Would that be number 2, or two randoms, sir?

 

Hint: Most people would opt for the latter, cough, cough...

[meshking]

Number 21 for me please.

[Fat_Pirate]

Couple of randoms, please.

39 over here, please

[Junkman]

01 please.

 

You'd either have to reconsider, or haggle with WilsonWilson, I'm afraid.

[HillmanImp]

I know absolutely nothing about these, my entire knowledge is based upon what has been written on here by members of this forum.

 

Yet, despite this and the apparent absolute certainty that it will expensively grenade itself within 20 minutes of setting off in it, leaving you with a worthless car stranded miles from home after stumping up for travel, insurance and personal time, you are actually all buying tickets for it. 

 

Was it all Quentin Wilsoneqsue lies and generalisation? Are they actually not that bad or does everyone simply ignore their own advice?

 

Obviously the 'funny' way to end this post would be to buy a ticket but its only 1.15pm and I'm not pissed yet, just tipsy so will leave it for now.

[flat4alfa]

Ohh...

 

Ich brauche ein Kopfschmerz!

Let's pretend I'm not encouraging insobriety. Well, actually I do, but let's pretend I don't, okay?

I don't know what QW ever said but the lack of grenadage has been disappointingly apparent during the Junkman's ownership.

 

I've been out for a short passenger ride in it and nothing fell off, the air suspension was even demonstrated with no explosions or computer based wobblies. 

 

 

As such please accept these words as a cast iron warranty that nothing can possiblei go wrong.

[gadgetgricey]

Ein zufälliger, bitte  

 

guter Mann

[Junkman]

To be fair, the water pump did grenade four odd days into my ownership, to much hilarity.

 

 

 

A 39 quid repair, which hitherto remained the only expense I had aside from petrol.

[SamR380]

You'd either have to reconsider, or haggle with WilsonWilson, I'm afraid.

 

Gah, too slow. Missed out by actually checking what it was I was buying a ticket for...

 

Number 10 instead please.

[Junkman]

My honest conclusion:

 

An example that has survived the past 20 odd years can't be a time bomb on its last ticks before doomsday.

The car had sat for weeks when Chaseracer came to look at it and then it did need a tickle with the jumper leads,

which is no surprise. Once they were attached, it started right up, gave two seconds of lifter rattle, as expected,

then immediately went into suspension aerobics without any further ado.

 

The dreaded liner slip issue was explained to me by the recovery man, who is a serial P38 molester himself.

He said, it mainly affects cars that are used for hauling heavy trailers, or which are constantly abused otherwise.

The high torque demand during such shenanigans distorts the engine in the engine mount area, ultimately this

leads to the defect.

Now look at mine, 89k miles, it never had a tow bar and I have yet to find myself in a situation that calls for full whack.

 

This car was bought by me for a reason, the very reason fell through and thus I'm selling it. That's it.

There is no trick or false floor from my side.

You know what? I'm feeling lucky, so I'll have 44 as well please.

 

Not that the number 44 is, in fact, even slightly lucky. But I just fancy having a second improbably profligate 4x4 on my driveway!
