An orange doblo , now that WOULD be fit!

There's a scruffy blue one bombing around your ends - BIL works at Beamish and has a fancy piece out in the sticks.

I have, but it was at university and she and her mate were both well into it.

I was given a minor concussion by a purple dildo whilst crashing in the halls at Oxford Brooks after seeing erstwhile British agit-rockers Pitchshifter, supported by Lostprophets.

And you can't even pull the knob off. You have to cut it off. Like some obscene German sex canibal.

Please show us all photos of you cutting your knob off and replacing it with a rubber one.... You can PM these in a brown plain envelope if you want...

Orange doblo looking mighty fine. 
 

I once saw what was under those covers about 15 years ago and they were well tasty, but I can’t remember what they are now. It was a little 60’s Alfa or 60’s lotus elite or something but I haven’t seen them moved since. 
 

Anyway, clearly a winner.

Well. Car continues to car. 

It's been treated to kindness by way of a fluids and filters service, a spare key, and premium brand wiper blades.

Boring.  Though I do take rather too great a pleasure in seeing the wipers sweep clearly and silently across the screen after the juddery smeary old ones were removed and  replaced. Cheap thrills.

 

Parked it next to this other one which was sad because it's sat still as an advertisement hoarding.

Filled it up for the second time, the 1st tank calculations were lost when the battery was disconnected to do the egr.

It's averaging 55 ish mpg local toddling.  Be interesting what's possible mpg wise on the run to Scotoshite. 

 

Doing my man maths, I now have invested into the car (including purchase) in excess of its market value. So I'd best keep it. 

 

It does car very well but is indescribably non-remarkable.

They're good cars and up there with Yaris's for OMGBORINGCAR.

Have you done the cabin filter? The one in Mrs the Princess's Panda was caked in mud.

I was under the impression that only the air con equipped ones had a cabin/pollen filter @Craig the Princess but I'll have a look. Where abouts are they?

Ah, maybe because hers has air con.

Behind the cover by your left foot in the drivers seat. At the back of the heater gubbins.

Good to see the Panda going strong. It seems completely* sorted and no obvious reason for it to give trouble for a while, quite a good result I’d say and worth the investment. You’ll surely reap the savings in running costs pretty rapidly anyways.

Yes, only fitted to a/c models.  This is the mess I pulled from Mrs CtP's yesterday:

Bloody hell. Makes me happy I haven't got one!

That's grim with a capital G.

These 169 Pandas are getting harder than find now in a condition worth buying. I’ve viewed a couple now that are only fit for scrap..... 

Yours looks great ?

Cheers man. It's been up on the ramp for a peep of the underside and it looks great all round. Just keep the oil clean and whatnot and should last forever* (famous last words)

One neg is a bit of front bumper paint loss caused by the old £5 00 jet wash and wipe, which is a shame because paint wise the car was pretty great. 

Not worth attempting to improve or repair as it looks like more will fall off at next clean so I'll just stare at it and lament the days gone when the paint was UNPECKABLE.

Stick some lacquer or clear nail varnish on it to stop the edges lifting further, IMO.

Top tip. I'll raid the Missus's cosmetics pouch and see if she's got any. Cheers man.
