... what is the world coming to - I got hell when a BX just turned up at home one day and then I show my wife this on ebay and she presses the buy it now button!!

she won't get bored with it - she loved the last ones she had!

 

It wasn't too dear for one of these with nearly a full MoT - am on the lookout for a door now plus between Christmas and New Year I'll (if nothing else) sort out the few slightly rusty bits and prime them.

[scooters]

oh dear -

 

well at least they hold their value!

 

and think ! this means that you have at least one 11pm-ebay-saturdaynight-bottleandahalfofclaret-oopsjustboughtamaxi voucher!

I really got hell for the BX - this time, she just said - yep, I'll buy that!

 

They're fun wee things and my experience of three is that the HGs don't fail every time you take them out.

 

Looking forward to getting it and tarting it up!

.....yes dear.....

lol - just like the pic in your sig.

It does bring the tat buying to an end - seven t&t vehicles is enough for anyone.

what you really need is 2 homes - preferrably with 300 odd miles between them and one which Mrs MS NEVER visits unless with serious notice...

 

I found that once I hit my 40's Mrs S was quite happy to turn a BLIND EYE to the CHOD BUYING SHENNANIGANS provided they happened at my digs in Hertfordshire and not outside the Villa De Scooter - you see, compared to what some fellas get up to - gambling, drink, women etc....a Chod problem is really quite low key...well, that's what I keep telling myself.

 

Having said that, since the digs in Harpenden have gone and the CHOD BUDGET is now at the level of a Eurozone country's (or ours for that matter) economic growth forecast I have noticed that the application of the CHOD CUFFS have been far more readily applied by Mrs S who, rather than rolling her eyes when I announce that 'it's about time we had a Tagora parked outside' I get a rather pointed look..the sort of look that Stalin would give one of his henchmen before he dissapears and is airbrushed out of photos etc..

 

BTW I have changed my autosig in solidarity!

[messerschmitt owner]

lol - three cars are at my mum's

 

berkeley B95

Mochet

NSU Prinz special

 

that's 350 miles away!

 

Main problem is running out of parking space in the drive!

you need to take a leaf out of Nige's book - all his neighbours actually think that his village is in a portal that takes you to a rural town in northern Italy sometime around 1975

[messerschmitt owner]

she has just laughed out loud at Rich's Laurel and Hardy pic!!

 

She also says she got £10 cash back on the purchase by going via topcashback.co.uk and that she gets a bung if she recommends a friend and is now looking for shiters to contact her so she can get them sent invites ...

 

She needs 75 of you to join via her so she can pay for the car in cashback!

 

I think she's serious!!!!

[RENOMAD]

I wish I had a wife like that

[messerschmitt owner]

I wish I had a wife like that

not the day the BX arrived on the driveway at 5am! I got hell that day!

[nigel bickle]

Certainly a portal Rich, not certain if its 1975 though,

 

Here's the latest rarity -delivered yesterday:-

 

 

£148 from Runcorn to the south coast. Good old Shiply!!

what is that up the street - on the left

[nigel bickle]

[messerschmitt owner]

ooh - I like that!

[nigel bickle]

Lots more daftness like that in the stable!!

[messerschmitt owner]

I've only four French cars, two Cits, Mochet and smart!

 

I've a thing for the Renault 4cv, Dauphine and Caravelle! The 50s-60s Renaults were great.

[nigel bickle]

As many will tell you -I've more cars than can ever make sense.

 

If we just pick Renaults:- Fregate, Colorale, Caravelle, Estafette, Fuego (3) 4, 5 (2), 8,10,12(3),14,15,16,17,18(5),21T,25(2). prob forgotten a few too. Madness

[AeroNautiCal]

That wee Fiat is the Bis!

 

Best, unmodified one I've seen, really lovely.

[michiel]

Good buys all round - what year is that Bluebird Nigel?

[hairnet]

info on the bluebird

 

nige youre mad

[nigel bickle]

E plate (88) 4 door Pllarless U11. SSS turbo auto.Only one in the Uk, I believe.

 

Needs a damn good service & a brake free off, exhaust blow & an MOT -then its straight onto the road. Nobbled back means I need an auto -in the short term.

 

A rare beastie

[Pete-M]

126s are ace. I learned the basics of how to drive in 126s, then minis (Floor mounted starter FTW.) before moving on to an 86" diesel Landy.

 

I would love to have a go in a 126.

[messerschmitt owner]

Pete

 

if you're dropping hints - you can pop in next time you're in Gloucester and have a shot!

 

Kettle always on, a mixed fleet you can drive from the sublime to the ridiculous!

 

I know you have a trader policy so no issues with insurance for the day.

[M'coli]

This looks ace!

 

My third car was an aircooled FSM 126, I learnt so much from keeping it going. I went bloody miles and miles in it and only managed to spin it once, luckily without hitting anything but unluckily and unknowingly in front of a group of lasses that I knew - are the Bis any less likely to spin?

Damn, I was in Cheltenham twice this week I shall take you up on this next time I'm around that way. Nice one.

[messerschmitt owner]

The Bis is as likely to spin - lol

 

Pete - I am normally home by 3.45 every weekday!

 

The Bis won't be taxed till January 3, but you are welcome anytime - PM for directions and phone number.

 

We're five mins off 11 or 11a on the M5.
