This has another year's test on it with minor fails fixed* and is now running on a fair % of veg oil. I don't really take pics of it, even though it is very handsome, it just gets driven. It is leaking a bit of oil from the cam seals which I need to address at some point but it is super reliable and comfy to drive. It feels much more secure with good part worns fitted. A quality Swedish-Belgian car with a German engine. -
Rusty VW bothering - the oldest tyres in town?

my 1995 spare was put to good use recently. It is said that tyres age like a fine wine*. -

Suzuki Kizashi? -
Land Rovers have separate chassis which make restoring a rotten one easier.

Volvo 850 TDI, 47MPG with some urban/suburban commuting and a bit of open road. It's alright for what it is.

Are they original or reproduction plates? I like the VAG dealer specific font of the 1980s a lot. What a lovely thing
-
Blanc or rouge?

twatty Dull thread for idiots: all cars broken all the time.

Great thread to be bumped. Any progress with the BMW? The climate and conditions in the Highlands are a real test of rustproofing but it doesn't look that bad, don't E39s rust a bit anyway? -
From the mad era of Mazda when 5 door hatch, 3 door hatch, saloon and estate versions of the 323 shared no body panels with each other.

Are you going to have to change car because of fuel prices?
Lacquer Peel replied to DirtyDaily's topic in AutoShite
Yes that's exactly it. I am fed up of paying high VED but the 850 is quite a fuel efficient car for what it is, plus I have done a fair bit of work to keep it reliable. -

850 miles* to empty in an 850 diesel. I don't think it will do that but I should be able to squeeze 700 or more miles out of the tank. I have been worrying about it costing too much to run but it's not bad really.
