robinmasters Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Such a nice design. I've always thought I preferred the S1's more angular front, but this has really grown on me. Oh, and also the fact that I'm photographing my car at 3am, because of course I am. J W Pepper, Popsicle, DSdriver and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just went up to Appletreewick near Bolton Abbey for a test camp to see if everything worked. Close enough to home if it went tits up. Only things to change though that we identified are the table is a bit wobbly and we need a better sleeping bag. Electric worked (twin leisure batteries), gas worked and didn't kill us (I've got an alarm in anyway), slept all 3 of us in the van okay, with MrsImp and I in the back and ImpJr across the front seats. Only issue was I drank too much so snored a bit apparently. However it works okay as a camper. Will hopefully get some use out of it over the summer. Wouldn't normally let ImpJr use the telly when we we're away, I'd make him go out and play but as it was our first time and it was such a bugger to fit I let him. Also managed a couple of spots. And saw this in the morning when I was getting comically overcharged for gas. Looks like you had a great time. We scrapped the sleeping bags and use duvets and undersheets, much nicer to sleep with and works well even on the boat where the beds are very narrow.

puddlethumper Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 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. loserone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverFolkUs Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 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! myglaren, Remspoor, Dyslexic Viking and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dome Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 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!

Spottedlaurel Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 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.
