanced on the ad as he was changing the moniker?

Looks like its provisionally sold - marked 'Pending'?

Lovely, frosty, sunny morning and friend of my wife's says a big 'Thank You' to the AS Collective: Flogging her car to get some new SUV, Fugly thing and followed the advice on here as regards WBAC etc as she wanted to get more shekels than the garage was offering on part-ex but didn't fancy selling private. Sold it last week through Motorway - £3,000 more than the p/ex offer. Car has gone, she has the dosh. Happy days.

I know where his cache is stashed - muwhahaha. Rather liked the Ford myself - the other one there was smol, blue, Asiatic summat. No Dollies

Living in the arse end of nowhere as a kid I don't even think I saw one of these. I do remember a couple of four doors and (I think) a TV ad for the them as the 'Datsun Violet'? My wife says she would buy this.
