It's Wednesday, and you know what that means, don't you?

now fuck off or I'll set the dog on you

[wuvvum]

I ran a 1.5 DCi (Grand) Scenic as a daily for a while a few years back.  Apart from a bit of an appetite for engine oil (and a perhaps not unrelated propensity to chuck out blue smoke when cold), it was a good car, and bloody brilliant on diesel.

Cavcraft Sales - "We Sell You The Car You Deserve"

[chaseracer]

1995 Vectra 1.6 in Alcatraz spec with one 17" alloy and three steelies which I will think has done 8923571235812 miles because I'm an idiot?

 

Bub's selling...? 

[bub2006]

I don't possess an early vectra in Alcatraz spec. And for the record its got one space saver and 3 alloys!

If it's automatic I'll take a few tickets for the impending roffle

Manual.

 

Came to work in this yesterday, actually drove well. Known problems are 'half the dash doesn't work' (luckily speedo and gauges etc all do) none of the heater settings still operate (they packed up one by one) he said. Back window jammed up, and after I gave it a bloody good Italian tune-up the day I bought it it does t seemed to have smoked as much, if not at all.

Not quite as quick as I thought unless you really welly it, but does seem class on fuel.

[Kiltox]

Does the electronic parking brake work?

[Cavcraft]

Yes! I pulled a right face when he showed me where the handbrake is, but it turns itself off automatically as you drive off so no need to Beth Twiddle with the lever thing.

[JonnyHS]

My sister in law had an identical one of these. Same age. Was even the same colour.

 

I will pray for you.

[Pillock]

Those trims are nice*

 

 

Actually, I'm looking at that wanting to hate it and actually..... they're not bad looking. Are they? I've had a couple of bottles of cider, so perhaps my judgement is as clouded as that time I ended up in bed on the first date with the nutjob off an internet dating site - but they're not awful. I quite like the dashboard in a "fuck you, we're doing it this way" sort of style. Plus it's got blue lit digital stuff like an 80s yank. Oh shit. I'm talking myself into a scenic.

 

 

Aaah, it's OK. I've just looked at the wheeltrims again. SCRAP IT.

[michael1703]

Very shiny, you've 48 hours before it goes French and has a hissy fit, sell it as quickly as possible.

 

I sold an 05 espace a couple of months ago, it was running perfectly, put it on eBay, went to get it ready for collection and.... Wouldn't start,steering lock wouldn't come off,parking brake wouldn't release,doors wouldn't lock and Windows packed up

 

Bastard French heaps of shite

[Cavcraft]

Thank God there's no chance Pillock could see it in the flesh tomorrow, or something.

[Inspector Morose]

Now you can't see the nice* wheel trims. Why haven't you bought it yet?

[Cavcraft]

This has been in for an MOT this morning. One ball joint, two CV gaitors and a tyre. They want £280+vodka and tonic but I'll give that a swerve I reckon.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Bad news.

 

 

I'm getting one of these in a week's time. But it's a 1.6 pezzer, if you can see the good side in a 'firing squad or noose?' way.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Manual.

 

Came to work in this yesterday

 

How did you get home again?

[Cavcraft]

12 months MOT achieved, next stop Gumtree...

[oldcars]

"Enjoy" your Friday night with that on gumtree 

[Skizzer]

I'm going to stick my neck out and say I think these are quite handsome.  I rented one for a few days in France when they were new and I seem to remember it wasn't that bad to drive, except the electronic handbrake which was of course the embodiment of evil.

 

I don't actually want to buy one, mind.

[Cavcraft]

This wonderous motor vehicle has now departed the date stamp garages.

[RoadworkUK]

Hope you kept those Speedline rally replica trimz!

 

£££££££££££!

Pillock. Put the cider away and accept that in the education establishment of the motoring industry this car looks and behaves like it belongs in the special needs class, where it will not throw an FTP as long as it doesn't have to do anything useful and can go on outings to the zoo.**

 

 

**Fuck that, the chance of this car behaving makes Leicester's recent championship win look like a short odds bet.

[Pillock]

You lost me at "put the cider away" and I decided you weren't one of those people that needs listening to. Soz.
