HMC- new-Triumph Acclaim

[HMC]

basically the xm v6 was £1500 now £1000

and the 406 v6 manual coupe was £1000 now £700- ive bumped up the old ad on the for sale section.

Both long mots, both turnkey daily drivers.

Fuck it, I'll have the xm and will deal with the consequences later. I'll send you a pm.

@catsinthewelder happy to take up your offer! I can send you a pm. If anyone else wants to bring it up further towards Newcastle, let me know! I'm still on holidays until end of next week.

Awesome, you've saved me some heart ache I was in the middle of getting Shipley quotes to Scotland (and they weren't cheap).

I'll let you know when I realize what a terrible mistake I've made😂

That sounds even better! Let me know what she says, happy for you to have it for a few weeks. Curious to see how it compares to the V6 Safrane.

I am driving Portsmouth to Durhamshire in a week or so.  I can't do a big diversion but I'm sure Mrs L1 would love a few hours in a big Citroën without the kids.

I mean, my eldest is pretty good on his bike, but I'm not sure he's quite ready to drive a Duster towing a trailer 450 miles home

That 406 is an astonishing bargain. 

If I wasn't at the other end of the Universe to you I'd have taken this.

Argh fuck!!!!

Out at the zoo with the kids and missed the XM again!! I’d only not messaged when it was for sale before because the XC90 had its MoT so I needed to check it didn’t fail and need shit loads of work. Which it didn’t and when I went back the ad had gone. 

Damn. 

Well bought @Schaefft.

for an educated man thats a bit slow no?

I'm up for it!

[catsinthewelder]

Having checked the dates I'm heading back from Cornwall on the 12th and up to Durham on the 28th.  Miss C is happy to help but would like a go, can put it on my classic policy for pennies so it's fully comp and has recovery.

Definitely up for a NE shitters gathering while I'm up there.

Only downside is that I can't bring the 406 back for myself!

[HMC]

I took the 406 up to the hafod in ceredididididgion a few weeks ago, i loved it. It has the late porsche breathed on v6 and sounded lovely and went well!

There's been talk of a WD-40 (Weardale 40 mile run) and I've a few routes planned out.  I can't do the bank holiday weekend though.  Will bump the twixfest thread.

If you'd left it there I could have walked over and collected it  
If you'd offered the Citroen this time last week I'd have chewed your arm off for it as I was dropping sprogs C4 in at  Plymouth and coming back Sunday with the spare driver (t'missus) who would have leapt at the chance of not driving the XM (she has an allergy to automatics -weird?) so could have convoyed the Boxer instead - as well, such is life, there'll be another one along soon.

My Volvo is up for sale now. 

What I should buy:- another diesel Volvo estate that's nearby. 

What I will actually buy:- a V6 petrol French coupé that's 100s of miles away. If there's any way of it being transported closer to me, anyway.

Tell me about the Volvo. I'm in Devon.

Edit: seen it... looks nice... will give the ad a proper read in a bit.

Why was i clearing the decks? a good question. Because next week im going into central london and returning with this beast

 

But not before driving around soho in it and being a nuisance.
