Dollywobbler's Dead Rover 600 - Replacement sorted

[vulgalour]

The seats fold into a bed.  It has a hatchback.  It's a bitty awkward looking.  Dogging references.  You've effectively bought a Japanese Maxi.

[dollywobbler]

I guess so. I don't like carrying cash on me really, but it's probably the easiest option. I've sent him a Paypal deposit so far.

[messerschmitt owner]

I have never not paid cash for an old snotter! Everything else is a hassle!

[trigger]

Bank transfer?

[dollywobbler]

He's received the deposit, I've booked the train and made insurance arrangements. Not 100% sure of the Cornwall arrangements yet. I'll sort out the balance in due course.

[cort16]

I've lost track, what have you bought?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

PT Cruiser

[hairnet]

weirdy import

[cort16]

Dodge Charger RT

[worldofceri]

That 528i has been reduced to £750.

 

You'd be a lunatic to buy anything else.

[cort16]

So it has, it's a manual too. It's very nice .

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I just can't see Wobbler in a decent BMW 528i, its all wrong. They are just too 'competent' a car.

There seems to be a Honda S-MX licker in the next street over from me.

 

They have two of them, a silver one and a black one!

[richardmorris]

Well it's different, certainly.

[cort16]

As endorsed by elton John. It looks interesting!

[richardmorris]

Did they sell the Nissan Cube over here?

[cort16]

Only the newest ones cubes were officially sold her but plenty of grey imports of the older ones.

[trigger]

I have to admit, it does nothing for me personally and i can't even imagine you driving it DW, you'll have to shave that hair and start wearing a baseball hat.

[dollywobbler]

I really can't explain it. I look at it and think "that should be a dull thing" but find myself just thinking it looks ace. Especially from behind.

 

It really reminds me of some obscure kids TV programme I used to watch in the 1980s, though I can't remember what.

 

Plus, it's a nice practical shape, in a way no European-market estate car seems to be anymore. I hope I actually like driving the thing. If I do, maybe I'll keep my eyes open for an orange one.

[cort16]

The door thing is weird. You can kind of see the reasoning for it but it'll be interesting to see if it has any practical value.

Transformers, innit!

[dollywobbler]

Don't think that's the programme I'm thinking of. I'm sure there was one were some cool kids drove around in futuristic looking motors. Buggered if I can remember what it was though.

[Hertz]

Mask?

 

 

I thought this was to replace the 600/XM as a long distance cruiser? 

[Ghosty]

The back looks like a V70 that's on top of something.

[toejam]

That's ace

No, don't think it was Mask. 

 

It might be a good long distance cruiser for all we know. It's got a 2-litre engine, so it shouldn't half bad really.

[egg]

Pole position?

 

[dollywobbler]

Nope. This is going to drive me crazy now.
