Would likely struggle with something like a small holding but anywhere* would be better than fucking Edmonton. so what your saying is you should copy DW and move to wales? and get an invacar purplebargeken and mrbenn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 My van was in at a local bodyshop for the tailgate painting and a few touchups before I sell it. As usual it took them three times longer than they said and it's not a particularly fantastic job. I picked it up yesterday lunchtime, drove straight down the M1 back to work. Home from work after, and there and back today. A bit after I got home I went upstairs to the bog and looked out of the window - there's a flipping roll of masking tape left on the roof! It's been there for two days and about 80 miles! somewhatfoolish, The Moog, myglaren and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 My old Westminster has been on telly! I'm thrilled about that. It appeared on Ebay a few years back, looking quite rotten and a bit sad. Still shows as 2660cc because some idiot (perhaps when it was plate raped) put the previous four-cylinder A90 engine size. privatewire, Amishtat, taxi paul and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi paul Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Your wife won't have forgot how many cars. When she wants a new kitchen and you say you have no money. She will list all your cars and how much you have spent on them. For instance . If you have twenty pounds and your wife has five pounds. How much does your wife have?? No wrong answer. She has £25.00. Weaker sex my arse. Happy anniversary. The Moog, busmansholiday and clayts450 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amishtat Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 On my driving lessons in 1997 I used to pass a rural bungalow with a black FD Victor on the driveway which never seemed to move. Went along that stretch of road for the first time in some years about six months ago and remembered it, long gone of course and the bungalow now smartened up almost beyond recognition. Today I went to a local show (maybe four miles away) and just look what was there. Had a lovely chat with the owner who seemed pleased someone remembered it. I'm over the moon to actually see the thing properly after all this time. Full history from new, and it's had those wheels and seat covers since 1973! mrbenn, spike60, wuvvum and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNWeigh Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Tidying up the garden yesterday I found 4 Passat alloys , that I'd forgotten about. I bought some 17" R ones for my estate last September for £130. I did try to sell the 16"s on Gumtree at the time for £100, got lots of offers of £40 so kept them. Yesterday I washed them and put them on Gumtree for £130, a guy just picked them up , paid £130 didn't even try to knock me down. if I live to be a thousand I'll never understand women or buying and selling old cars and parts- no logic involved in either. dome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did mention he's been thinking of parting with it so I got his number. (Because, like most of us, what I really need right now is another old car..)
