Heikin Matsuda Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Hi, I think I've lurked long enough so time to break cover. I bought a Peugeot 309 from a lovely chap from this here parish last summer as it needed moving and i dont like to see cars with plenty of life left scrapped due to been undesirable or needing a bit of tlc . Obviously having a few too many cars and needing an 8 day week i haven't done much with it as yet. Ive also recently acquired my brothers old car, a 03 plate Mitsubishi carisma diesel which he gave me for nothing rather than it be scrapped. I cant help myself, i just cant say no, but nobody's perfect! Joey spud, AnnoyingPentium, Remspoor and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed a few* vehicles and for me to remember one van is remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsinthewelder Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Been down that way again today dropping an Aga off in Weston Super Mare which the boss convinced me to help with this morning.

Ted Eggs Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Hello. Long-time lurker, first-time poster here. I found this beige place via HubNut. For some reason, YouTube decided to radicalize* me by suggesting I watched a video of a long-haired, bespectacled gent test driving a Morris Marina around west Wales. Alas, there is no chod in my life today. That's unlikely to change for the foreseeable, so I take solace* following the fun* here. Currently I drive an F30 BMW 320d, which may provide its own excitement* in various expensive ways. If I had the space and skill I'd look at getting another Alfa 145 Cloverleaf or a last generation Toyota Celica (2ZZ instead of the 1ZZ I had).

Much as the 2ZZ is a bit special, the 1ZZ is better than some make out. The 1ZZ in my 03 MR2 has covered 123k, leaks and burns a bit of oil (TADTS) but still pulls like a train. It's a proper lively little thing when you wind it up, which is the way a sporty NA should be driven, obviously. Having said all that a 2ZZ in an MR2 is proper ASBO. I guess it's a bit more sensible in a Celica shell. Any photos of your old Celica? Ted Eggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedymeepmeep2 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Been meaning to do an intro for ages but been lurking and living my dreams of more shite through you all. Apart from the modern, I have a Dolomite 1500 SE with Coventry’s finest grey velour and wooden dash that hasn’t done enough miles / been working long enough for a few years. Life etc and a commute of 2 metres to the spare room since COVID means that I probably lack the needed incentive. I will continue to dream of 80s Vauxhall shite and have created a car sized space down the side of the house just in case....

GagaStan Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Greetings all! Time enough to get in on the action I thought. Joining you from the antipodes, the land of the Japanese grey import, Aotearoa New Zealand! Current fleet includes an ex-giffer 405 SRDT An ex-Japan Starlet, with such spec ~choices~ as A/C, leccy windows all round but a four speed manual Both shared my me and the other Mr GagaStan. Also present is a TGB 101s moped for commuting purposes. Plenty of other motors of varying quality had in the past, with a strong whiff of three-cylinder motoring. I don't think there's much that sounds better than a Suzuki Alto with a very mildly broken exhaust... especially when it needed thrashing to get up all the hills 'round here! I'm also a small-time licker of Kirby vacuums and Kenwood mixers. Love reading about all your escapades, chodspeed!
