New POD Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Hi, I followed a link from pistonheads, so I thought I should say hi. My previous car history has included a lot of shite, but recently I seem to have 'veered' off course, perhaps midlife crisis ? Previous cars include : Fiat 126mk2 fiesta 1.1 car derived van with rear side windowsFlying zitvarious mini's (850, clubman, 1000, mayfair)Metro 1275 sport and mg TurdoMk2 Cavalier CDI auto (£6.64), 1.8 Sri (£40), calibre (£1400)Mk3 Astra's - I wrote off all 3 in accidents that were totally my fault51 reg Volvo S40 sport 1.8 VVT costing £350....Sold with broken gearbox and rattling VVT top end for £350B reg Polo which was shite beyond shiteAx 1.4 D - with GT wheels. 11 years ago, I was achieving 45 mpg thrashing it at max on a 55 mile each way commute. It was horrible and slow and we kept in 4 years. Now we own : 2001 oxford built MINI cooper - purchased totally because of the colourMk1 Mx5 Monza - Poverty spec 88 bhp - purchased because my wife's friend was selling it04 Accord 2.2 Deisel - Purchased because I had the cash and I thought I could save £2K a year on fuel, but have saved £1200 a year on fuel and lost £1000 a year in depreciation. But my kids call it "dad's grown up car" Oh erm We live in Miseryside, but I currently work in Derby Anyway I a spirit of random photo's here's some shite I took on Anglesea near LLanddona, when my mum took us for a boxing day walk.

I do think it's the spiritual successor to the metro turdo. Trim is a bit erm flimsy, the gearboxes have a reputation, they are both a bit dead below 3500 rpm and come alive at 5000 Rpm.

Mr Livered Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Lol @ POD - Mrs Livered gets really offended when she finds that my phone is full of pictures of old cars and not of her. The other day I took some pictures of her tits just so that she'd be more understanding about there also being a load of pictures of Maxis and Allegros. eddyramrod and tooSavvy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShiteRider Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Greetings from Ainsdale!My old man lives in Ainsdale, much of my young driving career was spent flying up and down heathfield road in various 80s blue oval chod (slamming on for the speed cameras, of course).I don't know how to rip pictures from streetview, but if you look on Phillip drive you'll see my old man sat on the drive in his dark blue Migraine Scenic, going "what the fuck?" PS sorry for the thread highjack, welcome to Autoshite mate. New POD and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minolman Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Apparently my Acclaim was built in the same factory and along the same production line as your Bini. And the Acclaim seems to have received classic status, so there will be hope, eventually..... Welcome to the forum New POD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
