Will I keep it longer than a week? There's your answer!

If I keep it, it's only a matter of time before I bin it, lose my license or both! It's quick and quite addictive to floor it everywhere so for that reason I'm out!

All of this months shite is being offered with free delivery!

 

Damn, too late to ask for a buy it now price? Probably for the better.

Too late, plus there's no incentive to sell outright.

Bloody hell, that's my old MG!! By eck its changed a bit, was a totally original rubber bumper one with original deck chair seats! I sold it for a grand to guy in Hull during lock down. I still have the heritage certificate somewhere. I'll have to get some tickets in the hope if winning the shite thing  back!!

Fantastic selection of shite up for grabs tonight, all with free UK mainland delivery.

Seems two of these are coming to friends of mine in Wales. Will the Daihatsu fit in the back of the 406?

Unfortunately the Daihatsu won't fit, it might have saved me the £900 odd in delivery costs! At least they're both off to good homes.

This photo was taken in July 2023 so it's changed in the last 12 months. It looked quite tidy in its original guise.

It was, very solid shell. I regretted selling it but had too many cars and something had to give.

A new arrival this week.

An early DT 125.

Sounds like a bunch of angry wasps inside a can but goes surprisingly well.

Picked this rather sad looking passat up today, quite uncommon being a GT with the 2.0 16v engine. Non runner at present.

Fortunately it came with another tailgate so swapped if over this afternoon.

Seems relatively solid and apparently ran when parked 16 years ago... Don't really have room for it so will see how long it stays.

That brings back memories, my dad had a red estate (G reg, 1.6 TD though), Always liked them. Really comfy and tank like.

A clean and polish would totally transform this one.

I won another DT125 on eBay, it's a bit of a shitter so have offered it up at a quid a go.

When picking up the bike from the seller I noticed a mini clubman under a cover, I asked about that and he said he'd sell it.

I picked it up this afternoon. It drives quite well although I've never driven one before so nothing else to compare it to.

Is that of the age fitted with the power valve you can turn for more fun? They go very well with that done.

Now we’re talking! That’s an absolute honey. 30 yrs ago I bagged my now wife driving a russet brown one of those. She fell for the looks but stayed for the ride. And handling. I think the longer wheelbase means they handle/ride  better than a normal Mini, less choppy.  is it an 1100? I think the run out ones were 1000 from memory. I hope you’ve got a big stick to help fight off the ladies.
