HMC- Return of the Cheeky 500

[HMC]

Xantia sold to Mr Greggs

[BeEP]

You're slacking. It took a whole four minutes for that to sell!

[83C]

Damn, if it falls through let me know. With the ground clearance it would have been an ideal WBOD.

[BorniteIdentity]

Ohh go on then, I’ll take the Xant!

Any chance you can drive both back? If so I’ll have the renner.

 

No?

 

Oh.

Sounds drastic

Well done.

 

Can I have it when you get bored?

[purplebargeken]

That ain't no Volvo lol.

 

Well bought/swapped/whatever the fuck happened. 

[D Spares & Tyres]

Bugger.

 

I would have had the Xantia. Mine has just failed the mot badly and although Mrs despairs never usually says no to what I drive, she has said that his and hers matching red Citroens is a bit too sad, even for us so I won't bother doing the retest work.

 

Too late!

[purplebargeken]

^^ Never mind, you could have a lovely blue BMW Touring instead

[They_all_do_that_sir]

If the Merc was sorted and sold I'd have that Renault off you in a heartbeat

I also fancied the Xantia although 500 miles away would've been too far for me anyway!

 

4 minutes to sell a car. This place etc....

[HMC]

Renault 19 also now sold! Both have gone to long term shiters.

[Marm Toastsmith]

Phew.

[djoptix]

I have some 4x100 alloys that would suit that 19 nicely - available free to the buyer if they want them. In Bristol.

[Fabergé Greggs]

Sorry to HMC, but hopefully good news to someone else.. I have to pull out of buying the Xantia. 

 

My classic insurance says NO. Normal insurance is crazy for me (circa £1200!!!) because no "no claims" and Beruit. 

 

I thought I was safe saying yes because they'd previously quoted me, however "that was at a different address".. Bastards. 

 

I hate giving people the mess around. Soz. 

[D Spares & Tyres]

I think I'm second or third in line but dibs on the Xantia please!

[HMC]

Xantia re- sold to the second interested shiter.

Balls

Took my sole transportation off to get a pizza. It’s low but avoids the scene lowness where even raised manhole covers are a sump ending experience. The nec trip has prompted further sound deadening and- given that the standard air filter box is supposed to be a good one anyway- and it’s a lot quieter- I’ve got a second hand one coming off e bay to replace the aftermarket one. Loud induction noise on a 4 cyl diesel is just LOUD and DRONING; Something the Lseries diesel excells at anyway. With a 1200mile + germany trip next month i thought I owed it to my ears.

Bugger. Throwing hat into ring. etc.

The Rover 45 (and the rest of mg rover) nearly ended up being a Chinese takeaway. Things could have been different. As it is, this Rover 45 is collecting a Chinese takeaway. The replacement standard air box makes the car sooo much quieter

[wuvvum]

You can get a K&N panel filter for the original air box which would allow better airflow without any additional drone.  They aren't particularly cheap though mind, and would probably only net you a couple of extra horsepower anyway.

I had a K&N cone on the 45 V6. It made sod all difference.

Rover's staff Christmas card right there.

[HMC]

Off to Germany for Christmas today with the kids and my divorce-in-progress wife to spend it with my in-laws. It’s been planned for ages and wasn’t possible to unplan. Taking my current sole transport - an L322 Range Rover TD6. Yes I have European break down cover.

...and my divorce-in-progress wife to spend it with my in-laws.

 

That sounds like shitloads of fun and harmony.

That sounds like shitloads of fun and harmony.

At least its not in Germany.

 

No, wait..
