Is that the one that I had for a while on the £120 deal with the mental speedometer ?

I'm pretty much frothing at the mouth over that Y10. I may need to get involved in the raffle. 

What an incredible selection of shite.

This one was an alleged barn find in Grangemouth previously owned by a Lancia mechanic.

It drives very much like a Fiat Panda of similar vintage but has a serious amount of extra tat added on!

Is this not the one which was on the forum previously? I think maybe @phil_lihp or @philibusmo owned it? Possibly also @For Fiats Sake? And may have spent time on loan with @Ohdearme?

I don't know what ever happened to that.

Hopefully it's still alive or dormant somewhere. That little car looked like crap but it was very very solid by the time I'd finished with it.

Did you sell it after the autoshite loan scheme ended?

Jumping on the black Friday bandwagon with any of these available for £10 this weekend.

Picked up a 900 tonight, quite possibly a keeper but who knows?

Is that the Practical Classics one from a few years ago.

Great photo BTW!

It's clearly having the desired effect, a Triumph Herald owning friend I saw last night was talking about having bought several tickets.

And the week after that is the battle of the boxy shitboxes.

The Lancia seems to be the popular car of the pair but we'll see what happens come the 17th of December.

that SLK puts on a good performance, surprised the lada struggled - were they not built for this sort of weather ? :)

The LDV was collected today.

One of the tyres on the lada was completely flat so wasn't really helping but I've had other ladas with winter tyres which were also terrible in the snow.

The Saab performed well enough.

Seeing snow covered shitboxes getting beaten down a frozen country lane reminds me of David's Farm. Despite all the justified controversy that was the original (Candian) shite channel.

LDV update, made it home last night after 300 trouble free miles.

It managed 4k miles around Europe in the summer so I had no doubts that it would get from Fife to Telford even with a little snow.

This week's roffle is the 205 GL.

I hear my friend may have won this with his Black Friday ticket, look forward hearing more about it and hopefully seeing it soon.
