Good news - the Hippo has worms!

[Saabnut]

My recently acquired Citroen shite has been christened "The Hippo" by a friends youngster due to its unbelievably good* looks, and looking through this parish, it would appear it is not the first Piccarso to be so named. Purchased mainly to see if I could save it from the fragger (with the back up plan of a cheap battery for the fleet and over the bridge it goes), I have been running around with it for the last few days, whilst sorting a few niggles to bring it up to approx MOT standard. Apart from the high quality* plastic interior, the several metric tonnes of dog hair and biscuits all over the interior, and the afore mentioned good* looks I have found it not to be as awful as I expected. I refused to clean it either inside or out until its fate had been decided, so today was decision day and an MOT booked.

 

Arrived a few minutes late, but not to worry, they were running a few minutes plus a bit late, and the hippo soon assumed the position on the ramp. The usual pulling, pushing and prodding took place to be told that @this thing is far better underneath than it has any right to be". It still wears all the original brake pipes, all of which are fit for another year. Overall result was a pass with a couple of advisories, two of which were for slight wear on the edge of the front tyres, which due to a typo I was amused to see said "inner edge worm".

 

So it has been saved from the fragger, and I will give it a clean now. What I will do with it I have no idea, unless someone wants a cheap runaround?

Could always have a game of Russian Roulette at Shitefest.

Winner drives home in the Hippo

Ask Ronnie Pickering if he needs another one.
