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.

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?

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

Can we please organise a North East shiters meet ASAP?!

I'm up for it!

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!

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.

Just when you think HMC has reached the pinnacle, he keeps climbing and lo and behold another pinnacle is achieved

Surely this vehicle trajectory can only culminate in a Sherman Tank? 

Well bought. I hope it really pisses off the old dodders in Tavi

[HMC]

The group ive assembled (GF and 4 kids the combined total) also have to visit the Russian embassy. Presumably when i pull up and drop off outside ill get tasered.

[Cookiesouwest]

Why does the seller describe it as a mini limo?

Looks bloody gigantic.

thats amazing its like the Boeing 737-100 of the Stretch-limo world,  short stubby ancient older type of a style, that today not many people are probably aware of

its a panther body car, but not a town car and not even that stretched, I love it!  

[cort16]

That's cool, I saw that on autotrader a few weeks ago.  Does it not have some weird issue with the back window/roof.

 

[Stinkwheel]

Ive always loved yanks, had a good few. Never quite been brave enough to go for any sort of stretch as they are often done in a very 'haphazzard' way.

I salute you and await posts about progress.

It's big, it's blue, it's 4 wheel drive and it's very cheap , but it's tatty and it needs a steering rack. I'm driving it at the moment and don't really have the time or wherewithal to get it sorted, so I'm just gonna sell to someone who can.
