Shitting in the shallow end. *scrap sadly*

[Jim Bell]

Petrbrough in the fine rain that they have on sad days in films.

These things happen and the shitter seller could not have been more honest and kind given the situation. Half way home by train at York now. Having a cream bun and DRUGS POP while I wait for the connection. 

 

Cars do know when they're being sold and they do like to show their displeasure sometimes.

Even the P'boghorror tumbleweed look dejected.

You. Aye you. Hello. Nice to make your aquantence. My name is lord sir Jimmy Crystal. Right hand of old Nick himself, deliverer of charity and weaver of the seven fingers. A journey awaits and you shall accompany me. 

[Jim Bell]

Well ok, but I'll have to go for a quick poo first. 

 

Won't be long. 

 

 

[Keymaster]

Yerrrsssss! I do enjoy a Jim Bell collection 

[Jim Bell]

 

 

If you're going in after me, you may need this. 

 

Lets fucking go then my Tubby friend. North. 

[Jim Bell]

And so away we go. Up the road. Leaving the safety of the home behind. 

 

First stop was the diesel snake. A beast that roars and clatters. Swallows you alive and spits you out elsewhere.

Er. I have a student rail card that expired in 2010. Will that do?

At this point hunger became too much to bear and sustainanance was sought.  After another quick toilet. 

Would you like a steak bake Lord Sir Jimmy? 

 

 

Here we go then. 

 

[Jim Bell]

Pov you are my tuna crunch roll. 

 

[Jim Bell]

I used our wait until the connection to do some required reading.

 

The next train north was more luxurious. 

 

 

We thundered on northwards.

After a while we got through to the location of the prize. 

And I was given a choice. 

One or the other. 

 

 

A choice is made.

It's a 207 1.6hdi. Remarkable only for the fastidious attention to detail lavished on it by previous owner. 

This is from a previous sale thread. 

 

When a boring car comes along from an owner willing to spend this much time and money on, it's a no brainer to buy it. 

It's quick enough, very frugal (more so even than the Prius) and in great order. Was a lovely drive home and barely sipped to the first mark on the gauge over the trip. 

 

 

 

 

Great car and a great day out. 

Big thanks to @davehedgehog31 for being a top seller, for meeting me halfway and for leaving half a tank in it. A+++++ trusted shitter.

Yeah man, I had a glowing endorsements from him. Driving this one certainly encouraged him to buy yours I think. Great cars for sure.

Lies, I've walked past there around the time this photo was taken and haven't seen a single Teletubby!

[Sunny Jim]

I had quite a boring day at work doing the admin tasks I was paid to do and to think I could have eased the tedium following along with your adventures instead. A most excellent purchase that I hope serves you well Mr Bell. Thanks as ever for sharing.

[Jim Bell]

Big development!

Genuine OEM NOS rubber mats arrived. No car is complete with decent mats. 

Morse code motif is pretty cool.

So far, love it.

The saga of the unsellable shitbox Prius has come to a sad end. 

 

The roffle failed.

A brave shitter offered to buy it outright. This sale fell through. 

Another shitter offered to buy it outright and it rewarded this confidence and interest much to my great shame by kicking the RED TRIANGLE OF DEATH  🔺️ on half way home after collection. This is naughty and unacceptable behavior even for a daft old banger.

 

In line with the published Shitpeas Satisfaction Garuntee, the ungrateful piece of shit was returned for a full refund and a thousand apologies. Sorry again @1duck

A scan of the battery shows that the pairing of cells number 3 has dropped bellow acceptable voltage tolerances. 

 

 

I've driven the piece of ungrateful shit regularly over the past week and it's been spot on. I guess cars know when they're due to be sold and when the tank has just been brimmed and will throw a wobbler accordingly at the worst possible time. 

 

The insurance is up in a few days, it's been replaced and I don't have the time or money to have further cells replaced so it's going to be away for scrap at the earliest possible convenience. A shame as it drives well, has half an mot and other than the battery issues, it's a great car. 

Still, it'll serve it right for making me look like a cunt. 

To the scrapyard!

That's sad, do the scrap yards take them or are there lots of hoops to jump through?
