You were videoing some woman bending over in Tesco when a fat bloke with a loaf of bread gets in the way ......😯😯😯

Nah, it because they were playing Crowded House performing that Paul Young song 😉

Popped into Tescos to see if there was any  fuel and what price. Whoopee ! 5 litres for £4.70. Booo ! Only 4 containers. Had them away, sharpish.

And two weeks later from a different part of Scouse

 

SMELL YA LATER!!!

Went out to the Xsara Picasso earlier (how fascinating, but bear with!) 

When I first got it, it stank of smelly wet dog. The worst

But I shampooed the carpets at the time and lobbed a neutradol in there, successfully got rid of the dog smell, but it smelt of chemicals as you'd expect

Well a couple of months have passed so the chemicals have dissipated, and the warm weather seems to have restored the "new car" smell

It literally smells like a new car in there, mixed with that typical 'giffermobile' smell. 

I absolutely love it!

Woo

Looks like a sensible way to move stuff around.

[808 Estate]

I want one of these.

Looks like my local Machine Mart got their paint from Vauxhall

"Good condition, needs a clean"

Hmm...

Might need more than a clean having clearly had Mr Ferrous-Oxide-Buttocks sitting on it for one journey too many!

Never have I been more grateful that smell cannot traverse the internet.

How come the dingbat hasn't figured they'll sell quicker and for more if he spends 20 minutes cleaning them up a bit?

I haven't updated my thread in a while but, after a lot of fucking about and quite a few long nights, this thing has an MOT on it. 

I've done a whopping 30 miles in it today and while there's still a long way still to go it's definitely got potential. It's great fun on the twisty roads around mine and 60mph feels like 150-exactly what I hoped for!

Another '90s Toyota joins the extended family fleet:

Having put his 1970s Mini-in-need-of-restoration up for sale, Miss SL's boyfriend has just spent the forthcoming proceeds* on this.

Between them their fleet now comprises 2010 Impreza, Yaris Mk1, Avensis SR and this MR2. Not bad for a couple of 18-year olds....

 

*The Mini hasn't sold yet, I imagine there's a bit of man maths applying here.

Looking online KAC still isn't on the road. Is this an old photo or not? I see a new V5 was issued recently though. 

Looked pretty grim a few years back when FOAD was looking at it.

I wish it was!

Of those the only one I have owned is a MK2 Granada.

I have driven the Rover, Alfa Six and Peugeot 604.

I have never driven a Tagora

And am not even sure what the Japanese car is?

[camryv6]

I think a Toyota Crown
