  1. I've driven a few of these. Most of them not exactly memorable but loved the Sharan 2.8 VR6 one I drove. It was black, quite a base-spec from what I remember but with a big engine that sounded amazing.
  2. I'm gonna have to try and recreate this pic as my Jag is a similar colour to that beautiful S1 Daimler. And although I may have similar coloured trousers, not sure I've got a red shirt. And my beard is now off seeing as it went mostly white recently.
  3. Late but not latest I've ever seen. The overlap between the 800 and 75 was around the 1998/1999 T-reg. There were a few very late registered 800s such as these V-reg ones below:
  4. Got tagged here so thought I should do one of these to help remind me what I've got in my fleet: In: Temporarily in: Out: It got too rusty. KV6 engine still kept going though. Stopped running properly in Summer 5 days before my holiday rendering me having to use the roffle-win Micra K11 to go abroad. Mechanic didn't properly diagnose the problem, tried to chuck some parts at it and it never ran right, so I couldn't be arsed anymore and got rid. Non movers: Technically this lot did get moved, but only towards some rented garages after outage from old unit
  5. Nice job. A tip for getting rubber floor mats looking good again is to clean them throughly and then apply black shoe polish with a normal soft shoe polishing brush, that's how to keep mine looking nice after a clean as rubber mats and tyres cldo seem to pick up discolouration stains from long term standing dirt/water and no matter how much you clean them, they always look dirty and horrible.
  6. Honestly, a couple of months back I'd have gone for it when my Peugeot gave up it's own car duty credentials. It would have been perfect to take to Belgium with me, a nice large everyday cruiser, but one week before would have been very difficult to sort. I've now got myself into another British luxo barge which I need to actually concentrate on and get into a better order.
  7. Suburban roadman. A sort of similar type of variation of the "Trustafarian". The suburban roadman will dress and act as if they are from the downtrodden inner city yet they are in fact from more affluent areas and come from affluent families. At first, they'll be driving some sort of Mum and Dad financed Fiesta ST, then later, they'll move onto a slightly older German marque car such as a Mercedes C-class or a BMW 3 series. They'll make their cars sound like rally cars or have a turbo whine sound or "whoosh" gear changing sound, windows will invariably be illegally tinted to give the look of being as suspicious as possible.
  8. Food stock delivery driver (for restaurants/eating places) Invariably drives a utterly battered and very grubby white Mercedes Sprinter LWB with a smashed passenger mirror casing held together by brown tape. Interior is as grubby as the outside. Drives quite slowly as despite having delivered there hundreds of times before, still forgets where to go and parks up generally in the middle of the road. Has no qualms in scraping the van against posts/fences/walls in narrower places so long as the stock is delivered. Back doors are covered in rust stains.
  9. Nope, absolutely nail on the head there. Tesla owners love to tell people that they own a Tesla casually ramming it like a square peg into a round hole into a conversation that has nothing to do with cars or environment, in fact, some even go as far as going to a cheap local newspaper to pretend they had some problem with charging their car or other just to raise the attention bar thus guaranteeing that mkst people in their local town will know they drive a Tesla. Tesla drivers DO NOT like it when you pass them. They'll happily bimble blissfully in the middle lane until they see a "lesser" car overtake them on the outside lane and proceed to race you dangerously to stay in front thus keeping the pecking order in order.
  10. I'm in Brussels otherwise I might have been tempted. Given the way the bastard Peugeot has let me down, I could do with my own back-up car to take abroad.
