Dollywobbler's GR-8 Rover - getting better all the time

Peter James. They have a blanket 20-year rule.

Looks like comparison websites could be your friend here.

[dollywobbler]

Comparison sites are unlikely to be as cheap as adding a car to my existing policy. If it's over 20, it's just a £15 admin charge. Adding a later 600 would only be another £70 as I'm due a refund for the Sirion cancellation before end of term. As it happens, I'm now able to go and view a 1998 diesel. I'm also going to be saying goodbye to the Maestro van. Danger! I'll have actual cash-money in my hand!

I did call about the Probe, as I do like them. Knackered clutch and no idea when timing belt was last done. NEXT!

 

Wow, £295 car in 'needs work done' shocker!

[dollywobbler]

I'm fussy. So fussy I've turned down two cars today, including a Nightfire Red 600 diesel which turned out to be super shonky and being sold by the dodgiest guys. Ever. Now at Bham International waiting for the Maestro buyer. Then I think I've just agree to buy that Benidorm Rover to get home! Not seen it yet. Need to check train times... FUN!

[AnthonyG]

Sounds like a proper shiter's adventure. Actually needing a charity banger rally car to get home.

It's not impossible to find a cheap car that has recent service history.

[New POD]

Is the generation 6 Honda ACCORD not just the same as the 600 ?

My 205.  New brakes, lower arms & battery, plus 9 months tax: £395.

 

I did not haggle...

The hoonigan 850 T-5 is also available if one feels brave...

I think you'll find he's found something, stay tuned and I'm sure he'll fill you all in.

Is it GOLD?

[trigger]

Sadly not!

[cort16]

The thing is with dollywobbler it literally could be anything from a reliant robin to an s class merc and anywhere in between .

[cms206]

I've seen it. It's even more worser looking than the Maestro...

[Tayne]

Was it that free Sirocco with no T&T?

 

Or one of the parts cars from KruJo's farm?

[cort16]

There is no hiding on the internet. I have seen it.

That free Scirocco was a 1000 times better than expected.

 

[Tayne]

Did you get it, Trig?

[Ghosty]

Free Scirocco? Bloody hell.

 

If anyone sees a free/very cheap Audi Coupé GT...

[Doctormop]

Let us consider the facts mes amis; Monsieur wobbler craves the 1994 or earlier chod, has expressed an interest in MG Rover products and is strangely attracted to purple.

 I present to you, by the power of the little grey cells........................................................................................

 THIS!

OK probably not but it does look proper tasty like

No although in hindsight I wish I did! A work mate bought it as a winter project as he wanted one, other than a oil pressure issue which could be the sender unit it seems good.

He's adopting Helga, Olga's sister.

 

[KruJoe]

He's not really.

[Micrashed]

Ive seen it - and what has been seen can never be un-seen.......

Oh, that bad.

 

Is it a VAG TDi in silver on rubber band tyres with an iPod adapter and a punitive finance rate?

No, not really.

I quite like it.

 

But i also think Mr Wobbly is being incredibly brave. I shall say no more and not spoil the surprise.
