SVM in "Oh my God, not another one!!" Shocker

[Swampy21]

As it is that time of year where my slightly buggered Carisma goes in for it's M.O.T, and due to the possibility of it dying on the operating table and costing more than it's worth............
I decided on Saturday in a half pissed state to Browse evilbay and came across a tasty looking 940 in a fetching Red colour for £495 of your british pounds buy it now.
Now, being a somewhat Tight-arsed Lancastrian living in Scotland, I didn't push that button............instead I waited till tonight, when I came home from work with a twisted left shoulder and 2 sore knees, which led to an "oh, fuck it epidsode", and an Offer of £400 was forwarded to the nice man in Lancaster..........
 
I go for it on Saturday, possibly in the company of RML2345 and Davidfowler2000 of this parish...

You must eat an egg prior to collecting it.

 

Thiz is the word of the svm gawd

[danthecapriman]

Looks good, nice and clean. 400 quid well spent I say!

 

These old bricks have got to go up in value soon, surely. It's a lot of very good car for pretty much no money.

[dollywobbler]

Aye. They're likely to become rare in England, that's for sure! No fair!

[DS20]

Plastic wheeltrims and giffer-air-deflectors FTW! Love it!

[Spiny Norman]

That looks a right bargain Lee, hope to see it at the next Scotoshite bunfight.

[Jim Bell]

Great plate for 924 owner. Must be worth x!!! amount on its own.

Don't see many 940s with trims either. I think it wears them well.

Any 900 is a good sub £500 buy. I think you've done very well there man.

Lovely. B230K? Must be getting rare now to find a red one.

[DodgyBastard]

Any pics of the carisma?

Mostly 'pogweasel pink' by now... 

[Twiggy]

Tidy is that - very tidy. Can we expect a collection thread then ?

[rml2345]

Not a bad looking thing. There should be a live collection thread, or at least one that twitches occasionally...

[oman5]

The Welsh Volvo Massive (that's me) approves.

[rml2345]

We are on something called a train, heading for Glasgow.

 

 

It'll never catch on.

[320touring]

You've lost a fair bit o weight..lookin guid!

[Swampy21]

He's been ill. I think it might be the thought of me parting with money!

[320touring]

Aye,i heard he fitted burgers instead of rear light

[rml2345]

We are on another train.

 

 

The announcement tone sounds like the first two notes of the "Magic Roundabout" theme. So far there have been about 847 different announcements including one about the shop having no stock...

Proving that the art of conversation died a long time ago.

Any pics of the carisma?

I'll get you some tomorrow FOAD

Its no often the name of the train company matches the passengers.-i think this may be an exception;)

[rml2345]

Arrival.

 

[Luckythirteen]

Oh the excitement! Haud me back.

 

Hang on. Two collection threads, for two cars, involving five people. Who aren't talking to each other, but to people going in opposite directions?

Is there something I haven't yet understood about Shiters?

[davidfowler2000]

Obligatory. Because petrol.

[Jim Bell]

Money.

[rml2345]

Update!

We have arrived home without incident having deposited Dave2K on the way...

One or two minor issues but nothing serious and it drives really nicely.

Smashing.

[Twiggy]

I`m not jealous............. oh no, not at all.......

The same happened when we picked up the Peugeot.

How boring that was.

[320touring]

Yeah rubbish when you get hame in one piece with fuel left in the tank..

[Swampy21]

Arrived back home around 8pm and promptly opened beer to celebrate. Here's the car park carnage this morning.
