    Did you kick the back doors in after you cleaned it and binned the wheeltrims?

    Fancy a swap for this?
     

     
    It's not as good* as it looks in the picture.
    Once you bring it home, your wife will see the error of her ways, and will* demand you go and bring the gold one home again.
    HTH

    My helpful* tip is: Man up!!! Why is it such a massive crime for you to have a car that you like (that costs less than a weeks wages)? Seems a great shame to me.

    It's OK, I can patch up the existing bumper with fibreglass. It doesn't even look bad as it is tbh.

    LTs don't do high speed...

    Saw a policeman taking pics of my Forester whilst parked outside Pets at home today, Pensively approached and asked if there was a problem,
     
    'No sir, this was my dads old car from new' just taking a few pics for him'

    One of many, but all a very long time ago now, there's just no rozzers left out on the roads.
     
    Leaving a 30mph limit, came up behind a slow moving car and overtook it. (I'd seen the copper waiting to join the road at the cross hatched junction).
    Off like the proverbial hare, in the 944. Saw the police car in my mirrors pull out behind me & give it the beans. Continued over a roundabout, copper gradually catching up with me. Slowed, turned right into the industrial units I was heading for. Rozzer in behind me, flash of the blues and we both got out.
    He wanted to do me for entering a cross hatched area, I suggested that he check the Highway code - broken line surrounding them OK - solid line not OK.
    Are you sure? says he. Absolutely. Well I'm going to do you for going faster than 60 mph - What? when I could see you following me? - You'd struggle to prove that.
    OK I'm going to do you for your badly spaced number plate - B10 NFC - which reads - BIONIC
    Does me a 'inspected' effort, I nipped into the unit - removed plates, velcroed on correct plates from boot - had the form stamped -replaced dodgy plates and on my way - I am bad.

    I got done for speeding in the Montego; not proud of it, but I was over the speed limit and I should have known better. The two guys were actually brand new.
     
    One asked me if I had any questions.
     
    "Aye, how many Montegos have you stopped today?"
     
    After he finished laughing he spent five minutes telling me about his first car, a Maestro diesel van which left him with hearing problems. Then his colleague piped up...
     
    "See that?", pointing to a chunk missing from his left ear. "About 15 years ago I had just finished my first boy racer Nova and I was involved in a pileup on the M8 at Arkleston. That missing bit was claimed by the red Montego that ran up my arse, the front grille of which detached, came through the back window and left through the windscreen. Haven't seen one since until now, you're lucky I'm not booking you for post traumatic stress disorder."

    Dont bother to polish the oxidised paint - just lob a can of Nitromors at it and leave it out in the rain, then eBay it and clean up.

    Not the MX-5 is lethal, cheap tires put on by skinflints are! 
     
    Those Nankang/LongLing etc. are new horrible when its wet and when they get older (one year is enough), they get worse.

    For me, that's a lot of the appeal of an MX5. My two oldest daughters both had Mx5 s as their first proper car at 18/19 when they'd got some NCB. The lack of grip in even damp conditions was great for teaching them about car control, so much so a couple of years ago when it snowed I got a call from my brother saying he'd seen me on a roundabout in the e30 ' being a drift twat ' . It wasn't me ,it was my eldest- I was so proud- my work as a parent is done.

    barefoot reacted to JohnK in 1991 Volvo 440 GLEi - scrap fodder   
    Pretty much mid way stop - time for a pee, bag of crisps, a coffee and to double check everything to make sure it's ok. I know the brakes are good. Some clown pulled straight out of a lay-by on the A1M, so it went from 70 to 10 fairly rapidly.
     
    Just look at it!
     

     
    Wings are shite. I'm thinking I might just paint the whole car in the bottle green marine paint I've got at home ...
     

     
    1991 style cup holder is effective though:
     

     
    This cars gets the JohnK 'no tassels required ... Touch fucking wood' approval..
