  1. This is what usually happens when you just say yes to whatever ridiculous offer these twats make.
  2. These looked awful on this, I can't think of a car they would look good on. I removed them straight away. Still have them on a shelf somewhere...
  3. Look at the head on that! Also spewing steam from the oil breather. Still seems to be running ok.
  4. This is happening on Sunday if anyone's interested, going to try arranging the parking into sections as above.
  5. It might be ok, the guy I sold it to never bled it when he changed the thermostat so maybe if I get it flushed out and bled correctly it'll be fine.
  6. Nice little run on the old smokers this afternoon.
  7. Already lowered the clip on the needle, throttle response seemed better but still needs choke to run best.
  8. Maiden voyage on the v80 didn't go well, started dying a few miles from home and wouldn't rev past quarter throttle. Discovered exhaust was blocked full of carbon so chopped it open, removed the internals and welded it back together. Seemed to sort it out but was bloody loud so shortened it some more and welded a kdx200 silencer onto it. It runs far better than it should do and managed heady speeds of 45mph. I know 2 stroke expansion pipes are supposed to be designed a specific way but chopping and guessing seems to have done the job. Definitely needs to go up a jet size as it now runs best with the choke engaged.
  9. Scabby old E36 for under £1k? Why not!
  10. I heard that there might be a couple of small units going in my yard if anyone is looking for something in Fife, they are big enough to store a couple of cars inside with space to work on them but have very little outside parking. I think the rent is around £250 a month.
  11. We had a race Vision vs V80 vs CZ
  12. I have absolutely no interest in buying it other than to save it from the scrapyard and to flog it on.
  13. The main issue is I'm never in a position of desperately needing the car away so I can choose to amuse myself replying to these chancers. I'm sure everyone else encounters the same amount of these people when selling stuff but might not want to come across as an arrogant tosser on a public forum so they choose not to post their conversations on here.
  14. Ah fair enough, choose to discriminate by judging the type of person they are rather than their name. Anyone who thought they were Sherlock fucking Holmes, asking daft questions and doing top detective work would be told to fuck right off.
  15. It's great to see other people also discriminate against potential buyers by looking at their profile. You just know that the majority of people with foreign looking names are going to start with the best price crap.
  16. A silver 1999 Mondeo has appeared in my yard, MOT October, running and driving. It has the 2.5 V6 with auto gearbox and black leather interior. The painter next to me asked if I wanted it, it belongs to an elderly gentleman who recently bought a Honda Jazz, I think the Mondeo has been in his family since new. I was told that they were open to offers and had been offered £350 from the scrapyard, I said I'd give £400 to save it from the scrapyard but I didn't desperately need or want it. I know fuck all about them to be honest, anyone have experience? Worth buying or run away quickly? Photos not of actual car...
