Ask her to come up with an interior design for a car lift..you don't NEED the room above the garage..right?

 

[Split_Pin]

That's her sorry our 'hobby' room 😂

Another 300 miles completed at the weekend just gone in comfort and at 33mpg indicated. Coolant seems fine, I'll keep an eye on it though.

 

I let the good lady drive it back up from Stranraer on Saturday whilst I snoozed in the passenger seat-it's a very comfy car to be chauffeured in.

You should buy this for exactly this reason. It's working.

I think it'd suit you Cort. I could give a home to your Rover if you have too many cars, you know how much I love* a car with cooling system issues...

[cort16]

I do like it but I'd only be tempted out of my p6 for snother ancient heap . The recore of the rad seems to have fixed the cooling issues (said that before )

It was worth a try. I've had the horn for a P6 for a long time, recent activities on this forum haven't helped. Have you updated your thread with progress?

[cort16]

I keep convincing myself I'm going to sell it then I drive it and change my mind.

I fixed it while I was in the huff so didn't update the thread.

[dome]

Well the Jag finally went via eBay to a couple of lads who poked, prodded, sucked their teeth and then made a derisory offer that still left me healthily in profit. 

 

So, gumtree and ebay have been getting studied and last night I agreed to purchase another car. A 4x4 was on the list but this is the wrong time of year to buy one. The haunted P6 was tempting but I don't have the space/balls for that one

 

Last night a viewing occurred and a deal was reached.

 

Not particularly Autoshite, although it does have the following redeeming* features.

 

It's French.

It's not moved in months

It has electrical issues.

 

Collection on Friday!

[Ghosty]

How is something French not AS?

 

I say 607.

[Tickman]

As long as it is not a Rancho, so common!

[cort16]

I'd say it was that scrappy v6 xm that made junkman think a p38 Range Rover seemed like a more sensible proposition but they are most definetly shite.

 

Therefore I think it's Clio 182.

[dome]

Some interesting guesses so far. Collection confirmed for Friday night.

 

The question is, do I reveal all at the Scotoshite meet tonight or do I keep everyone in suspenders?

You obviously reveal all, we can all keep a secret!

But you won't know if he has or not

[cort16]

Are you going to be avan (a good) time driving it???

[oldcars]

Vel, Satis-fy us and tell us before the meet please.

[hairnet]

Will you need your visa to buy bits for it

[dome]

Good work gents

 

The new purchase was guessed correctly at this evenings Scotoshite meet. Prizes* were even awarded.

 

There's also someone on this thread who guessed correctly, I shall have to look out a prize for them too.

 

2 more sleeps!

[hairnet]

Saw a Spanish vel satis getting of the ferry in Santander on Monday

[hairnet]

H987RKG

[Tickman]

Behold the mighty prize:

 

Yes it is a:

 

Good night last night and looking forward to the cars arrival.

 

As said we can keep a secret

[dome]

Collectioning begins after work this evening.

I have the full resuscitation kit in the girlfriends car to hopefully bring a car home which is sitting with a flat battery, stuck on brakes and a healthy dose of Frenchness. Naturally a hammer is involved.

 

I may require alcohol by the time I get home.

 

Stay tuned shitehawks...

[Tickman]

May much luck be with you.

[oldcars]

Good luck, that ashtray is class. Makes me want to start smoking.

[fatharris]

That ashtray is properly awesome, man-shed attire.
