Cavcraft 2021: More Italian slow shite.

[Cavcraft]

Back, by pub(l)ic demand. This is utterly fantastic (in a really, really bad way) and was used to drive from Kent to North Wales on a regular basis quite recently. There any many icings in this cake, not the least of which is a new personal best of what looks like a pair of used knickers in the boot. There was a decent haul of £1.47 in cash, plus a screwdriver and a Mumford & Sons CD. I know nothing of them other than I think they're possibly some sort of 'hip' hipster type band, in which case I may introduce the screwdriver to it.

Bit of fuel roulette, no pez stations for a good few miles on the way home and the gauge was barely moving off empty, so coasted it down hills and went in the opposite direction for fuel where 4% of the cost of the car was spend on very little juice. One tyre had about 6psi in it, so 10% of the cost of the fuel was spent at the air machine. MOT'd until December and legit to drive, 18 miles home was fun. It's actually incredibly relaxed revs wise, you could bosh it into top doing 30, or just under, and it didn't seem to spy it's arse over that.

Perhaps unlikely to see another MOT, it's fate is probs best served as  town/local commuting car or garage door blocker.

 

*Edit: the passenger door mirror glass didn't really move, got home to find that a self-tapper was holding the casing together, but just in the way enough to not be able to move the glass.

Eww. I can smell that interior from here.

[timolloyd]

The boot shot looks like the morning after a crazy night: random knickers, ice cream wrapper, lots of straw

[busmansholiday]

Where do you find such gems?

I once bought a Ford Puma with a ladies urine sample in the glove box...

True story.

[Tenmil Socket]

I don't know what's worse, this or the Picasso?

'a pair of used knickers in the boot '

Probably worth more than the car to someone ?

[SRi05]

Fucking hell. that's grim ? Well bought !

[Fumbler]

That interior looks repulsive and the boot looks like a farm. Apart from that, car looks gr8 m8. Great buyage.

[trigger]

I suddenly feel very itchy!

[Cavcraft]

The seller was ace (you would be if you wanted it away from your house) and even came and picked me up. Bought blind off eBay, half tempted to jet wash and buff it then sort the interior, just for the hell of it. The trollies might go in the post to the gobshite who didn't pay for an item I had on eBay a couple of months ago.

How do you know it was a lady’s urine sample? No, wait, don’t tell me, on second thoughts I’d really much rather not know.

[Tenmil Socket]

Name on the bottle perhaps?

Nah, screw that, find some photo of a lovely looking lady, create a Facebook account under the name of Beatrice Golightly and advertise the aforementioned 'worn panties' with some  Barbara Cartland (not the dog) prose on Marketplace for 100 quid. You'll get no 'last price, M9s' I assure* you.

[Split_Pin]

Well played man. 

My Megane was bogging inside when I got it, I found some human scabs.

[greengartside]

Are the knickers used?

 

Asking for a friend*

That's nothing compared to Hammond's BMW 325i!

Dave_Lee_Cavland doesn't like rain

 

 

Fear not though, inside_dog, you can stay in the house. Meanwhile, outside...

Half an hour L8RZ...

 

 

(Only had two wheel trims, hopefully some random others in shed).

 

Behold the inconspicuous* washer bottle repair just discovered...

 

Emptied the boot (wearing disposable gloves) and may vacuum the interior, if it ever stops raining.

A Saxo with a pair of used knickers in the back? During my college years in the early 2000's that was the dream of every Saxo driving lad!

[chaseracer]

If they're 13s, I've still got the grim set of Poundland specials that came off the 205.  Yours if you need 'em.

[Cavcraft]

Ta M8, they're 14s though but much appreciated.

Took a while for me to spot the "graffiti".

?

[chaseracer]

Meanwhile, in west Baltimore Chester...

"...red tops... got them red tops here... a'ight..."

[red5]

Man alive, that's rank.

[chaseracer]

You should've seen it BEFORE he cleaned it!

[Cavcraft]

Last Puma: Gone.

Kia: Gone.

 

ML: Gone.

 

That's leaves two cars (Galaxy, Saxo) and three scooters. Oh, and now this...

 

It's probably worse than it looks in the picture and ran out of tax in 1982. They were pretty shit when new and this hasn't improved with age, but it turns over and vendor reckons it'll go on easy start.
