Sold Suzuki Baleno GSR

[dollywobbler]

So what hes's basically saying is:  TEN STARS!!!

 

What I'm basically saying is that North Shields is an utterly shit place to test a hot hatchback. It's like testing a pair of running shoes at a wet Glastonbury.

[Jim Bell]

I would pay to see that shoe review.

First one I've watched and you say not one of your better vids.

Where's the Merican car one ?

I keep ignoring this thread thinking it's about a modern motorbike. Then I read it, am surprised it's a car, close the thread and immediately forget that it exists and go back to assuming it's a modern motorbike...

What hes basically saying is that he also wants to see Dollywobbler reviewing running shoes in a field comprised only of mud, and drug residue.

When's the next Crail?

[Noel Tidybeard]

i reckon the spaceship is another that can crack 0-60 in two gears! coincidentally an 1.8 also

 

*EDIT* just tried locked in 2nd indicated 30 is 3000 revs redline is 6800rpm

[Jim Bell]

When's the next Crail?

I think I may have overestimated my cubic capacity and ability. Ill still race your v6 though.

In theory, they should be pretty evenly matched! In reality, the Rover's gearbox would probably explode.

...or the extended use of V6 soundtrack would make wobbly tousers explode :mrgreen:

Durham dales next time then!

[Jim Bell]

Well ladies and gentlemen,

 

After the great success of JohnK's japanese sprots car roffle, here comes a chance for all the losers to become winners again.

 

A lovely .................................................................... hatchback. Sorry, I drifted off there.

 

Look at it and youll forget it almost immediately, drive it and youll remember it a bit longer.  As long as you dont just drive it around 30mph zones in North Shields (see Hubnut Vid).

 

In short, this is a mid 120s bhp annonymous hatchback that weighs as much as a pair of sandshoes and will pull a standing quarter in less time than it takes to have a decent piss.

 

Figure hugging Tombstone seats without the stigma of a Porsche badge.

 

Internal boot and fuel cap release handles.

 

CD player with AUX input.

 

Electric windows.

 

Power steers.

 

Electrical mirrows.

 

2 keys.

 

MOT  July 2019.

 

90k miles.

 

 

Good tyres.

 

 

Earlier for sale thread available here:

 

http://autoshite.com/topic/32393-2001-suzuki-baleno-gsr-%C2%A3550/page-1

 

 

Whats bad? couple of arch surface blebs, fuel gauge intermittent but trip meter works, arb bush advised on last mot. Reasuring clonk confirms that this is still required at some point.

 

 

All I've done is add an extra key, floormats and let it stretch its legs.

 

 

Price per poke is £7.50.

 

 

Location is North East England near Durham/Newcastle.  Near bus/rail/plane stations if required.

I would hope so, most mammals take 21 seconds to piss https://www.livescience.com/46625-most-mammals-take-21-seconds-to-pee.html

[pandamonium]

Mot July 2018? If its 2019, I'll take a ticket...

Well spotted.  Ammended for accuracy.

 

You get the luckiest number.

I am nothing if not accurate.

 

I reckon if you could get a 0-60 out in HALF A PISS if you really go for it.

[Dick Longbridge]

Number 14 plea.....zzzzzzzzz

Edit: your insurers must have a dedicated phone line/bar stool/printer for you. Haven’t Wales phoned up and asked if you’re a dealer of the motor variety?

[Jim Bell]

No but insurers do. Then they wont even quote me a decent price for trade insurance!!

[Dick Longbridge]

That's pretty crap. Swines.

[aldo135]

3 13 and 30 please!

[Jim Bell]

Just in case you were wondering if these cars had a local rally pedigree, let me put your mind at rest. The answer is all the yes.

 

 

Can do air.

 

 

 

Can Gravels.

 

 

 

Can darkness.

 

 

Such sprots. Many quick.

[loserone]

I drove this around a bit last night and can confirm that I meant to give Jim a shout to hold off on this, as it's quite fun. I had TEH BUYERS REMORSE the night before, when I drove it home back to back with driving home from a camping holiday in Wensleydale in the Legacy.  

 

At the same time I'm more skint than I thought I was, so as long as it doesn't sell out like JohnK's Prelude I'm happy.  Please continue to buy tickets, albeit at a sedate pace please.

 

Edited to add: This is technically mine, according to Wales, and my insurer charged me just shy of £70.  £20/month to tax.  Cheap spare car, really!

[Mike D]

Number 8 please

[Tickman]

A random number for me please.

[djoptix]

Kinell. Go on then, 18 and 45 please (I've gone one up from my usual 17 and 44 so as to avoid winning a 605 and this in the same week - can you imagine the horror)

[Supernaut]

A random, please!
