In the shadow of The Shadow

[Cavcraft]

...and that means collection day.

[cobblers]

I predict 6 miles on a pushbike to collect an almera that some cats have been living inside

Edit: the almera also has a police drugs marker against the number plate

Bonus spotting of Ghosty in his Rover

Chester re-make of fifty shades of grey?

[sierraman]

I'll have one in grey please with grey bumpers. I'd also like a grey interior with a contrasting grey dash.

[Ghosty]

Stockport? You've come a long way then Billy! I was delivering a keyboard to someone off eBay.

[Bucketeer]

Has it got the magic number of cylinders (3)?

[Cavcraft]

 

Misery arsed as you like, no power steering etc. Runs ok if you don't boot it, but trying to give it too much in top makes the EML come on and it bogs down a bit. Still, for only just over three figures it's not too bad. Just need a bio-hazard suit on now so I can clean the outside.

[theshadow]

its grim down stockport, :-D :-D never clean it has character....

Astounds me that you could buy a Corsa B on a W plate.

[bub2006]

I've had two on x plates. Both 3 bangers. Good game Billy, don't wash it.

[Cavcraft]

You can get them on an X as well!

[wuvvum]

Fuck me that is miserable.  Good work!

[The Moog]

How does it smell?

[phil_lihp]

Only on this forum is that a perfectly sensible first question.

 

I suspect the answer is 'fruity'.

[Dave_Q]

I would have gone for "foisty"

 

The dashboard looks like it had some milk spilt on it in about 2003.

[richardthestag]

that looks so depressing, well done

 

interesting stains on the upholstery?

 

please wash it

[Bear]

please wash burn it

[Cavcraft]

Soz, I've totally OBBB'd* this now. Even the inside of the door tops were green

Inside needs more work, but better than it was...

[Dave_Q]

How do you even green a car that much?

 

I've seen cars that were parked under a tree, was this one parked under a canal?

[timolloyd]

I thought it was green, covered in a grey slime

[stripped fred]

Has it been dredged from a canal?

 

Edit

Just seen Dave_Q beat me to it!

[eddyramrod]

22/10 for the pez shot!  Getting it's grandson Viva in frame was a stroke of genius!

[Cavcraft]

That was the easy bit, Eddy: the red one is my son's!

[Doctormop]

• Frankly I'm disappointed, in the first shot it looks vaguely like somebody owns it, granted that it does look spectacularly grim to an average earth dweller but, and this is only my opinion mind , we have seen much higher standards of misery in the past,

C+  MUST TRY HARDER

[DeeJay]

It must have been bad if your local Kosovans told you to wash it yourself.

[greengartside]

Spectaculuarly grim! Another fine purchase for sure. Has someone cleaned the dashboard with toothpaste?

 

I had one of these 973cc jobbies a few years back now. It really didn't like going over 60 and did about 20 to the gallon. I suspect it was fucked.

[Split_Pin]

Welcome to the Club. Decent wee steeds, as you know I got 5 years faultless service from mine. Re bogging down and EML illuminating intermittently. Likely your egr valve or MAF Billy. Fit a gen used one if you're going to go that far, cheap ones will stick open and kill the engine, ask me how I know......

[cros]

That's a corking little car, a bit overspecced for my liking, but the lack of power steering is very attractive, and I wouldn't be compelled to use that wiper thing on the back.
