Bought a Vax spotwash machine partly for this and partly because Labrador in the house..

Ordered some drill brush attachments but in the meantime I decided to give one of the rear seat bases a quick pass over with just the machine. Not bad for a single going over!

(Patchy as it’s still damp)

 

That's an impressive transformation.  Looked minging before

You should buy @NorfolkNWeigh's BMW and keep the change for any repairs and fuel/insurance

Far from home BSA and rather marvellous old truck/dining area in a French microbrewery restaurant

That's awesome.  What's the name of this place please and where in France?

No disassemble Johnny Five!

What a great collection.  If they'd gone for scrap he'd have been back to haunt someone and rightly so!

Piaggio van failed MOT today on O/S headlamp and 2 front tyres (which I knew were low) with an advisory on the N/S headlamp. Headlamps are made of unobtanium - but I have a pair squirrelled away for just such a contingency. MOT place's tyre suppliers don't now list 155x12 8-ply - no problem, said I, I'll go to my usual tyre place (estd 1925) as I've done for decades: "Sorry, none of our suppliers list that size now". Bollocks. Black circles, here I come - unless someone recommends anywhere else?

Edit: BC only do car tyres in that size, not 8 ply. Found Nankang cw25s on Camskil, £171.40 for 4 delivered. Am happy with Nankang, anyone had problems with Camskill?

I've used them a few times and they've been fine.  Sure I've heard others on here suggest them as well

The insignia is shit.

I disagree. There - i've said it. Mine is very leggy but well maintained. Good on fuel with a reasonable turn of pace. Nimble compared to our Mk IV mondeo which for me is somewhat of a pudding and vastly overrated. At ten years old and 184 k nothing squeaks or rattles - the trim on the side of the seat near the switches has broken because of a trapped seat belt buckle.

Like all cars they have their issues but they certainly will have issues when they are treated as white goods.

This reminds me; not all Vauxhalls are shit

Lancia?

After the TY175, it'll be the E28 on for a "Shite Giveaway"

Damn that BM is nice.  Always fancied one of them.  Will have to have a ticket for that

I'm looking at you here, @Iamgroot !

 

 

Blimey, surely that's less than you could get as scrap!  Wasn't expecting any MOT at that price

That's definitely one for the silly tyre name thread!

Looks like a nice solid P38

It’s a Ghostbusters version ffs! That’s so crap.

Yes, hilariously so.  At least it's original unlike yet another groan inducing yellow TIT version

Makes a nice change to the obligatory yellow TIT version

I’d love to go to this but is it full of bearded wankers walking about giving a running commentary of ‘facts’ to a go-pro? 

No, they don't all have beards!

Seriously though, I've not noticed anything like that

Damn, what are those alloys again? Head's blank after a long day. I fitted a set to my white Cavalier Gsi at one point - they looked so good on it.

Luckily I have more than one account to draw from, and I also visited the cash point yesterday, so it's more than 2 cash machine withdrawals, but less than 3.

Also I once owned a 2007 Mini Cooper, so that should help with the age thing.

Not a Fiat. 

Clue 2. It is very small.

Smart car?

Overdue updates here…

I briefly had a yellow seicento with a leak somewhere and thogguht it’d fixed it, but this was disproven by a major storm and a major footwell puddle.

Moving the vehicle I got a shed lid of water down my neck from the sunroof so it might actually be that leaking, not the windscreen I fixed* with gutter mastic.

anyway it got roffled on New Year’s Day as I was trying to sensible and cut the fleet…

…except…

You're right, it was the sunroof leaking.  It was full of moss and grot which was blocking the drain holes.  After clearing it all out and cleaning the drains it no longer leaks and the interior was soon dried out by a dehumidifier and fan heater.  Really enjoying it.  Nice little car.

Audi looks nice, too btw.

Enjoy!  Nice to meet you.  Good to know the roffle Rover is in safe hands

Don't see many of these nowadays, especially in this condition.  Nice colour, too.  Looks like a bit of a bargain for someone:

Our MD at work (who's pushing 80) is a big Jag fan (he used to race an XJS and a mk1).  His series 3 V12 was in the car park yesterday

Are you stalking me? I've just fell across that in a casual* sweep for 75 Estates - rather eye catching I thought?

Just found this 2003 Jaguar s-type £950

WTAF?!  That is the work of a seriously disturbed individual!
