NorthernMonkey Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 As my significantly better half has started a new temporary job for which she needs to commute and out of around the seven cars we own, only one is actually tested (and even that has a buggered gearbox) then the sensible* thing to do is go and buy another one. #autoshitelife Cavcraft, eddyramrod, skattrd and 22 others 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not today but soon, hopefully. Mo, I’ve no idea how your mind works but some intriguing suggestions there, keep up the good work. Sporty-can I just remind you that this is for my good lady to use as a daily. Not sure what you are suggesting about her. Burraston...been there, got the t-shirt. In actual fact, I’ve of the seven is a lovely low mileage ‘07 HDi Picasso. One careful owner, well specced and oh yes, a fecked turbo.
