holbeck Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 If any shitters are local to the area we will be at South Devon Railway in Buckfastleigh on Sunday. That's only 30 miles from me, I might come over in the Saab, what time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 I haven't updated this for a LONG time but basically today, excatly 2 years after it getting delivered to me it has left my ownership :(. In fairness it was a good van, I never had a problem with it and like the Marina it really wasn't as shite and everyone would like you to believe, the only real issue was the low ratio MGB rear axle meaning it was quick of the line but screaming it guts out at 65mph and being a van it was a bit bouncy when empty. The trouble was I've hardly used it this year, I've probably only done a few hundred miles and paying out tax each month and not being able to take the kids in it has started to grate, even more so as the Marina Estate is also the same where I can't take the kids in it due to no belts but with the bonus of not having to pay tax so now 3 months after agreeing to selling it (don't ask) it's been collected to start it's new life in the Cotswolds. You might even get to see it yourself as it's currently on the back of a broken Mercedes Sprinter on the M25 which is also waiting for a recovery truck...
