Agreed. I've got an early one and my ex has a later one like in your pic. Fun things.

Is this for sale yet? :D

 

Saw a ropey high mileage diesel one for sale locally yesterday for cheap, was tempted to bin off the Panda.

Everythings for sale man but have no current wish to sell it. Its really nice having a big comfy car with air con on hand and me and the missus have been fighting over it a bit. Her Focus and the new Suzuki have barely been used by comparison.

I reckon it's a perfect long-termer for you.

 

Possibly dull, but that's part of it's appeal

Yeah I have no complaints at all at the moment. Does all the things.

Well the only thing to report from the Avensis is that the drivers mirror glass fell off, so I stuck another one on.

ToMM embarrassingly devoid of 'spontaneous trim/parts ejection'...

 

It has a full complement of everything the little yellow fellahs attached :)

Feature of note.

The EML (which lives above the airbag light) doesn't light up with the ignition. Not sure if it's meant to but I would guess it should.

Let's see if there's any interest in a Roffle then

 

Today's STAR PRICE is a early 21st century Toyota Avensis 1.8 petrol hatchback car.

 

Mot March 19. Check the history. It's encouraging.

 

Just under 100k on the mile counter

 

5 Spanish waiters on the floor.

Touching cloth.

Steel wheels with cable ties trims.

Radio, tape AND CD player.

Non-sunroof rally shell.

Almost an estate car space-wise.

Returning 40mpg local driving atm. Much better on a run (45-50 ish?!).

Electric fronts. Windy backs.

Electric marrows.

Pas obviously. Abs too obviously too. Bags of air all over the interior.

Air con recently regassed just in time for winter.

Computer ma Bob showing range, av mpg, live mpg, ext temp, av speed etc.

 

No cruise.

 

It's brown.

 

Recently had a front and a rear wheel bearing. Comes with another front but not required ATM. Barry Cade did the rear drop links at last mot. Iirc cam belt and water pump done by him too (my memory is terrible sorry).

 

Drives grand.

 

Two keys.

 

Read the thread.

 

Location is North East England as ever. NE34 postcode. Been to the Nurburgring and back this year so hop in and drive anywhere.

 

£7.50 a go.
