The 2016 Want it, Got it thread...

[ruffgeezer]

Ok so this year my fleet has been somewhat stale as it's contained 3 "non sellers", but next year I am hoping to freshen it up with something new, so I present the want it, got it thread.

 

 

Got it;

2000/X Xsara Picasso 1.6 petrol; high miles tip run tool.

 

1999/S Peugeot 306 Convertible, 67k ish, cambelt, springs and hood repaired when I first bought it. Everything works but the rear screen is foggy. (Available affet July 17th)

 

 

 

Want it:

Mitsubishi RVR

Some sort of factory built pickup truck

Ford Anglia/ Popular 3 box shape

Mk2 Fiesta

Luxo Barge?

Manky MiniMetro.

 

Now obviously my list is unlikely to generate straight swaps, but you get the idea, perhaps we can all get something new without the hassle of buying a shitbox on bumtree.

[eddyramrod]

Luxobarge enough?

Some of us rather like the 306 cabrio....

[purplebargeken]

Want It: Fuck knows

 

Got It: Fuck knows

[MarvinsMom]

got it-

Rover 75

Jaguar XJR

Austin Metro

Austin Mini

 

want it-

something allegro shaped...

a maxi perhaps?

 

but as SWMBO keeps saying i've got too much already, 1, many or all of the got ones will i think be leaving next year.

 

plus i'm well out of love with the mini and metro, so i think they will be my "winners" at the game of shit in-shit out.

[purplebargeken]

Ok, concentrate.

 

Got It: Amazon, Mondeo, Rover, Sierra

 

Want it: Fixed Oldsmobile, an estate of some kind or a MPV maybe. 

[MarvinsMom]

or may be add one of the early lexus i400's assuming that there are any nice ones left?

[R9UKE]

I'm hoping 2016 is the year I get indoor storage and start REALLY stock piling.

[michael t]

Here's mine

 

Got it:

 

2002 Fiesta as my daily

 

No storage space for a few shit old cars

 

A hopefully solid job

 

 

Want it:

 

Storage space for a few old shit cars

 

Shit old cars

[Negative Creep]

406 working fine so no real need to replace it. Only reason I will would be if it went bang or a straight swap

[320touring]

got it

 

several non working cars

 

want it

 

a working v8

[brownnova]

Got it:

Wife who says i can't buy any more old cars

Mazda MX5

 

Want it:

(Same) Wife who will let me buy more old cars

Mazda MX5

[catsinthewelder]

Got it

 

Broken Austin, Battered Disco,  Cherry

SWMBO who won't see the first two leave

 

Want it

 

Working BL tat,  workhorse,  reliable runabout

 

The obvious choice is just fixing the 1100 really,  I'm tempted to swap the Cherry for something more suitable for my handyman job that is also better for motorway runs but it's actually fine at either job if I just take my time.  Chancing on a 405TD estate could sway me though.

 

I still want a small brown Triumph but as they only come in saloon form I couldn't replace the Cherry with it.

[Doctormop]

[eddyramrod]

I still want a small brown Triumph but as they only come in saloon form I couldn't replace the Cherry with it.

Oh, and a job maybe, but that's not a priority. I cannot possibly tell you how much I hate fascism, thus I'm a bit reluctant to further allow some deadfuck corporation to exploit me.

How about about a second woman in you life so you can keep two cars with each of them and they will both think you are a fine fellow!
