To be fair, these are actually a decent car to own. Well done winner. 

[Kiltox]

Incredibly useful things and moderately reliable

[Jim Bell]

After a quick blatt about I would rank it 2.5 out of 5 shits.

 

Drives pretty well and handles ok. The ride is lovely and comfy and the partially attached drivers seat is lovely and supportive.

 

Its like driving a big glass greenhouse which aids low speed manoeuvres and makes the bus as simple as cheese to park. The car can stall off the power at low speed but restarts with a quick twist of the go go peg.

 

Brakes really well. Pulls up straight and prompt considering the size and bulk of the bugger.

 

I tried kicking its tits in off the line but theres really no point. Its a 1.6 8v. Its not fast and its not meant to be. It gets up to road speed well enough and feels very stable and planted bobbling along in on a straight course.

 

The gearbox (i think) whines like a small to medium sized dog thats been locked in a rear yard in the rain.

 

Is it shite?

 

Yes.

 

Is it bad?

 

No, not at all. Ive taxed far worse.

 

Can I think of a better way to spend four english pounds?

 

No I cannot. Its the best way to spend £4 ever. Bucketeer even washed it and drove it for hours in the middle of the night to aid its transit north.

 

Where else in the internet would you get help like that?

 

For four pounds.

 

 

I give everyone involved a Shitpeas score of 15/10 and hope everybody elses mojo is boosted a bit by proxy.

6, 10 and 28 pliz thankyoo.

 

nah just how much plz

[busmansholiday]

I have to sadly report that this, in the very same colour is currently Mrs BMH dream car. Thank god she doesn't know about this site !

[Scruffy Bodger]

The seat is probably a fairly easy,cheap fix but does involve removing the cover, an angle grinder and replacing a pin which has snapped. Did a mates one last year.

[Faker]

These... although a bit grim... are great yokes (especially diesel ones... sorry)...

 

You've a part time van, and a great tow car now, and to be fair it looks to be in decent shape. Health to enjoy

I'm home, safe and sound in JRG luxury.

 

The Picarso wasn't  a bad steer, and covered over 300 miles this morning without missing a beat. I can now say I've driven one, but I don't want one.

Someone call the Vatican, a 1500's hooded monk has possessed this car, exorcism required asap.

Needs drawing to aid my imagination-less mind.

INTERESTING FUN FACT! Using the gearbox casing off one of these and some bits off a peugeot 306 gearbox you can build a 6 speed gearbox and put it in a Citroen AX.

In fact let us know when you're bridging it because my mate might want the casing, he's into that sort of thing.

[somewhatfoolish]

 

It has to be one of these

 

Octopussy (1983)

• BMW 5 Series sedans with police paint (pursuer)
• BMW motorcycle with police paint
• Mercedes 250 SE, black (Bond’s car)
• Mercedes, black (Kamal Khan’s car)
• Alfa Romeo GTV, dark gray metallic (Bond’s car)
• VW bug, white (Bond’s car for a time)
• Rolls Royce, black (Kamal Khan’s car)

 

Was there not a nailbitingly tense tuktuk chase? Not to mention a pursuit by elephant.

 

Edit to add; not forgetting the 'croco-sub'!

[purplebargeken]

Most cool mode of transportation said no-one, ever.

 

I like it tbh.

Looks a bit like Senator Palpatine. If you squint.

For £4, you’ve unlocked the possibility of being like a Ronnie. Not the Ronnie who made this joke though...

Thread delivered.. Fuck me that is hanging!

I see nothing wrong with this car, well worth the £4:00!

In fact that gearbox is extremely sort after by the Saxo/106/AX guru's, it can be beefed up by way of numerous gearsets from various citroen/Peugeot vehicles including the 205Gti 1.9 gearing which i have fitted to my 106 Track car. They must be the TU5 engine though i.e. 1.6 8V petrol

Well done winning this shitter, hours of slow a$$ motoring

[SierraMikeHotel]

Did you know, you can fit more Resusci-Annies in one of these than any other car of their era?

[inconsistant]

Im gonna guess a Mazda MX3.

[John F]

Did you know, you can fit more bloated, scowling benefits claimants and their revolting sticky children in one of these than any other car of their era?

 

FTFY

[SierraMikeHotel]

I was a revolting sticky teenager at the time acksherly.

[Saabnut]

Glad to see this is still doing the rounds of the shiters. It is not a bad car at all (no, I don't want it back!) and is in really good order underneath now the usual rust spots on the sills have been plated if not prettily. My MOT man reckoned there is several years left in it. I THINK the whining is not actually the gearbox, but the intermediate bearing on the long driveshaft. I have absolutely no proof of this, but after much thought and inactivity this was the conclusion I came to!

[Supernaut]

I learned to drive in a 2.0HDi one of these in doom blue. It was an SX model, so it had a CD player, air con and front fogs!

 

It was a decent old bus. I took it 4-up with all our luggage to Fort William and back, and it averaged over 50mpg and a decent speed too. Some other friends in a hired Golf 1.4 were struggling to keep up!

 

PJ51 NXL, according to the MOT history it's long dead.

 

Even at 4 years old it had a whine on the over-run in 3rd gear. Both cars I've owned with 2.0HDi lumps have done the same though (a 306 and a Xantia).

[Jim Bell]

The whine sounds like a harrowing wail this morning. The car may not be taking well to the North.

[John F]

That's your neighbours, they've just seen your sticky bastard carrier.

[UltraWomble]

Someone once said that these are the modern day Morris 1000.

 

EVERYFECKINGWHERE. But suddenly one day they wont be. As no one loves them enough to care.

 

Im on Picasso Number 2 and think its spiffing. Hauls arse, 38MPG from the 1.6 (16v though) and no body will want to steal it unless they have given up on life.

 

I love mine to bits. Well done.
