For sale: Value Family Fayre!

[Father Ted]

agree with the kangoo/cit/pug comments,what about a fiat doblo,biased i know! sorry !

Totally cock on there - they have produced the cheapest (new) 7 seater going and I cant believe Citroen / Pug have not followed suit with the new Blingo/Partner vans and shoved a removable 3rd row of seats in the boot.

 

So, if you are not off for the snip just yet young master Pog, perhaps have a look at the 7 seat Doblo van?

The shite alternative:

Is that cordobra beige on the ford

[Albert Ross]

No............looks lots like Tuscan Beige to me. Had a R plate Mk2 Escort 1100, a V plate Granada 2.3 GL manual, and a W plate Cortina 2.0 GL Estate in that colour................. NOT all at the same time!

[andrew e]

The perfect Pog-mobile!

Can you name another car in the last 15 years that didn't require its advert to be changed other than the soundtrack from its intro to the end? I don't think so.

I'm being obtuse here I think, but what is this getting at?

[MrRegieRitmo]

I did a 'how to' on stopping the CD player skipping.

Does that work on all CD players that skip & freeze? If so do tell pretty please!

Riiiiight, to go way back to the original topic in hand.... would anyone here like 'dibs' on our Focus prior to it going on eBay (urgh) tomorrow night?We are all Picasso'd-up, so it's got to go.

A lot of cars have new adverts filmed over the model's lifetime to rekindle interest or boost sales. The Xsara Picasso had the same one with different soundtracks from start of its life until the end, indicating that there was either no money in the pot to re-shoot it, or there was no need to change it because sales were strong.It's only my opinion!

OIC that makes sense to me now! Sorry for questioning it, I just couldn't picture what you meant but now I can.

This makes me chuckle - I like how this thread was supposed to be about Pog offering round his Focus to folk on here but instead became a big debate on whether he should indeed get a Picasso (which AFAIK had already been decided) or if not what else instead!

'Tis the season to be offering fine family fayre on eBay, VIZ:

[pogweasel]

Ooooh, sparkly photos. Bet yours will sell well quick. I'll just get the usual mongs offering me £20, a clapped-out mondeo and a methadone prescription in part-ex.

[r.welfare]

"Sparkly" photos - don't you mean, fuzzy, almost-got-Parkinson's-really-need-to-buy-a-tripod photos? Hopefully the inclusion of a photo of the radio tuned to R2 will "get" the right kind of buyer...I haven't even polished it yet (weather dodgy today) but it still scrubs up well. This despite the fact t'wife has literally lived in it for business over the past 3 years (evidenced by loads of Hula Hoops under the seats etc, urgh - thankfully they yielded to Dyson Powa).Hopefully it will sell fast - but not too fast; still got 2.5 weeks until baby is due, and she refuses to drive the Accord. It's priced at just over Glass's "excellent" P/X value, so we'll see. Little cracker - sorry to see it go.

[Milford Cubicle]

Very good eBay skills there!

[pogweasel]

Wellllllll, might be 'unavailable' again now. Looks like this trusty sprogdiesel wagon is staying in the family... going to live with the in-laws, as they have expressed an interest. My father-in-law is particularly keen as he cannot drive their current car as it has no PAS and he has arthritic elbows. So we will get in exchange their car which used to be our car... indeed, the much-loathed (by me) Vauxhall Corsa 1.0. I'll get that bayed off ASAP (maybe wang on some lexus lights & halfords 'spinna trimz' to get the 17-year-old min-wage interest up )
