So it was ok in the end?

[Jim Bell]

Evening gents. 

Just back home safe. 

What an odd car buying experience. The seller was very nice but didn't really seem to know the craic with the the car despite "doing most of the work himself", which quickly changed to "the last owner actually done the work, and there's no reciepts".

Fair enough, the listing never said there was so I looked at it with my eyes, drove it at length, then made a decision on buying it. 

The crack with the clutch was that "ages ago after a 200 mile drive the clutch went to the floor twice but it's never done it again since. And the garage said they'd fixed it."

So literally, fuck knows. Good on him for mentioning it at all. Clutch seems to work fine, we took it out for an hour and he said "don't pay for eeet til yer happy wee eet"

So I punted it round rural Yorkshire and it seemed right enough. 

Chipped him down a bit on a few things and ended up with enough off that it made sense (to me) to just roll the dice and steal the rice. 

[Jim Bell]

So what is it?

 

It's a time hole, etc.........

[Tamworthbay]

So where are the pics?

[xtriple]

Do we know what this 'race car' is yet? I have read the thread but my attetion span is....

[Jim Bell]

Who said another Bini?

I owe you a Twix.

[jumpingjehovahs]

Oh a stripped out Cooper Yes..

Are you going to re-install the missing interior?

[Jim Bell]

No headlining, no carpet. The rest of the interior is piled in my kitchen ATM. 

Just the front seats and dash in at the moment (rest out for ahem cleaning)

 

Not this car (for legal reasons) but a similar one, has a -17% charger pulley, big intercooler and a Milktek? Stainless exhaust. That's what I can see with my eyes. Remapped? Not as far as I'm aware. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And it FUCKING FLIES.

Bits are ten a penny for these at the moment so doubt you will struggle to find anything you need. Looks a cracking buy.

I don't want to make you look silly or owt man, but it clearly said Race Car in the eBay listing. So how could it not be?

[Jim Bell]

I know you all will be worrying, so yes, put your mind to rest.

I DID get my Gregg's in the end. 

[Saabnut]

One random please.

[Jim Bell]

 

 

Second Pez shot because it costs exactly £20 to drive from Huddersfield to home. 

 

 

And home. 

 

Did I mention it's fast?

 

 

Matted for now.

There are no trophies on my mantle piece.

You have been told an untroof.

[Jim Bell]

You said you were 'fucking' John Cleland. Which, I suppose you might well be. But it's unlikely. 

[Tamworthbay]

Pics or it never happened

[320touring]

I said 'John Fucking Cleland'

Nice try though..

 

Seriously though, looks a decent wee motor if you can get carpets for it:)

[robthedonkey]

And will it be staying as race car or getting interior back? 1st dibs when you get bored of the drone....

Best colour for rs arly bini too

I'm undecided on future plans at the moment. It's perfectly civilised on the motorway. It's louder than a car with an interior and a quiet exhaust, but nowhere near as loud as I expected. 

[robthedonkey]

Just inbox me after Xmas I'll taje it lol you'll have had enough by then....

How DARE you suggest not everything on eBay is exactly what it says it is.

You take that back or I'll set the Internet Lawyer on you (the one who was advertising on Gumtree)
