That was the dealer trying to show me how!

Marital communications yet?

[Six-cylinder]

Now you all know the horrible truth, I guess the mods will devise some punishment for my poor taste in cars!

I was going to show up in the not too distant future as it is now my No.1 tow car.

Are you still looking for a 1980s cassette player or has @Tadhg Tiogar fulfilled your needs? Can check out the parent’s garage holding my spare part store on Sunday.

[Six-cylinder]

@Tadhg Tiogar came to see me last weekend with the Alpine unit so that solves my immediate problem.

I used to have a selection of radio cassettes but they have been used so I would be happy to hold another one for future needs. If you want to hold onto yours that is fine, if you want it out of your parents garage I would be pleased to receive it.

We found the wbac process painless,if a little soulless last week when MrsV8's bmw went.

Just speaking to them as I spotted an armed robbery on Facebook 100m from their house! Police knocked a motorbike over in the road and shots  fired. It used to be such a posh area! I’ll look for the radio, I am sure I know th box it’s in.

to be honest, I didn’t know there was a bookies there, last time i noticed it was a picture framers,

Do you think I should get a sticker made up for it "MY other car is a Citroen Visa"

[beko1987]

You know there's a modern forum just for things like this? I mean of course it's going to be very reliable, and you made sure it came with a good warranty as that's the sensible way to start a decade of ownership. 

(I'm sure @brownnova can make the modern forum vanish to Mrs 6c so you can be truthful as ownership progresses...)

He can't afford it now

I'm sure @Mrs6C will soon be backing it down a slipway up to the rear door handles to drop the boat off, does the anti corrosion warranty cover that? 

[hairnet]

good job you dont live in the emerald isle

Up to the door handle is water seems to be normal water level on roads at the moment.

We can make one of those with the 2 1/2 invacars in the field can't we? I've got a fibreglass kit somewhere...

That car we passed submerged halfway up the doors during our little detour through the countryside certainly thought so!

FTFY  (especially humorous given how people seem to complain everyone today is running around in Motability provided range rovers!)

 

(well to be accurate and obscure about it you could put "AC Model 70"  you just put "AC" and everyone will think you have a Cobra! )  

[Six-cylinder]

 "MY other car is an Invacar"

I am not sure I would go that far!

First owner Mr Anderson, Shendan Road, Bristol, 2^nd owner? Third owner me.

Do you mean Sheridan Road in Bristol? I.e. hand written making the r and i joining up. 

Incidentally my wife works along that road. 

Edit: just seen that it was taxed in Horfield. Sheridan Road is in Horfield, so it ties up. Incidentally I would have almost certainly driven past it countless times, as I lived around the corner (Dudley Grove) when I was at student at uni. I drove that way if I was driving to uni. Probably stumbled past it many times from getting off the bus drunk after a night out too...

That works now I look at it again, it also says Horfield.

Unfortunately the previous owner has passed on.
