LuxoBroke Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 @Eyersey1234 Thanks very much, its not too bad, it photographs well, it could really do with some paintwork, but I prefer it to be as it is and usable, rather than be mint and scared to take it out at all.

I prefer cars to be useable too and not so pristine they don't get used. The MGB is the same colour as one my mum's cousin's had about 25 years ago.

Popsicle Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hi everyone, I've been lurking far to long so thought It best to join in the fun. Nothing notable shite wise at the moment, just a high mileage diesel Zafira, Vectra diesel estate and an ungrateful hateful bastard of a Shogun, so all prime shite in a few years/or now depending of your point of view! I had a nice collection of tat a few years ago but life got in the way, but I'm thinking of having another go at it. High/lowlights: Mk1 Cavalier sportshatch Mk3 2.0 laser Capri Series 3 XJ6 Series 2 Daimler XJ6C - really regret letting this one go Series 2 XJ6 Vauxhall Senator 2.5 A2 Vauxhall Victor 2.3 FE Mk1 Fiesta And quite a few more but this is the most I've ever typed on a public forum so I'll stop, as I do have a habit of going on...........

Gag Halfrunt Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hello all, I'm Rob! I live in beautiful north east Scotland but I'm actually from Southport. Moved up here just over a year ago and I'm bloody loving it. I have a keen interest in the crushingly dull and outstandingly ordinary and would much rather own an Austin Allegro than anything fast and sporty. Anyway, nice to be here.

Surprisingly practical as well, no rear seats in mine, I've carted essentially another polo in the back minus the chassis and panels.

crad Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 evening all- been lurking for a while, made an account in feb and promptly forgot the password. currently drive the most wonderful renault clio with a mighty 1.2 litre engine propelling it along. also owned a honda civic areodeck for a month last year (almost a year ago actually), but didnt reallly enjoy it because it cost over 1k which is a little much for me lmao. the clio has been tastefully* modified, adding 50bhp Remspoor, motorpunk and Eyersey1234 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to a fellow 2smoker Hi Saabnut...Sorry for late reply...been away from site for a bit...The Bullnose is an ex-'john saab' from Worthing East Sussex. I've had her (named Camilla) for around ten years now. I would love to see your stroker. There are quite a few in Scotland I believe.

I loved the car but decided for once to be sensible, and said I would think about it rather than do my usual impetuous buy. By the time I decided to buy, John told me I had been beaten to it. Glad to see she still looks superb. If you decide to sell, please give me first refusal! Sadly I am away from home at the moment so do not have many pictures with me but my two stroker is a little different...

njic Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 What a beautiful Sonett (sorry if I have mis-spelt the name). I would love to have the stroker version like yours. From memory (and that doesn't say much) John told me that you brought a trailer down as well. Are you JW ? Can't remember what John said now. Keep well and I hope that we can talk soon.

Close, I am Nick W (TFatC on UKSaabs) and John is correct, I had a classic car garage in those days and I had just delivered a car to a customer in Brighton, hence the trailer. I really regret not buying your car at the time, it is filed as "one that got away". My brother lives in Crawley so maybe one day we can get Camilla and my Sonett together for back to back runs, the Sonett is "tweaked" so is very different from any other two stroke I have driven.

SteersWithThrottle Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Hello all o/ Arrived here via HubNut's yt channel, he's probably guilty for quite a bit of that... A little car history: The best value car I ever owned was a '94 205 1.4 CFI, £250 at the block, with a £40 fee. Ran it for 9 years, and the only non-consumables bill I had was £50 for a new gearbox end cover that had rusted through and was weeping oil. The worst value car I ever had was an '04 BMW 320 2.2 touring. Cost me two bags and conked in months with an "undiagnosable" engine fault. The most fun car I ever had was a '98 Celica GT, and with the 18" rims with Conti Sport Contacts it cornered unbelievably well, and it's where my forum nick comes from... it's also the only car that got me flashed, 37mph in a 30 zone, in 1st gear... that engine just loved to rev! The dullest car I ever had was an '06 Primera 1.8 petrol. The most interesting thing about it was the fog-bank it generated if the oil was topped up enough to make the oil level warning light go out. My current steed is an '07 Veccy CDTi 120bhp saloon. It was £800 a couple of years or so ago, and has been pretty good, though it seeps oil out of the pressure switch, a common issue I believe, and recently the gear selector rods fell off the ball joints, in 4th gear, which given I live in a hilly area caused a few moments of utter panic until I could get under the bonnet and cable-tie them back together. I've not yet had the courage to own an Alfa-Romeo, so according to Clarkson I'm not a true petrolhead. Some day maybe... My dream garage: '59 Caddy Coupe DeVille TA22 Celica GT R32 GT-R N1 Dolly Sprint E Type 4.2 Coupe I better stop, the list would go on for pages... Looking forward to getting to know some fellow petrolheads here! Saabnut and BlankFrank 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
