Dollywobbler's Daihatsu - MOT of fail

[Grundig]

Bugger. Too late to save the Ambassador. It was scrapped last month. That's rather sad. He scrapped all of his parts stash too due to lack of interest. Apparently, he did put it on Ebay but I must have missed that.

Sad news - although a non runner, I still think it would have had a few years left in it

does this not fit the bill

Too sensible?

 

I can confirm they are a hoot to drive, very light steering and a highly thrashable engine for moderate to good progress.

[dollywobbler]

Wow. Hadn't realised later Pandas were getting that cheap. Very light steering not necessarily a sale point for me though, and Mrs Wobbler positively hates PAS. I've occasionally see her throw handbags at people driving cars with light steering. Oh yes.

[trigger]

Makes me wonder why I've spent the same money on a old Triumph when I could have bought that Panda and had something that would be able to take me to work in the morning and saved my ear getting bent by the wife!

The PAS probably will fail at some point though - it's electrically assisted - I think it's been on watchdog 

[dollywobbler]

A train journey has been booked. A car insurance quote has been obtained and requires only a phone call to put in place. Yet a car has not yet been purchased. Will I be coming home on the train? Or will I be driving home in a car which features in this thread? Prace bets now!

[vulgalour]

I'm going to put my money* on Doom Blue Cortina.

[Junkman]

Ten Pence on Ami.

[cort16]

Yip, it's got to be the Onslow Cortina.

[hairnet]

t reg cuore and as hes eyed up the train its not sadly the cityrover (what happened wid dat?)

[rml2345]

Cityrover was declared too Autoshite even for Autoshite was it not?

I reckon it's that 205 GT...

 

Edit: Just read the tat thread. It's not the 205...

Ami?

[dollywobbler]

You can all be kept in suspense for now. I'm currently plotting the collection thread, and I've still not agreed to actually buy it yet! If I don't buy it though, I run the risk of the being late for a gathering of people at our house that I'd managed to forget about...

[hairnet]

no the tina cos didnt he say small

[chaseracer]

...Mrs Wobbler positively hates PAS. I've occasionally see her throw handbags at people driving cars with light steering. Oh yes.

DrRach owns a HANDBAG...?

[inconsistant]

OOh I hope it's one of the Chinquimquichinchiquenchios. Maybe the yellow one and the drivers door of the red one?

[vulgalour]

There was a hint on DW's blog about it being from a manufacturer that is extinct.  Bitter are extinct, aren't they?  That red one in the tat thread would be a stupid purchase.  I hope it's that.

[Captain Slow]

Bitter are extinct, aren't they?

Nope!

[dollywobbler]

I see your flowery Nippa and raise you this.

 

Remember this? Well, I paid £370 for it earlier and now it's mine.

 

More to follow!

[Junkman]

That looks rather daft, well done!

Pretty newfangled though. I hope it doesn't pop a transistor on the way home.

[dollywobbler]

Actually, the digital clock did briefly stop working. Can I get a refund?

[skattrd]

An early Sirion, well done that man.

I've not driven one with that engine, so can't comment on it, but if the others are anything to by it should be quite nippy and handle well.

[cort16]

That makes buying a mercedes miles from home that you know doesn't run properly look like a sensible move.

First stop, 8 litres of whiteboard cleaner. I do like Sirions though.

[vulgalour]

My mind actually just boggled.  I do like these, maybe not with such distinctive artistic additions, but I do like the way they usually look.  I imagine the person you bought it from was a character.
