Dead mouse in meal at Hollies truckstop....

[chaseracer]

I do live in Cannock.  Oddly enough, the Chronic-le dropped through my letterbox an hour or so ago.

 

It's still shit.

 

[Pillock]

Bad news. The MG has sold.

Bad as in Game Winningly Good.

It's ok, all the mice at Hollies will have had heart attacks by now.

[sporty-shite]

Don't think I'll make it tomorrow. Sorry.

 

I'll keep an eye on the thread though, and hopefully get down for another.

[Pillock]

I'm not coming....

[dollywobbler]

By heck it's a good job I didn't make it. Less than £200 for a Volvo 850 dizzler?

[andy18s]

Is that a ST200 or just the skirts added on, can't see the boot spoiler.

Like the chap on the phone to his wife behind, "but its a bargain only £275.........................

This was me last time we attended,as a 2000yr disco td5 went through for 1500......

[Inspector Morose]

By heck it's a good job I didn't make it. Less than £200 for a Volvo 850 dizzler?

Rougher than. It wouldn't make Scotland.

 

Regrets for today went to the £300 multipla diesel. Bit of a rough old bus but all there and sounded fine and a late espace that fetched £1500 ish but any car with the heater controls in the door cards have to be worth it surely?

 

Regretting the cholesterol burger though. Well parts of me are, anyway.

[Pillock]

The roof on the 850 wasn't dented. This is notable only really because every other panel was.

 

Mrs_P keeps making regretful noises about the Odyssey. I've reminded her we have a 7 seater and it does more than 23mpg but I think she really liked it.

[Inspector Morose]

But it was spectacularly good value in the same way that that TF wasn't.

[Sloth in a bowl]

[Pillock]

Proton Gen2 looked tatty enough that I didn't realise it was only 8 years old before slapping it on the sheet. Thankfully between stingy buyers, and it being a terrible car, it only made £325. For an oh-six. Blimey.

[fred]

Feck me been years since Ive been there, I need to go again

[Inspector Morose]

Yay! Chaseracer is last! Balance is restored.

[RichardK]

I feel like I should go to this when I'm back from the land of Chryslers and hipsters.

 

I feel like it would end Very Badly. All it would take is one tempting CLK 430 and I'd be living of value beans and stale bread for a month.

[twosmoke300]

I can't believe no one has bought anything yet . Bunch of girls !
