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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglevan Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 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!!

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroShite Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 A new arrival this week. An early DT 125. Sounds like a bunch of angry wasps inside a can but goes surprisingly well. andyberg, Stinkwheel and Semi-C 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroShite Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 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. Schaefft, Erebus, Tickman and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroShite Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 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. CGSB, Tickman, grogee and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. mk2_craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
