Sold Peugeot 305 - OFF TAE SCOTLAN.

[Lacquer Peel]

I like it but rong pump and I don't have any money. I think you have to be patient for the right buyer if you're selling something old and obscure like this and aren't giving it away.

[garbaldy]

If it didn't have back doors I would have bid, I don't know what's going on at the moment but cars seem a bit hard to shift

[Jim Bell]

Is that what they actually said??

Yes.

[nisfan]

Really want this now, fancy a stanza?

[Jim Bell]

Sorry mate, I don't at the moment. I really want a 405 TD.

[purplebargeken]

What a wanker. 

 

Sorry for the non-sale mate.

[stephen01]

I would love this, just dont have time or space for it...

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Thanks for that

[Jim Bell]

Still using this mother flipper every day. 

 

 

 

 

The auld bitch has developed a noise from the near side rear wheel.  Jacking it on Overruns sports jack and spinning the wheel reveals a rough point and a bit of play.

 

 

[Jim Bell]

Rather than burning it, I has bott a wheel bearing, which will be fitted to make all smooth again.

 

 

 

 

 

Got another temp sensor to try too.

 

And some 205 Gti Pepperpots with better tyres to try for fitment.

 

The old girl deserves a bit of continuing care.

 

 

[Jim Bell]

 

Errand.

 

 

 

409.5 Miles on the last tank

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Top of the world.

[cort16]

Keep it

[Jim Bell]

Keep it

 

I am keeping it.

[Jim Bell]

But not because you told me to.

[cort16]

So you say

[Jim Bell]

 

 

Doorhandles could be shinier.

[derskine]

[purplebargeken]

That's the reason it didn't sell. Dull door handles. That is a newbie's mistake Mr. Merdepois. I expect better of you.

 

That is a handsome looking chariot, bloody shame it seems difficult to shift. Odd.

[Lacquer Peel]

 

Errand.

 

 

 

409.5 Miles on the last tank

 

 

 

Top of the world.

 

I make that 41MPG, assuming there's a 5 litre reserve. Not bad, moar hypermiling required.

[Jim Bell]

Nearer 50 I think. The fuel light isnt on yet. And the last tank was 51 mpg.

I will update Fuelly when I fill her up.

 

Real Maths coming at you.

[Jim Bell]

Attempted murder update.

 

I was up at half five with the dog this morning so I thought I'd make use of the quiet dry morning and trial fit some 14" GTI pepperpots to the 305 as the 15" speedlines didn't fit.

 

Jacked her up, got the wheel off, then the cunt just slipped off the Jack and tried to end my thus far reasonably uneventful life.

 

You thankless cunt!

 

I had to jack the front to infinity and stack 15s carefully under the sill to rock the back high enough to get a wheel on.

 

And guess what?

 

 

They don't fit. Same clearance issues as the 15s.

 

 

Fuck this car.

 

 

Underseal stuff has suffered some jack slip gouging, but other than that, everything looks good. No damage, apart from the 17 hours the fright took off my life.

 

 

 

I have decided that if there is enough interest, the car will now be offered for Raffle. The car is still going into local tame independent garage for wheel bearing on Wednesday, so will be good to go drive ANYWHERE by the time the next lottery is drawn.

[Jim Bell]

So,

 

Roll up, roll up! Come one come all, for the greatest prize in history, I promise it won't try and kill you at all!

 

Pick a number, spin the wheel, and like the way it makes you feel!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not delay, buy your dreams today.

 

 

 

Details to follow.

[320touring]

Glad you is not dedded due to jack slippery.

 

And glad to see the 305 is suitably "bof" re everything you try to do!

[cort16]

Is it the offset that's the issue? Are the wheels sticking too far out?

The whole wheels fitment thing is like BMW model numbers x2000 and I'm pretty sure no one in the world understands it fully there's just some who pretend to.

[Jim Bell]

Do sit down dearie, and get yourself comfortable. And we shall begin.

 

 

 

 

 

Ooooo, the miiiists are paaaaarting.

 

I see a great win for you in the future.

 

I see four wheels and the colour gold.

 

I'm getting the word WEASEL. Do you know a Weasel dearie? Or it could be diesel. Do you know a Diesel?

 

Anyway, the spirits are foretelling of a great journey north to victory that lurks in your present future.

 

 

I see a new Castle, a place of great excitement for you.

 

 

 

 

And the sea. I can see the sea. But it not like Margate. It looks much nicer.

 

 

 

 

 

And you're there and you look so happy.

 

 

 

The spirits are telling me to give you the following advice.

 

Give a stranger £12.

 

Pick a number between 1 and 49.

 

If the stars align correctly, all of your dreams will then come true.

 

That'll be £12 please dearie. Shut the tent on the way out.

[Jim Bell]

Is it the offset that's the issue? Are the wheels sticking too far out?

The whole wheels fitment thing is like BMW model numbers x2000 and I'm pretty sure no one in the world understands it fully there's just some who pretend to.

It's offset and width (j) for sure. The alloys protrude too far inward.

[Jim Bell]

So a raffle is on.

 

Ball of bonus will light the way. Andy.

 

£12 be the cost per go. Andy.

 

The draw will be the Wed or Sat immediately after all numbers are claimed and paid. Andy.

 

Lucky winner can collect at any reasonable hour. Andy.

 

Car is taxed and insured so no great hurry for collection. Andy.

 

Please copy and paste as per the usual procedure if you're interested in a number. Andy.
