Went to pick up keys to flat. Took sis_Sterling with me. Then after visiting flat making plans, went for a stroll into town. Found a charity shop and took a nose inside, instantly I found a set of 1:43 West German made models Mercedes cars. The set consists of a Black 190, Silver 300CE W124 and a Red W126 500SE. Well chuffed. Sadly I managed to break a bit of the grille of the W126, though I reckon it can be easily glued back on.

[MarvinsMom]

blimey charlie what dash is that in, and does buck rogers know that you are driving his car?

 

(it is fab by the way.....)

[Ghosty]

Judging by the steering wheel badge, is that a Pizza (sorry)?

[skattrd]

Beaten to it, but dugong, is that your Piazza? please tell me it's back on the road.

[dugong]

Yes. And no.

 

It's another Piazza altogether, one the IPTOC partially restored but needed gone in a hurry. D888 XJM ended up being taken to Belgium to hop-up a Triumph Spitfire. The other Matterhorn Silver example you see here is another car I tried and failed to get back on the road. The latter ended up getting stripped for most of its running gear and interior. I'm trying to reduce my outgoings and storage is very high up that list. It's sat in a Bootle lock up for the best part of three years - the Scouse Team of Excellence and I had to move it fairly quickly after a storage arrangement in Birkenhead turned sour.

 

When the V5 returns back from the DVLA, Piazza 2 (referred to as HUL after the last three letters of its numberplate) will go to the scrapper. It ended up as a project because of a bent cros smember, rust in the rear arches and a dead turbo caused by a missing banjo bolt and generally careless fitting.

 

It has a near-perfect labrador beige interior, so if I change my mind and fancy a Worther's Original cabin, I now have the option to swap. I also have a pair of stainless steel exhaust back boxes, about a million trim clips and fasteners, a spare factory tool kit and a full set of UK Turbo wheels.

Perfik diff donor for manta innit, only kidding I can't remember the last time I saw one of these in the real world

Fake story, nothing could survive that, not even a cat.

[MarvinsMom]

that is the best way of getting rid of VAG shit I've seen, so far.

[Coprolalia]

 

 

 

I particularly enjoyed

 

"They said the damage to her car was around 12,000 euros (£8,600).

 

There was no damage to the tank"

[twosmoke300]

I thought it was a yaris

[Mr_Bo11ox]

[philibusmo]

I hate the Volkswagen Yaris, Seat Echo or Skoda Vitz or whatever that VAG shite is.

 

AUDI DRIVERS BUMMED MY DOG.

 

EDIT: this looks a little more deranged than I had hoped since it has ended up on another page.

[cort16]

It's not impossible both my old shite heaps could be running and roadworthy this week.

[MarvinsMom]
