Markeh Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Have arranged to hire a car while here in Turkey, just to explore for a day or two. My initial attempt to get a Dacia Lodgy for the 6 of us via the company our hotel plugged failed but I've instead been offered an older Hyundai Starex (which as far as I can tell is a rebadged Mitsi Delica) instead. 20 quid extra for the two days would've got me a Transit minibus, but where's the fun in renting something I could've driven at home? Intrigued to see what shows up tomorrow. loserone and Yoss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Three years ago today I was doing stupid things with an HDI and my 205. If dad hadn't gone and died I'd probably have eventually managed to get it running. I'd like to revisit it at some point to be honest.

dollywobbler Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I saw a photo recently of us all at Shitefest 2014, standing around the two-stroke Fiesta and did feel quite the pang of sadness at the sight of your old man. Hope you do manage to revisit that project. The result would be awesome. trigger, barefoot, wuvvum and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to do it either backed onto a pair of ramps or jacked up on axle stands, can you see any bolts that may be holding it on?

RoverFolkUs Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Was in subway earlier, some bloke was going on about all sorts of random shite. I decided he was a total nutcase when he came out with this bold statement "barbers and hairdressers are all money laundering organisations and nothing else" Cue the next 10 minutes, various bits of "evidence" of why this is the case... Not a soul in there had a clue who he was or what the fuck he was talking about. He was loud enough for everyone to hear, of course Left me rather puzzled and made me question why I actually chose to go to subway... TLDR; subway attracts very odd people, would not recommend.

Markeh Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Hire car collected. Feast your eyes on this magnificence: 3rd and 5th, and 2nd and 4th are stupidly close together, reverse is a bastard to engage and the aftermarket parking sensors are having a fit every time you try and back up. It's a bit battered and the sills are entirely chequerplate, and she's done 250k kms But it has ice cold air con front and back, a Bluetooth stereo (by Pyle Auido it proudly proclaims) and some sort of turbo diesel. It'll do. Maybe I should've had the Transit instead. Rust Collector, Stanky, Tickman and 14 others 14 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkyarddog Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Had to deal with a lacquer peeling Yaris bonnet for a friend. Removed the bonnet and sanded all the loose lacquer down to the base coat,a pain in the hoop. Dents and chips filled. Rubbed down,and given a squirt of primer. I couldn't be arsed painting it myself,so my nephew collected it and took it to his dad's paint booth that evening. Got it back the next day and refitted it. Result.

Jazoli Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Picked this up after a fraught train journey involving 4 trains, a missed connection and a lot of stress today The drive home was thankfully uneventful, its an economical beast, 53mpg over 156 miles of mainly motorway, a bit better than the 24 I got from my V70 usually. Thanks to @sims00 for a easy pleasant deal as usual, my wife thinks we should just swap cars every 3 months.
