History file

 

Bought sight unseen, the first time I set eyes on it will be when I collect it!

 

I need to also go find out where it is currently residing.

 

WPCGW?

Came back to find this on my desk. Keyfobs covered for you all to keep guessing.

 

This is the best way to buy a car!

What?

 

Like any normal person can be expected to recognise a car by looking at the key?

 

Phooey.

Rover 75?

Pre 2000 release but post 2000 makes me think Volvo S80 for some reason.

Close! But not quite.

[Jazoli]

It'll be that diesel Jaguaaaarrrr

I'm going to say VAG looking at those keys.

[Ghosty]

Same thoughts here, they look a bit like our old 9N Polo's keys. But not too similar, and what VAG products are popular here?

[panhard65]

I am going for Vauxhall probably an Ashtray

[SiC]

Next clue: It's European and has a turbo

 

Had a quick peek at it. It's a bit shabby inside, but then it has done 210k miles.

 

Keyfob doesn't work. Interesting mod inside the fob to make a smaller battery fit.

Spanish Bastard?

[Hertz]

They look like Saab keys? 9-3 or 9-5?

SAAB/GM is my bet. 

[Shep Shepherd]

Mid-2000s Saab 9-3 or 9-5, going by the key and the design of the handbook wallet. I hope it's a 9-5

[oldcars]

I was sure that was a Rover key as well 

[omegod]

Lump of tissue / card is a well known way of keeping the battery in contact with the circuit board...ala GM !!  9-5 Saab I guess

[320touring]

Saab 9-5 wooosh:) godspeed lad!

Picasso?!!!

Oh wait.... not French!

Collection start!

 

First thing, go down to the garage and collect my trusty steed that reliably* gets me in everyday.

This thing gets me in to work in around 15-20 minutes. Bus takes 30-45 minutes. Car 45-1hr. No brainer really.

 

The money saved makes me feel less guilty buying cars!

 

Also, if the car FTP me on the way back, it provides a practical, alternative way of getting home.

 

This won't be a very long one. I can literally see it out of the office buildings window...

Skoda Estelle, 5 speed ?

[SiC]

Small delay, chatting on the way out! Try again.

[SiC]

A rose between two thorns!

 

Only warning lights is light bulb out and low fuel. A good start.
