Cavcraft 2017: Another day, ANOTHER Rover!

[Cavcraft]

Half way..l

3/10.

 

Sure, it is doom blue and a bit grubby, but it looks like it has a full set of wheel trims.

 

However, bonus points may be awarded if the interior contains a large quantity of sand and those toys you get with a happy meal.

They should all catch fire.

 

Your way of telling the motoring world you are capable of reproduction.

The interior contains crayon, previously enjoyed sweets, horse feed, hay, straw, a pen, something that I don't want to believe was infant excrement and various other delights. Was part way to cleaning it, but we had to shoot off and help a mate try and start his Freeloader.

I like zafira's. Would have to be a gsi or vrx or whatever the sport ones are.

I also like Zafiras.

[beko1987]

I have a fondness for them! Stepdad had them as company cars from V when mum met him to 10 when his company switched lease providers and he got a vag!

 

Do prefer the A though it has to be said

[Cavcraft]

This is great, it's turning into a self help group!

[DeeJay]

 ...........and he got a vag!

 

 

 

He's Bruce Jenner AICMFP.

IIRC the crayon, McDonalds chips and hard boiled sweets were added at dealer PDI when new on these.

My old man had one when I'd be about 18 or so. It was a doom blue 'life' model with the asthmatic 1.6 in it. I hated it quite frankly, I refused to be seen in it, it made me want to die everytime I got dropped off at the pub in it or at the then girlfriends house.

 

It was fairly vile to drive as well, it had 7 seats but providing the rear most 2 were happy to have their face inches from a HGV on the motorway this was fine. The seats were flat as fuck, it rolled about like a bastard on the road, all the cassettes used to fly about if you chucked it about with gay abandon. Like most Vauxhall engines, the pedal to the the far right just made it make more noise and precious little progress, so a pedestrian 60 mph was its sweet spot, probably compounded by its wardrobe like dimensions.

 

It had absolutely no redeeming features apart from it never broke down, in 120k the sum total was a leaky radiator. It's still on the road sadly with nearly 200k on the clock. It's MOT is up fairly soon so with any luck something serious will crop up and the smug bastard will be conscripted to the breakers in short order.

 

Did I mention I dislike the Zafira A?

[Timewaster]

A mate had one, used it every day for about 8 years, 3 miles to work.

Had it serviced twice in all that time.

I think the worst that ever happened was the water pump leaked. So at least it got a cam belt.

 

Sounds like a great car. Except for the sub 20 mpg. It wasn't nice at all though.

[brownnova]

I've always said.... if the day comes that I buy a Zafira my wife is to take me off to Switzerland, book me an appointment with Dignitas. For it will be a sure sign that I've given up...

 

Not my cup of tea.... but no aspersions cast upon those who profess love for them....

[Hendry]

I also dont mind Zafira As, a Renault dealer once gave me one as a courtesy car when my Astra id bought from them broke, 51 plate 1.8 Elegance, was actually alright to tool about in. The GSi ones I think are kinda cool as well, ideal for the middle aged midlife crisis types as it saves them selling their family car for a fast, sporty 2 seater sports car like an MX5. 

 

For utter pointless Vauxhall MPV shit though it would have to be a Meriva VXR, not really sure what they were smoking when they decided we needed a VXR version of it, but id have one.

Only because the technician's* mum takes them for a happy meal every lunch time.

Whatever those pictures look like, it was far worse in real life. Have cleaned it inside/out and whilst still pretty vile, it's a shit load better. Sadly, no items of cutlery but broken McDonald's toy, half sucked sweets, a baby's dummy, various 1p and 2p pieces, the crayon and some fries were present.

Holy fuck!!

[MorrisItalSLX]

That interior needs some petrol and a match thrown at it, I've seen more inviting prison cells in North Korea.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

You'd need seat covers to keep your jeans clean!

[Pillock]

 

"I had seven in here yesterday"

 

(Judging by the state of the seats in yours, it was a bukakke party)

[Bren]

How does a car get that fucking filthy?

 

Because the owners have no time for cleaning - especially when Jeremy Kyle and love island is on the telly.

[Brodders]

Forget what I said yesterday, that is fucking awful. Far worse than I thought it would be.

 

If you took that to be cleaned at your local hand car wash, they would probably take you around the back and teach you a lesson the same way De Niro did in Casino.

[Jams]

That is pritty grim to be fair! How some people live/get around in filth is beyond me!

 

There's not having time - hand car washers are a god send!

 

Just dirty and cba- no cure

[sierraman]

Christ. What animals have been living in there?

[Timewaster]

Im sure there are some new species of bacteria in the seats and carpets.

 

Seats out, sunny day, jet wash.

 

That or fire.

 

On that subject, if a Zafira B caught fire, would the insurance bother to investigate? Just a thought.

 

I also wonder if the tendency to self combust is reflected in the premiums?

[sierraman]

Soil isn't very flammable though.

 

You wonder what state their house must be in when you look at that. I've seen stuff dragged out of canals cleaner.
