  1. That's come down a bit, he was advertising it for £1900 on facebook last week.
  2. Good spot, turns out I sort of know the chap selling it (farmer in the next village). Might have to go have a nosey.
  3. fantastic things the Shannon's, do 40+knots and like a bloody spaceship inside. Mate of mine just finished his final exam to be the chief mechanic on the one here when it comes in a couple of months.
  4. I'll happily clean fish, the worst for me is the smell that comes out of you after you've dressed any amount of game birds. Pheasant, partidge, even well mature turkeys. The smell gets through your skin and into your system, after that every fart stinks of rotting bird guts. I avoid it at all costs these days.
  5. I was a serial Land Rover licker for too long, my wall of shame is... 1 x siii 2.25 petrol 2 x 200tdi Disco's 3 x 300tdi Disco's 4 x RRC V8's It's an addiction that's still inside me but with regular meetings and some strong pills I've kept it at bay for a few years. Considering the way prices have gone in recent times that list should probably go in the "scrapped a cosworth" thread. *goes to browse ebay immediately*
  6. Received this letter today stating that my Honda won't be ulez compliant come October 25th. but I don't live anywhere near London or go anywhere near it. Had the car over 18 months and I'm sure the previous owner didn't go there either. Anyone had this? It's not asking for money or anything and it's return address is a dvla postcode in Swansea. All a bit fishy to me. 🤔
  7. One of the reasons I don't comment very often anymore. All a bit tedious.
  8. He's got a youtoob channel too..... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEjBDKfrqQI4TgzT9YLNT8g
  9. Well done for getting it back in. I've done a couple of those in the past and it can be a massive ballache but rewarding. I opted for the easy way to recover them by cleaning off all the old material, glue and shit, then spray painting them charcoal grey.
  10. I'd love to stealth camper something like this, although I'd like a tad more than the 75hp this had from the factory. What are / were the external power sockets for?
  11. I've driven a couple of these , I'm 6'1" and also not anorexic and fit quite comfortably in them. Wouldn't be my vehicle of choice for cross country runs but that's more down to engine size and gearing than interior space. I'd prefer the 1.3 just for extra powah but the 1.0 will get you about nicely. Nice Starlets btw. About 7 or 8 years ago I bought my ex MiL a 1996 1.3 Starlet auto, 40k miles and a years mot for £400 iirc and I loved hooning around town in that. An auto one would certainly be my daily if I lived in a city, it bloody flew from a standing start up to about 40 and you could sling it round corners for fun.
  12. Took the Honda for an mot this morning and failed on an upper wishbone ball joint and a sticky handbrake mechanism. Those bloody Honda handbrakes are useless and need fettling constantly. On a positive a whole new wishbone is only £20 so that's a win and there was this in the garage to have a little poke around...... I haven't seen a kallista since I was a kid. This one has been in storage for 10+ years and is in the garage for recommissioning. Still not sure whether I like them or not but I reckon it'd be a bit of fun with the v6 Cologne.
  13. We need to compare the vans. Are you about on Sunday if I took a spin over?
