eBay tat volume 3.

So after much* thought I've decided the v6 yank motors discussed in the 90s Camaro thread are probably more in keeping with the Autoshite attitude than the more (much more, probably) desireable v8s. How bad can a smooth 90s Coupe with a big v6 be?

-this is my favourite generation of the Mustang.

-And I like this generation of Camaro the most, too.

-I found this while browsing LHD motors. I know they have a terribile image problem in the US but I still like it. I do have to wonder who went to the trouble to bring it over here.

One of these is not like the others...

 

I'd probably go for the Camaro, just the sleeker looking car. Just don't expect any kind of performance out of it, especially with the automatic (which is falsely advertised as manual...)

Low mileage Rover 25 for £100 on Autotrader. The ad says the engine needs repairs, presumably Head gasket related. Even still, it's a supposedly well looked after 1 owner car, but more interestingly, it's painted in 'Mirage' a pale, silvery blue Monogram colour. The monogram cars are pretty rare, especially so on the 25, considering what an expensive option it was when new.

(Not the car, obviously, but one of the only photos I could find that shows the colour. Looks quite nice imho. Would be interesting to see what it looked like on a 25)

Fact of the day: 'Mirage monogram' is an anagram of ARM GROOM A MINGE.

Cheap Nova, with full test, in Chester.  If only I could think of someone who might be interested...

 

 

 

Hmm, feedback is dogshit but only about ten-twelve miles or so away. Cheers for the heads up.

 

 

 

I think that's possibly the main entrance to Cholmondeley Castle.

"no other damage apart from that on the rest of the vehicle"

 

and to my brain.

I'm no expert, not even a novice, but I could think of several reasons why that should not pass an MOT, unless they've changed the rules on tyres extending beyond the bodywork since my mate got done for putting wide wheels on his mini back in the day.
