Father In Law's Facebook bargains and what he 'barried' next!

Er....does this have auto wipers?

 

My old B4 Passat used to confuse new drivers by having one of those fancy programmable intermittent wipes that almost no-one knows how to use.

I think you are right but in my defence the sunstrip was massive. I will have to look into how the programmable intermittent wipers work, they sound interesting.

Update for car as it stands, he bought a cambelt kit including waterpump of evilbay and we were supposed to be doing that this weekend. Instead of this happening I find out just now! he sold the car on Thursday for I think £300 (but I will need to confirm this) and they have fitted the kit and not had overheating so far.

He is currently borrowing a spare car we have in the family; a pug 306 sw auto and he has already cut holes in the door trims to fit better speakers and a new stereo according to a friend!!

An update of sorts the water pump was the issue as new owner tried to sell it back to him. He declined and bought a nice silver vectra.

Well he has been busy ruining it already as he has re colour coded it blue. Wonky irmisher boot badging bonus.

[Andyrew]

This thread just keeps on giving.

[davehedgehog31]

Good grief.

[louiepj]

The interior is now being blued up as well and he has added neon lights to footwells and underneath... For added fire hazard they are connected with household 'choc blocks'.

And its not a 2.2 Sri but a 2.0 turbo now because turbo is better and was done by last owner as a show car project and did look a nice and tidy car till about 3 hours into new ownership.

[Pat Earrings]

What the actual hell.

[junkyarddog]

Some people shouldn't be allowed a car.

 

Comedy gold though,what some folk willingly plaster onto them!

[Captain Furious]

Just wow

[The Moog]

Sure fire entry for thread of year ...

[sierraman]

Jesus on a bike. Where is he finding this stuff?

 

All the barried up shit stick to it, what's he thinking... Those blue spoilers etc look like the product of severe boredom.

[HillmanImp]

SHIT. THE. BED.

 

Just needs a 'Free Tommy Robinson' poster scribbled on some A4 paper with a marker pen in the rear window and the Vauxhall cycle of life is complete.

[HMC]

Has he got any more plans in the pipeline for it?

 

Great thread

[stuboy]

has he painted the mirrors blue?

You switch the wipers to intermittent then switch them off again. After the interval you want between sweeps (i.e. when the screen is wet again) you turn them back to intermittent. You can have anything from an instant to 30 seconds or possibly even more between sweeps.

 

I think I can see interval adjustment on the stalk though, which means this car won't have that kind of relay.

WE HAVE A WINNER.

Oh God, no. Please tell me this isn't an Edition 100?

Number plate almost phonetically spells Yuck. Y-gug

 

(At least it does in my dyslexic mind)

Is his name Barry?

Or for the French readers, Jacky?

One man's hobby is another man's mental illness.

Has he ever been sectioned?

Tested for anything?

Is he taking LSD?

On some sorry of spectrum, where he gets obsessive about ...... oh shiny....?

Does he tell his insurance about the modifications?

Does he hold down a full time job?

[jon.k]

This is excellent!

[bub2006]

Oh God, no. Please tell me this isn't an Edition 100?

I think it's still a 2.2 but with badges now. Could you still get edition 100s on the facelift? Only seen them around 03/04 model years

Also, do you have his account number, sort code and the 3 digits off the back of his card?

[overrun]

WTF is an Edition 100?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

My god this guy seriously needs help, what an array of shit

[sierraman]

Theres shite and then there's shit.

[Guest Hooli]

Good grief!

 

It's making me think of this

 

[Slartibartfast]

This is the best thing I've read for months.

 

 

Bonus points for a burner copy of the dvd I found in the side pocket?

 

That bootleg says "The Fast and the Furious" but has the cars from 2 Fast 2 Furious as the image.

[louiepj]

He is the step-father in law and at times just goes a bit off the rails mentally but he didn't pass his car driving test till he was 30 and just cannot leave a car alone. He is between contracts as he puts it job wise.
