Goodness me I am so sorry to hear this. I hope you can find comfort in the good times you shared together. Thinking of you.

I’ve had this in my watch list for a little while now. It’s been kicking around at the dealers for a while so not sure if it’s just a bag of shit. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373747408256?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=hi7as8h2q5o&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=2OenAfhOTCK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I love its originality, right down to the Whitefield Mercedes number plates (which was round the corner from Grandma Gartside) - scabby door is unfortunate but those 2.0i engines are bulletproof.

Shitehawk - one of the best insults I’ve ever heard. Loving this project by the way, Wheeler Dealers did one the same colour with an unfortunate supremacist-themed number plate. And an unfortunate fat wanker behind the wheel. Interestingly, it has been re-registered as KGY 523V.

I’d love to have a Spitty, it would have to be in the Vermillion colour they did. Class in a glass. Good luck with the collection, your plans for it sound exactly like what I’d do with it too.

Thank you for your continued efforts @Stanky .

Bloody hell Tim, what a find that is! Remarkably straight as well. I can almost hear @dollywobblercursing under his breath.

From what I understand, Michael still lived with his mother at South View and on the afternoon of the rampage, he set the house alight and it was destroyed beyond repair. A new house was built in its place.

Yep, definitely the case with Michael Ryan’s GTE, his mother doted on him and gave him anything he wanted - even if it meant her getting into horrendous debt over it.

@BorniteIdentity do you need a 5-dr? My FIL’s wife is selling her 3-dr RAV4. On a 54-plate and I’m sure it’s got some fancy TRD alloys on it. It’s bloody clean for the year too. Regularly serviced etc. NX54 XNZ if you want to check the MOT history. I can make enquiries if you want?

K535 HHK - build date 15.04.1993, registered 13.05.1993. Incredibly early!

Beat me to it! I spotted this one earlier too on faceache.

Just caught up with this one. Seriously good work going on here. Looking forward to the next installment.

You may well see it’s not on eBay any more. Someone may* have asked for it as a Christmas present…..

That’s incredible. If only the previous owner knew it’s history then it could well still be around today. The Mondeo I mean.

My dad’s old Mondeo could well be in that brochure. Cool! I wonder if it’s either of these two I’ve circled…

Ah that means no more videos from “Oval Banger Videos” on YouTube, that’s a shame. They were good quality viewing. Still, if it’s to protect public safety then I’m of course in favour of the decision. Currently grumpy about the whole situation going on in the world right now. I’m not here to drone on as I’m sure you’re all sick to the back teeth of it. We have two cars in the greengartside household. SWMBO’s car is all well and good but I’m thinking of downsizing mine to get something cheap as chips to buy and run. I’ve been looking at the C1/107/Aygo bracket as they seem to be what is required. I drove an Aygo the other week and it was alright to be fair. Anyone want a Mk2.5 Focus estate in petrol flavour?

One for the list. Have we had this one yet? Somewhere up in Miseryside in the late ‘70’s.

I’d give that Escort cabriolet another go on the road, perfect for the 38 minutes of summer we have in the UK.

Mondeo has already gone I think, no surprise as that looked a cracker.

Hope you get well soon @egg like others have said, having a distraction from things like this such as a car is worth it’s weight in gold.

Ooo that’s worth a trip out…..

It’s not his one, same colour though.
