INCORRECT

Judging by the write up, I'd suggest that changing the "L" to an "R" would make that sticker far more accurate.

THE RECYCLE YOUR CAR NONSENSE HAS BEGUN:

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-CITROEN-ZX-A ... 0153779479

NB. THIS CAR MAY SOON BE WORTH £2500! To UK Government is contemplating offering £2500 (ish) for cars over 10-12 years old when buying a new car. As they are doing currently in Germany - albeit 2500 euros. [info from the radio and TV recently] i.e. Similar as trading in your old washing machine or fridge to buy a new one - but this system with HMG backing!

If I was sat in a vehicle with "PUG" written below my window, my face would look like that too.

[AXrescuer]

What a face, she looks like 6 stone of slapped twat.

[Des]

And the illiterate tosser has knocked it up.

[Richard]

I just noticed the buggy behind the driver's seat.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

OMG I've just bought the champagne and paprika piss pot for £190!!!!

 

[STUNO]

[pogweasel]

Result!

[Torsten2001]

Fuck me that's a steal, I spent a fortune (IMHO) on that! Could this be the new Autoshite Office bike?

[Guest]

Crikey!! That sounds like bargain of the year so far. Hugely jealous as I love Itals.

[michiel]

Nice one!

 

Tried to find a 603, this came up (600 w/ a 603 engine) for 40,000 euro:

1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88

 

Someone on RR Emailed the seller, apparently it will be scrapped if it doesn't sell. Starts at £1000 with a reserve! What a cretin.

He's also put in the description that all teh lights and sirens work, which is against eghey regs, so the auction will probably get pulled anyway.I wonder what he actually thinks a rotten old delta is worth?

I had a shagged out old Delta back in the early 90's which cost me the grand total of £350 - about the same as I'd pay for his one.

Dunno! I think some people just think all you need to create an eye-catching talking point for your business is to buy any American 4-door, give it a half-arsed rattlecan respray in black/white, add a light bar (or some £4.99 emergency beacons from Motorworld, or some red plantpots, or don't even bother), visit a signwriter and get a load of "HIGHWAY PATROL" stickers made up then dump it outside your tattoo parlour/specialist clothing store/independent music shop and leave it to grow gradually more rotten, unwashed and forgotten-looking. Then when you start receiving complaints from environmental health, bosh it up on eBay for double what it cost, because you did spend an entire afternoon respraying it after all.

[pogweasel]

I got to thinking: One of these would be ace for the semi-pro tat-fiend...

Space for tools and bits, plus GR10 4 A-framing... plus keep it in AA colours & set the beacons going and attract 0% grief off the rozzers.

Now then gang, what do we think of this?

Here's my current thoughts:

+ Sherpa. Super-shite points.

+ LPG & cheapo insurance = low running costs

+ Cheap

+ Ready to use

 

- Sherpa. Nasty to actually drive any distance

- Bit on the tiddly side!

 

Now I know cars have 'grown' over the last few years, reckon this could be OK for shifting older chod on it without falling off the back? Again, just for local work not major cross-country exec-level collection & delivery so I can overlook things like the 'sherpaness' of it. What motive power is that likely to be? 1700 o-series??

[dollywobbler]

That looks terrifying! Huge overhang FTL.My 400 had a stretched wheelbase, so weight distribution was never an issue, even when I once had a Vectra diesel on board which was facing the wrong way. That 200 looks like it needs wheelie bars!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I agree, looks a bit unstable TBH. The rear wheels are too far forward!

[pogweasel]

I shoulda bloody bought your 400 when I had the chance, Ian.

[dollywobbler]

Aye. T'was a fine old bus. Mind you, the person who bought it REALLY wanted it, so it might have got expensive!The flashing amber lights came in very useful once when I was driving up the M1. And the exhaust fell off...Heritage I think they call it!

GR8 4 SHIFTIN MINIZ.

 

Slowly.

 

I wouldn't buy it purely on the basis of that at some point you'll want to shift a big car and then you're screwed. Might as well wait until something a bit longer crops up and then you're all set to move anything. That thing, even with just that Corset on it look like a prime VOSA magnet.
