Hirst, I´m proud of you! 

 

I can feel the good old days of OJC coming back! 

[Lukas]

 

 

I'd say a Tredia is next, if any exist.

 

Or if you cant find a Tredia, try to find an early Mitsubishi Carisma. 

 

Here in Austria, they are already forgotten, maybe extinct. Ok, it absolutely lacks charisma, but that should not be a problem for you.

I can see Hirst in a 90s Galant, not the cool shark nose ones, the bland blobby ones that predated them.

[Lacquer Peel]

Is it a non interference engine?

[flat4alfa]

Wonder what happened to this.  Lapsed SORN 2011.

 

[Spottedlaurel]

Was that the LHD one? I thought it ended up in an accident.

[flat4alfa]

Yes it is/was LHD

Incredibly I believe that Eddie Stobart sticker might even drag your social status even LOWER. Well done, the Christmas party is going to last even longer than normal this year.

[MrDuke]

Fun* Fact: Nineties' talentless faux-indie mongtwunts Baby Bird torched a Tredia in one of their videos.

I've just come back from Tesco where I was looking at Car & Car Mechanics mag. In the free ads there is an auto Quintet for sale. Seller says it the last auto in existence.

[Skizzer]

QUINTET!!!!!!!!

 

Fuckin A.  I think these (and the same-era mk1 Preludes) are great looking cars.  I lobbied my father to get one of these in 1983, but he went for a Maestro instead.  I have never quite got over it.

[pompei]

My dad had one in 1984. It was good.

[vulgalour]

I like the rear view of that Quintet very much, it all looks just about as it ought to.

[AlabamaShrimp]

I don't know what to add to this thread other than why do I never see any of your cars driving round town!

[Dave_Q]

It's a place for coffee shops and trendy sorts.

 

Is it now?

 

Wakefield, recently:

The tredia got written off in a head on collision after I sold it to my mate. Boo

 

I think that turbo one that was up for sale a few years ago at mega money is probably your best hope, no idea what happened to it though...

[phil_lihp]

Outstanding.  In terms of obscurity a Quintet must be one step away from dredging a forgotten Seat Malaga out of a garage.  Looks very tidy too, glad to hear it's not going to see winter road salt!

[philibusmo]

I saw a Rover Quintet today. I was going to take a photo but there was a very large and angry looking aboriginal chap driving it and I didn't much care to irk him.

 

This is some quality chod purchasing. You should buy all the musically themed cars. Quintet, Maestro, Allegro, MK2 Astra Swing, Datsun Bassoon, etc

[Adrian_pt]

Top work.

 

One place where Quintets are reasonably thick on the ground - God knows why - is Ukraine. Which would make a fairly epic collection thread, I should think...

[fatharris]

This pleases me.

What is 'executive' about the 323, apart from the badge? The Quintet is great stuff, you own a lot of cars I've never seen in nearly 30 years of living.

[Angrydicky]

Looking forward to seeing more pictures of this!

[wuvvum]

you own a lot of cars I've never seen in nearly 30 years of living.

For some reason I had you down as way older than that.

 

No offence like.

[RobT]

Looks nice that. Giffer owned and garaged I assume, judging by the lack of rust. Front valences are prone to grot on these aren't they?

[trigger]

There's a Quintet for sale in the latest issue of Modern Classics, a auto one, is it the same one? "HER"?

[the judge]

You big Go-getter!!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

It seems to have been freezing cold, pissing down and blowing a gale ever since I got home from my fuppin world tour

[DSdriver]

Towbars have 50 per cent less chance of bruising your shins compared to DS front over-riders.

Visitors leaving our house in the dark are warned not to get too close to the front of the car but quite often we hear yelps and swearing.

She's Vulg's new curtain-twitcher neighbour in Wakey on a day excursion....

 

"Hello, operator....yes, there's a man, and he's playing with his Executive window"

 

"Excuse me, his executive window?"

 

"Yes, his executive window. He keeps making it go up and down"

 

"Pardon me?"

 

"Yes, at first it was all juddery, like, but now he's doing it with a smooth action"

 

"Oh, that does not sound good, we'll send someone there straight away.... But first, can I just check.... is this a euphemism for masturbation?"

 

"Oh heavens no, he's just repairing his car"

 

"Goodbye...."

[MrDuke]

"TSK!" (stands there for a bit too long, awaiting a response)

"...can I help?"

 

.... and that was your mistake, right there. Unless a prole actually asks you a direct question, you should never attempt verbal communication. I mean, it is fun being sarky with them, but it's WAY more fun surreptitiously watching them do the whole passive-aggressive act, trying to show you how annoyed they are without being so common as to put their irritation into words. The longer you fail to respond, the more violent their internal struggle becomes, and eventually they'll be forced to either speak to you (in which case they'll hate themselves for acting like a common lout, and probably drive into a wall on the way home) or just walk away very awkwardly (in which case they'll be tormented by the dreadful knowledge that their beloved world no longer works as it should, and descend into a vortex of G&T abuse). Either way, you win with literally zero effort.
