Sold PTSD Cruiser sold pending collection

[D Spares & Tyres]

The problem with autoshite is that you can rarely buy an unusual vehicle for pennies anymore. At least not a useable one anyway.

 

I can't get excited over Vectras and Focuses, sorry. Just not rare enough.

 

Some lovely classic cars on here but they are not shite.

 

This is about as individual as it gets for a modern, surely?

 

Didn't really want it but it was so cheap I couldn't refuse. Under the paint is a tidy car with. A reasonable history and lowish miles.

Very tidy interior

Lady owner

Mercedes diesel engine, so pissing fuel out..

Breaker?

May the farce be with you?

 

Well after a good look round it and a bit of a drive on some private roads I actually like it. It doesn't seem to need anything for a test. I've fixed the fuel leak for £1. Think it needs a crank pulley though, there is a dreadful clatter on tickover but it goes when revved.

 

I was questioning my judgement but everyone other than mrsdodgy thinks it cool

Mercedes diesel engine...... there is a dreadful clatter on tickover

There's your answer, right there.

 

Funny enough there's one been advertised today on a Facebook group local to me.  2.4 petrol, no MoT,   I do like these...

[dollywobbler]

I was looking at a PT Cruiser the other day, and realised that I actually really like them. I think I mostly don't like the faux-Americana that haunts these cars like some fuggin' ghost. You know, wolf T-shirts and that sort of tacky shite.

[Sheefag]

These things are surprisingly comfortable and a very clever use of space. I like them.

I'm off to the US next week, if there's anything of reasonable size that you require, I may be able to help.

I always hated these and wondered who bought them when new.

Ah.

Michael McIntyre fans....

 

This car came with the original sales brochure with the sales persons card attached.

 

Dick Lovatt

 

Bet she does

 

By the way, this car is built in Austria...

[warren t claim]

And I used to call the Allegro estate a Smurf hearse. I think the baton has been handed over to the PT Cruiser.

There were loads at the Herne Bay car show. Not a standard one among 'em

Thank feck for that, I thought it as just me that liked them.

Wolf T-shirts are old hat, your discerning punter has moved on to one of these:

 

[Cavcraft]

Absolutely dreadful, true scraping-the-bottom-of-your-shoe motoring. Well bought.

 

Now paint the wheels red, make some port hole windows for the sides using a steak and kidney pie tin foil dish, make a skull with lighting up eyes as a gear knob and get yourself to Rhyl.

[warren t claim]

I think Jim Davidson owned a PT Cruiser. 

[Guest Hooli]

I wish someone would put a big block V8 into one of these, so it is what it tries to look like.

[cobblers]

jesus christ man, that's absolutely wank to the level that painting "PEDO" down the sides would actually make it more desirable because you could then claim it was a social experiment

[cobblers]

I do like it though

[hairnet]

omg

 

theyre shit but i want a go in this

 

[Sheefag]

They're actually a much better drive than you'd expect.

[Bren]

Utterly fucking abysmal.

 

The automotive equivalent of a sexually transmitted disease - no one wants one but will take the risk if it's for fuck all.

 

12 and 32 please.

[Junkman]

They're actually much more shit than you'd expect.

I'm with you on the alternatives. If it's between a bloody Vectra, Focarse or Laguna, I'd be all over a PT Cruiser. Fingers crossed the MOT isn't too painful.

[strangeangel]

A PT Cruiser with a CB radio fitted... I take it you've already scraped the confederate flag off the roof then?

 

Fair dos, that's as bad as it gets; a car with no redeeming features whatsoever. You have just won Autoshite.

[catsinthewelder]

I've driven this a few times and it goes quite well,  the bonus is that from inside you don't have to look at it.

[Sheefag]

I can't remember but did they ever sell the convertible in the UK?

I've seen a few about. Like skips with a pointy end.

That isn't a very high bar...

[doobietoo]

Good man. ..softly softly catch the monkey they do clatter a bit but as long as the bottom of the injectors don't have a load of black sludge around them you *should be fine

[Aston Martin]

I love people over here, who buy a PT Loser and think they’re American.

 

Top shitting!!!

Holy Mother have mercy, what terminal shite on Earth do you usually drive to come to this conclusion?

[dieselassist]

... Autoshitting at its reverse best- if you'd paid money for that you've obviously been charged with some serious 'long stretch' offence, n need to escalate your insanity 'defense' to the fullest, n have it 100% 'water'tight' - I commend you legal counsel for its far reaching 'vision'... specially the bit about not being into Vectras n Focus's; prosecution might aswell throw the towel in...

[Dirk Diggler]

The diesels the best* of them but they really are 'orrible; they were shit brand new and age hasn't been kind (but I reckoned 300Cs were a load of wank too; a cheapened, plasticky Merc 211 trying to be a Bentley lookylikey)

He bought a Land Rover from me. Nuff said.
