Sadly that's utter bollocks. Questions I'm usually asked are,

Which all night garage sells booze?

Is the 24 hour brasshouse open in Bootle?

Do you know any numbers active for beak at 3am?

Will you do a cash up front wait and return to Tranmere as I've got to "drop off some keys" to a mate. See above question for the real reason.

Is that still on Canal St ?  asking for a friend 

[warren t claim]

Back in 2004/5 I spunked over twenty grand on a similar TX2 auto, a 2003 Bronze spec and it was plagued with build quality issues LTI wouldn't fix. 

Somewhat surprisingly I still see it around today, still Ford powered but with a manual box fitted.

[warren t claim]

To be fair, my TX2 was by far and away the worst built TX1/2 I've ever owned or driven. Rust breaking through at less than two years old and the steering damper problems made driving it feel like piloting a TR7 ragtop with severe corrosion induced scuttle shake. Utterly dog slow and struggled to hit 70 on the flat as well as barely managing more than 20mpg.

My fault for buying an ex Scottish cab that had been treble shifted for the first 18 months/two years of its life. Still much more reliable than the Reliant Scimitar Picasso diesel that was the Metrocab auto I owned though.

As per title. Incoming yank barge today.

I’ll just leave this here as a placeholder....

[BorniteIdentity]

You think you hate it now - but wait 'til you drive it.

[HMC]

Here is Kendall Jenner in the actual vehicle in question.......

[Jim Bell]

Dodge Aspen?

[Asimo]

A silver Chrysler Neon with vinyl seats and a minidisc player.

[rob88h]

Crown Vic?? 

[NorthernMonkey]

It’s got to be a PT Cruiser, shurely??

[Tayne]

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
smells like a steak and seats thirty-five..

 

Canyonero! Canyonero!

 

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!

 

Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero!

[Krusty:] Hey Hey

 

The Federal Highway commission has ruled the
Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.

 

Canyonero!

 

12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!

 

Canyonero! Canyonero!

 

Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

 

Canyonero! Canyonero! (Yah!)

 

She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
She's a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine!

 

Canyonero!-oh woah, Canyonero! (Yah!)

 

Drive Canyonero!

 

Woah Canyonero!

[Jim Bell]

Thats.

 

Fucking. 

 

Amazing.  

[Soundwave]

That is made of win.... although it boggles my mind that the US was still producing stuff like that in the early 90s! Looks straight out of the 70s!  

[Cord Fourteener]

New track day car then?

[w00dy]

The perfect colour for an absolute honey. of a car.

 

Very well bought

[davehedgehog31]

Holy mackerel, that is absolutely fucking stunning. Well bought. 

[Jim Bell]

What year is it? And what engine? And what everything else about it?

We need to know details.  

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Stunning, has it got one of those weird drop down and side hinged lower tailgates? I always imagine at some point theyll just fall off if you get it wrong.

[tooSavvy]

Oooof

V8..??

[HMC]

It’s a “302ci Windsor small block v8”

In English a 4.9 v8 that turns petrol into sound (and a bit of power but mainly sound)

[BorniteIdentity]

As always, it falls to HMC to lead the way in these difficult times for us all.

Someone, anyone, name me a better purchase this year.  That's off the fucking scale.  Well done man.
