wuvvum Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Avid followers of the News 24 thread may have read that I have recently been asked to vacate the car park where I've been parking several of the fleet since I lost my storage in the summer. This led to a realisation that I have too many cars and too little tme & money to keep them all on the road, and I'd be better off reducing the size of the fleet. So why the actual f**k am I now sat on a train to London on the way to pick up a car wich I really have no particular use for and certainly don't have a parking space for? Well I think the thread title may give the answer to that. Although in my defence it is WEAPONS GRADE chod, and also a car I've never owned before. There probably won't be any live updates as I have no clue how to upload photos from this phone, and Greater Anglia wifi is shit anyway, but I will endeavour to get a forecourt photo assuming all goes well- will have to wait till I get home to post though as I fail at technology.

cort16 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Right, lets guess what it is. Newer or older than 1990?
Tetleysmooth Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I hope it's that e34 I put in Ebay tat. Then you can fix it and I can buy it. Simple.
Hertz Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 This is going to be tough as the shite ownership force in this shitter is strong, if he was a top trump card he would be one of the best you could get dealt. I'll go for errm a Daewoo Matiz?
RobT Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 It's not that Daewoo Espero in Park Royal is it? Must classify as weapon of mass shiteness. Edit: maybe not then!
cort16 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Older than 1990 Hmm. I'm gonna say Hyundai Stellar?

Sigmund Fraud Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Too many cars ? Not to worry, there are plenty of good samaritans on this very forum who are willing to visit you and take some of those awful old cars away for free

HillmanImp Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 This must be quite easy to work out as its a type of car that he has never owned before. There can't be that many left, can there?
wuvvum Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Now sat on a local train in London trying to avoid eye contact with the crazy woman sat opposite.
wuvvum Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Well I've picked it up. It's not quite as good as the seller made out- the "light tap" on the front appears to have been more of a full on smack in the mush- but don't think it's anything that can't be fixed if I can find the bits. Now about to brave the North Circ and then the M11. At least the wiprs & heater work. scruff, Alexg, EssDeeWon and 1 other 4
Asimo Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 It's ok for women, they just buy shoes when they feel the need. (Which they can take back the next day if the purchase hasn't made them happy) Much tougher for us...........
purplebargeken Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Wuv, you were just down the road from me!
wuvvum Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Stopped at B Stortford services for a piss. Going ok so far, although at anything above 50 the driver's side wiper couts the screen pillar, which could get tiring.

dieselnutjob Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 there is always the compromise of some new tools
wuvvum Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Developed a nasty missfire under load on the A14- appears to have been the distributor and/or plug leads soaked through from the spray. It's improved now though. Also lost d/s wiper blade, so have stoppd and nicked the rear blade to get me home. wackywacerwill and Alexg 2
Squire_Dawson Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 This is great stuff, must be some top notch chod of the old school judging from the rolling comments and the fact things are getting worse each time. Keep steady on! scruff 1
