I'm sure Prab will be along when he's ready but this gives you an idea of how to ended and how lucky he is.

Did the Renner meet a tree or telegraph pole? Poor thing

 

11/10 to the R9 for preserving its human cargo, though. I'd not have thought a mid-80s smallish car would do as well as that in a crash - particularly after so many years on the road.

^^^^ me neither, but then again we don't know owt about the accident. He might have only been doing 15mph

[trigger]

It was only a stone that flicked up off the carriageway and hit the front that caused the damage...

My IMP (ir belts fitted = win) was actually emergency stopped - 3/4 ways onto the pavement! - when the 'tank slapping' mk3 cort shortened the front by a foot !!!!

 

A quiet life of 22 yrs ended prematurely - it gave its life 4 me

That's pretty damn bad. It's shifted the A pillar back?

[fordperv]

The picture is a testament to old cars being safe, the cars around 30 years old and still he managed to walk away, i hope the car gets a fitting send off

 

Yes I know I don't know how fast he was going at the point of impact but I am suitably impressed but gutted at the crumpled pictures

Just in case people thought I'd buy anything, I've just been to see an absolutely effing awful Galaxy TDi. Loads of MOT, taxed to get me home and a very good offer with my Corsa as part-ex.

I still walked away, it was absolutely shagged.

Who are you and what have you done with the real billy?

I'm swapping him for a bicyle tomorrow!

[Cavcraft]

The one picture of the car was the one good side. The turbo had gone ( I knew about that) but he omitted to mention the passenger side had been parked on a couple of boulders by the look of it and it'd had been used in a drunken 'colour by numbers' competition by the school for the blind on the windiest day of the year using Toys R us water colours.

   sad to see but glad the driver is ok.

2CV roadtrip contained barely any dramas, other than getting air, getting flooded, getting fed up with an indicator and getting stressed by plebs on the M4 and M25. So glad we took the 2CV.

I think you took the wrong car, go back and get the XM!

[The Moog]

Pug has had strange issues with not starting which I traced back to the negative terminal screw being lose. I had a spare one I bought from Halfords clearance box for 50p.

 

Now car starts on the button and will hopefully cure the non starting. Two cars electrically fixed today 😊

I have to laugh, this scrappy has declared it's top ten makes of scraped cars over 2014, doesn't it look strangely like Cavcrafts stock list?!

What a fucking dismal lot. No Peugeots? A recount, please.

[Ghosty]

^206 is in there?

[derskine]

Replaced fuel tank on Polo after I discovered it pishing out whilst filling it.

Bit of a bitch but got there.

Also bruised a nail getting it trapped between a jack handle and the car trying to pry the tank off, drilled a hole in it and it's all good.

[barefoot]

Scirocco serviced today and finally had the rocker cover gasket which came with the car, thanks Scotty/Hillman Imp replaced.

I suspect that this vehicle is now 100% mechanically perfect and just a bit scruffy to look at.

You might find it falls off anyway. I did one in January 2014 and it was just starting to grow back when I twatted it again in the March, it took until a couple of weeks ago to grow back properly.

To be honest, not too bothered if it falls off, relieved the horrendous throbbing.

Just swapped four wheels off one 2cv onto the other. That's my gym session done then!

[barrett]

BONDS have GONE!

 

Now down to a sensible* and entirely manageable* SIX vehicles. I feel like a weight has been lifted. New owner reckons he is actually going to make one good car out of all the bits, and do it properly (although he kept calling it an E-kweep). He's promised to keep me updated.

[skattrd]

The Delta HPE has just passed it's MOT, after having 2 tyres fitted.

The car handles eleventy times better (and brakes in a straight line) without the Avon ditchfinders on the front.
