"Hey, Jim. My car's in the garage this week, can I borrow yours?"

 

 

"Sure, no problem! Oh, there's one thing you have to know about the fuel gauge. Basically,

 

The car is fitted with a small computer that switches the fuel tanks automatically through two solenoid valves in the boot; they can also be switched manually from the dash. Basically, when you re-fuel, you reset the computer. When tank 1 gets to 1 gal (approx) it will flash the light on tank 1 switch. When the level is at ½ gal it will switch to tank 2. When tank 2 gets to 1 gal (approx) the light on tank 2 switch will flash. That leaves you with 1 gallon (time to top up). The computer also controls the wiper delay. This is a one-off unit and cannot be replaced, but can be bypassed if required.

 

"

 

"Okay, fuck it, I'll get the bus"

The close® up front view of that Renault 5 make it look like it's just staggered back from the pub after 20 pints and several chasers.

That friggin trike looks unbelievable. I don't see how it can't suffer unmanageable body roll, like if you hold your arm out it'll tip over like Dolly Parton in a friggin Kayak. Unless the suspension is set so rock hard that it does nowt.

Seller has trouble with figures, buyers might also struggle with his zero feedback.

Whatevs. I think it's the one featured in "An Education"

and Bristol 405s are among the very few cars that are beyond a P6 V8.

Oh, interesting...  Broadspeeds looked too low at the back with bugger-all headroom for all concerned.  However, that homemade effort has learned from that and here we have the creation of a Clubman 2+2 Coupe.  A lot of effort went into that.  Well, I like it...  well, I did until I saw the oversize rear windows touching the gutters 

 

How it used to look before the yankees got hold of it

But I won't be giving the seller the $9995 he was was originally asking for it

 

Auction in August ran to $7,522, relisted.

September it reached $4,457, relisted.

Photos all have the background edited out, which creates a rather strange effect!
