Shitting in the shallow end. *Arse friends Electric*

[Jim Bell]

Lifted the shitty old universal thick rubber mats up and was amazed at how fresh the carpets actually are.

 

 

 

 

Also noted that the thick rubber mat was robbing the throttle pedal of its last portion of travel.

We can't have that.

 

Out the old thick universal mats came, and some old SLK ones are in there till I can find something more period and in keeping. And rubber.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know I probably go on a bit much about floor mats, and for that I do apologize.

[Crusty Sills]

18 and 15 when you roffle!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a week's time!!!

[paulscavalier]

I like that. I remember the Renault 19 in the btcc in 1993. They only were used in 1993 but they weren't half bad

[balford]

Passed my test in a 19 Chamade 2.0D, non-turbo naturally. Impossible to stall, about the engine's only redeeming quality. Had leccy windows and central locking long before they became the norm though. Possibly why I've been attracted to Frenchies since.

[Jim Bell]

Ran the 19 up to the Chollerford AS meet today, via Morpeth and Bellingham. It had some hooning and a long stretch on the dual carriageway. Drove great all the way and I don't think it's even been that heavy on the juice.

 

 

Hypermarket Warrior.

 

 

 

 

I topped it before I set off and we've had that many miles on that much pez. Not doing too badly. Be interesting to see what the maths are on a full tank.

 

 

 

 

Nyc 2 dive.

 

 

 

 

Speed filth.

Two randoms please. <3

what does the gauge that isn't the speedo, tacho, temperature or fuel do?

 

measures rectangles on an arbitrary scale by the looks of it?

Theres a video of it further up the thread. Its an Oil Level gauge. It tells you your oil level at position 2 on the ignition, then turns off when you start it, as there wont be a measurable level of oil in the sump with the motor running.

[tobyd]

bit of a curiosity but saves wear and tear on the dipstick i suppose.

Yeah, I'd never seem one in real life so thought it was worth mentioning. A useless french feature that never caught on.

[Jim Bell]

 

 

So what do you do on a Sunday when there's nothing on the telly?

 

eBay right?

 

RIGHT?!

[Jim Bell]

Clickedy click.

 

Drums fingers on table.

 

 

Winces.

 

 

[loserone]

Can I give people clues and see how long it takes, Jim?

[loserone]

Ah, given it away already!

[Tamworthbay]

What is it this time?

[Jim Bell]

So I'll be off collectineering this week. Cheers to you pricks for putting links to tempting old toilet in the eBay tat thread.

 

Probably a totally I'll advised purchase for about a thousand reasons, but the masochist in me would not be held back.

[Jim Bell]

Can I give people clues and see how long it takes, Jim?

Yeah if you like.

[mrbenn]

You've bought a car for £58? I bet it'll be fine*

 

 

 

*massively broken

[The Moog]

Whoop .... Back in the game... Old shit peas is here....

 

£58 ... That's less than a couple of private dances in some lapdancing establishments.

 

So as long as you spend more than ten minutes and get stuff you are on to a winner!

[SRi05]

Selling the n n n nineteen already?

[mrbenn]

AH HA!! Subterfuge!

 

Looks alright that. Number plate would suit electrician.

 

Couldn't you have found one nearer?

[loserone]

It was a number of hundred pounds more than £58

[loserone]

Selling the n n n nineteen already?

Oi, there's a queue mate

[SRi05]

Oi, there's a queue mate

Let's strip to the waist and fight for it

[barmatt]

Has there been some clever airbrushing on that picture? or did you actually by a car for £58?

Oh god no man. I used virtual Tip-Ex to cover the numbers to make it harder to find in completed ebay listings.

Confession. It wasnt really £58.

As always, possibly.

Nearer ones are not as much fun.

I must haz mats, feels so wrong to drive commando. I make my own rubber mat to go over the carpet mats, using some of that thin ribbed rubber matting. I find it saves the carpet mat rubbing through and is easier to just shake it off every so often. The rubber is quite grippy so doesn't really ride up under the pedals very much, the occasional correction of mat position. I trace around the carpet mat, then cut the rubber mat with a Stanley knife.

 

If a 'mat over a mat' seems a step to,far, you can alsways rid of the carpet mat, but like I says, the rubber is only a few mm thin so not like your knees are rubbing the headlining. It is very hardwaring and durable

[barmatt]

Ah, sneaky, sneaky but I has already found it. Noice!

[Jim Bell]

What is it this time?

 

Its the most inapropriate car imaginable.
