pogweasel Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 ^FOR FUCKS SAKE!Presumably yean another SHIT CHAZZA RALLY CHARIOT. It wasfunny once, about 8 years ago. Look at all those UTTER MONGS standing there, presumably having their pic taken for some shit local paper"ESTATE AGENTS CAR-AZY ADVENTURE""A group of mindless dullards from a random provincial backwater are taking on the challenge of driving, in a car, from one place to another place not all that far away. They are hoping to raise £8.03 for charidee. What makes this amazingly unspectacular event even more pointless is that their car cost -just- £250 AND they have painted it pink! Let's hope these WHACKY RACERS make it all the way to Calais OK."All such individuals need a firm kick in the knackers/clack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 It does look like the pic was taken outside an estate agency officeSomebody offered £100 for my Saab to take it on a zany charity rally, I have to say I got quite stroppy with them.

Spottedlaurel Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 What's a..... arch-typical careful Datsun Car Club member woman driver ......when it's at home?? It's someone that has provided me with a smashing car that has the most comprehensive history file i've ever seen All your 1200 Estates are belong to me Sorry, might have lost some of the quoting business there. I met Dorothy Crick who owned this car, really nice lady. I saw her with it down at Will's at a post-Bromley Datsun OC get-together some years ago. Got a pic of it back then somewhere. She is also partly responsible for me having the ex-Datsun/Nissan UK files, in that through her I found out about the chap who held them as he'd done a build date check on her car to prove it was 1972 built and therefore tax exempt. I talked to him, and ended up with the files a while later (which reminds me about something I need to sort). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 "Don't keep asking me 'Why' Reg, it just happens to be that year"Would have worked if it wasn't an A-reg! Nearly all of them seem to be Y-reg models in beige, usually with the 1.7 engine which I imagine is fairly grim.Still fancy one though, for trips down to garden centres, local steam fairs or a quick trip to the reservoir to check the level.

Although, they are quite economical on a run due to fairly high gearing despite being a 4-speed (I got 42mpg out of my x-reg one years ago) and the ride quality is amazing! genuinely as good as anything else on the road, citroens, jags etc of all ages included.I would absolutely love another. The thing which always puts me off is looking after the Hydragas suspension.... I was given an Austin 1100 with suspension problems as my first ever car, and suffered the frustration of never being able to pump the bastard up (+ therefore drive it). However I now think its possible to make a good pump out of a grease gun and a special valve off eBay, so that doesnt worry me so much, to the extent that the yella Maxi off eBay is looking very tempting, if nothing else as an excuse to make a pump and try it!.
