I am puzzled by the ending of the take your Marina for a swim ad.  If each of the two body types was available with a choice of three engines and three trim levels, wouldn't that be 18 cars rather than 10?

Here you go, three million word 'Doctor Spunktrumpet bought this new in 1987 from Cockboil and Knobrocket Rover, blah blah bloody blah'

It's 'the doctor' so it's had several hundred bids on it already.

I know sod all about old Yank crap like this, but £2,050 for this old bucket of bollocks seems vastly over-priced to me.

With ford prices I just don't know anymore . The advert doesn't seem immediately dodgy.

 

Just like the Capri last week it has disappeared. I added them both to my watch list and both have gone. It was a £8K car all day so if it looks too good to be true..........

Needs more saturation.  Look at the colour of that hedge (JANUARY) and those HT leads!!  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

This was probably the best bus this lot had, given the allegations over their maintenance records

Then on my way to the shops I spotted this. The sign in the window says 12 months MOT, but I checked, and it's only got ticket till March at the moment. Perhaps if you turn up with £395 in folding they stick a new on one for you? Anyway it's a full fat 2.0 Ghia X manual, and looked in fine nick for a car with 170k+ on it, rear arches looked mint, though there's a big scratch on the rear three quarter. Four Goodyear Efficient Grips on it with about 4mm tread on too. Must admit I'm quite tempted to buy it, smoke around in it for a bit, then roffle it, would it make £5 a ticket?

Looks nice enough, but there's a couple of issues... do people not realise that Joe Public can check MoT's themselves? And the 2.0 lump is a bit of a waste of time, it's not significantly quicker, smoother, nicer than a 1.8, but drinks like a bastard. VED on newer one is a bit naughty too. Classic AMM Auctio Game "Orphan"

Tiger Tiger, burning bright, 

In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye, 
Could frame thy entire symmetry?
 
s-l1600.jpg

 

 

 

In what distant deeps or skies. 
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
Oh fuck, here's Vosa, set the tacho on fire?
 
s-l1600.jpg
 

 

 

When the stars threw away their chairs 
And water'd heaven with their tears: 
Did he smile his work to see?
Does he who sells live in Crawley?
 
s-l1600.jpg

 

 

Tiger Tiger burning bright, 

Would nine hundred pounds by this shite? 
What immortal hand could take,
Soz my kids bid by mistake

Rule, Britannia! Britannia rust away!
This bus never, never, never shall be saved.

 

s-l1600.jpg

When Britain first, the right wings c*nts,
Arose from out the road in front,
This was the charter of the land it seem,

Run them over, fuck the screen

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

The other's not so blest as thee
He drives shit from Italy

While thou shalt across the sea:
He awaits recovery

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

Thee haughty sills ne'er shall tame;
All their attempts to bend thee down
Will but arouse thy generous welding flame,

Atop, rusty bullet hole alone

s-l1600.jpg

The panel gaps on that are almost as bad as they are on my SD1 (and those can be seen from Space).
