For Sale OMG GGG Fucking Fourbanger Führerwagen - Now Force Ale again!

[richardmorris]

Is his heater still on permafullblast?

I’ve not heard, so he’s probably died of heatstroke!

According to this item if you own an old Mercedes or Renault you have the most reliable cars in the world so it looks like Junkman never has to buy another car again.

Obviously when it says old Renault I doubt very much it’s referring to a 2002 Renault Laguna Mk2 IDE from experience.

[Junkman]

Speaking of underdeveloped countries, I spent my last day at work (before I go on holidays) in one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also saw a garage the likes of which you wouldn't find in Africa anymore.

 

 

But parking cost two Quid. In the middle of nowhere. The mind boggles from such a degree of pure piss take.

They’re both 190s in he pic.

I kinda want to go there just to park on the road in front all day.

How’s that lovely old Mercedes going junkman.

After seeing those pictures I’ve decided once I’ve got sometime off I’m doing a road trip in one of my old 90s BMW chod.

 

My girlfriends eldest daughter is on a road trip from Hastings to the Orkney islands but she’s doing it wrong though is she isn’t using her old 25 year old lime green polo for the journey and she might go on the odd motorway once in awhile which should be banned.

 

I couldn’t think of a better car to do a road trip in than that big lazy 4 pot merc so when’s the roffle.

[Junkman]

Well, as you can see in the other thread, a recent road trip was done with the 405.

The Benz appears to be a good one, though. I think I was very lucky and the seller was very honest.

Sadly yes... despite changing the control unit... so we have to go through everything again, methodically, until the root cause has been diagnosed...

From the description it sounds like a physical problem with the valves,

[Junkman]

Have you contacted Mr Conelrad?

He failed to fix the problem in the GGG 300D, so he is kind of an eggspurt in that field.

[Junkman]

Yesterday, the GGG decided to do a road trip. Which is a sensible thing to do since this kind of weather can't be taken for granted.

Despite I left Conrad completely free choice of WEPON, he opted for the Führerwagen. I reluctantly agreed under the condition that he is doing the driving.

 

We stopped at a pub.

 

 

 

It had one of those Hardly Dangerous motorcycles parked outside.

 

 

 

Oh, and this:

 

 

 

Of course some dolt had ruined it.

 

[Junkman]

There were red phone boxes.

 

 

 

And red tractors.

 

 

 

And another pub.

 

[Junkman]

There was a road.

 

 

A bridge.

 

 

More road.

 

[Junkman]

Steaks!

 

 

[Junkman]

More road.

 

 

[Junkman]

We came to a town.

 

 

There we did civilised things, like buying essential survival equipment such as fags, etc.

[Junkman]

Then we left town.

 

 

 

We saw a sheep shagger.

 

 

 

And another one.

 

 

 

You might guess what we did here.

 

[Junkman]

The road got twisty.

 

 

 

No, really.

 

 

 

And yeah, that was pretty much it.

 

Boring, isn't it?

[richardthestag]

more things open that when GGG visited ROI though

[Junkman]

Oh, what was there was not only open, but downright humming.

[Junkman]

The FFF developed a creaking noise. Upon closer* inspection, it appears to come from the front ball joints.

But since it was only audible at low speeds, we decided to alleviate the problem by driving faster.

[JeeExEll]

Junkman what happened to the P6 V8 after the ROI trips?

[Junkman]

I got it in exchange for LBJ and some Kippers. After the tour of Oirelant, loike, the cars were reverse swapped.

LBJ was subsequently sold to fund the R16 and this car is still owned by who owned it all along.

It spends most of its time at the Rover Sanctuary.

[JeeExEll]

Do the hauntings continue to this day?

[richardthestag]

talking of 4cyl R16 and hauntings this popped up in my flikr feed while I was idly surfing this afternoon.

 

and the poster is from the county that shall not be named in this thread anyway

 

https://flic.kr/p/28FrHYj

 

Well I nearly shat myself until I looked closer at the reg

 

but it is TX and does have "Bidet"

[Junkman]

Do the hauntings continue to this day?

 

No, they completely went away with the possessed Rover bought in the unspeakable county.

[Junkman]

It's official now, der ball joint ist fucked.

Sadly on my Mopf that means the entire lower wishbone has to be changed.

 

Scheiße mit Ei.

 

I hate modernz.

[junkyarddog]

Get it changed asap!

 

They have a habit of collapsing at low speeds!

 

Seen it on a couple of occasions!

That will be fine then, never goes at slow speeds.
