I drive through a village called Usk every day on my commute.  It is almost obligatory for the residents to have some sort of USK plate.  However I noticed a geordie interloper today in his BMW, Y1 USK.

Spotted this on my morning dog walk. 

Central Newport, near train station.  Seems cheap, could help with storage/collection if any interest. 

A delightfully pogweaseled Civic was parked nearby, and I also saw a giffer driven dark grey/black E reg Mazda 323 hatchback pulling a substantial home-made trailer drive by.  Good times.

If at first you don't succeed, double the price, that's why they call me Terry Tibbs.

Have you got this? My BiL bought it when it was a few months old, only kept it a year.  He may have some photos.  1.6 pez.

I have a pair of the adjusters you weld into the torsion bars if you want to lower the front end a bit.  I never used them and now own a 1303.

I also have various (̶e̶i̶g̶h̶t̶i̶e̶s̶ ̶t̶a̶t̶)̶ engine chrome dress up pieces that were never fitted back in the day.

Gratuitous photo of said, unlowered and pineappled beetle in the Black forest 1991.

Jak has again won area pharmaceutical salesman of the month for the 23rd month running.

£2222 and rerelisted. (I couldn't find the original listing)

I may* regret not going to see this, as it is only half an hour away from me.

Gone already!  Here are the other pictures I saved earlier with a corrugated roof, for your pleasure.

Does this belong here?  £1k , unrecorded with a V5.

Does the cigarette lighter work?

From the description.

Both arches are slightly rusty. Arches can be purchased via eBay for £85 the pair, this hasn’t bothered us in the slightest so haven’t messed around with it. 

So why are you selling it after 8 weeks of ownership?  Admittedly, that is a very long time for certain people in that neck of the woods.

I'm going large with the displacement of an MGF engine and the Shitefest value of the HBoL hidden in the rear footwell, so £1796.

I, along with thousands of other nosy people went to Nick Mason's gaff on the weekend.  He is probably the thread winner for model related plates.

Apologied for pictures, but here are the plates.  250 GTO on a 250 GTO, 250 WMM on a 250 MM, obligatory F40 NPG on an F40 and

XKD 1 on a D type Jaaag amongst others.

@bunglebusSome rare parts there!

This Bugatti owner could benefit from some suspension components.

 

That's what it should look like!

Expensive Top Gear satnav

These must be worth about £20 max as a functional device.

Surely he'd have UVA11U on plastic digit plates, then angle the 1 s together to make a V?

ISTR A111GEL on a big Merc driving around South Wales in the 80s and they did this on the middle 1 to get their surname, Angel.

Bumtree Skoda Roomaster

If not a scam, this could be a bargain.  £111.11 obviously not the correct price, £1111 would still be cheap.

Northern Ireland.  £150pa Tax.

I would contact him myself if I had any sane way of getting it.

I actually took the photos at a show in 2017, but I noticed he had a fresh MOT on it recently.

What is the exact law on welding and suspension components, and does it still need an MOT?

Found this whilst perusing locally available shite on Facebook.  

Royal Mile, Scotch made tyre for Volvos?

On the subject of kit cars, perhaps the burnt out floorpan and engine could be combined with this.

Rear engined rat look Caterham, anybody?

Just found a Spanish shiter #clasicosenlacarretera on youtube and he has some excellent shite videos, including this red 2 litre Ghia which was pretty much exactly how I remember ours with the obvious LHD and yellow fog light differences.

I had forgotten about the LED car graphic on the dashboard that indicated the doors being opened/closed.  IIRC, there was also a snowflake graphic in the middle for when the temperature dropped a bit.

Look out for his Mk1 SEAT Ibiza 1.2 GLX with the lovely alloys.

The Spanish climate is so much more forgiving than ours.

I have subscribed and watch with the subtitles on, and can catch about 10% of what he is talking about with my non existent spanish.

Done a pay. 

In memory of my late father and his first Sierra, a brand new red 2.0 Ghia NFB526Y.  The first car I ever drove and learned the hard way what opposite lock was, three days after passing my test.

Sorry,  probably a bit late, but any Lupos there?
