Christ, a dent on a cheap 10 year old car.

The dent is the full size of the panel and the door won't open. I looked at it, and £550 is the going rate on a forecourt for a mint one of them. It's gopping inside too

No mention of the big fucking dent in the nsr door then? That's why you won't send it to the block you mong!

That place is just a couple of miles from me - I sometimes pop in there (and the car sales place opposite) to see what they have in. I have never, ever, seen anything I'd want to by at anywhere near a price I'd expect to pay.

Thanks Billy, now I've got that Twingo in my Watch list along with trawling .com for Crown Vics. This can only end well on New Years Eve and several bottles of cider............

I love the 3 box shape of the crown vic. The caprice looks massive but I don't know if it is actually much bigger than the Crown Vic.

Caprice is the bigger of the two, and in Police spec it was a much better car.  The Ford Police Interceptor package only provides heavy duty/uprated supension, alternator and one or two other bits n bobs, no Police Spec upgraded engine... the Caprice on the other hand could be had with a Corvette engine and trans and for a big girl it could really hustle.

 

I had a friend that was a patrol officer with the Long Beach Police Department - another Londoner - I went for a couple of ride alongs with him and by far the best was in a Caprice... we had only just got out of the station after roll call when he was dispatched to a 911 hang-up - code 3 right out of the gate - as terrifying as it was, that was a ride I never wanted to end.

 

The Caprices were so good that there were a few companies that specialized in rebuilding them from the ground up for police departments, effectively doubling their service life.

I forgot about this Caprice v Crown Vic Cop car shoot out on Roadkill. I'll need to watch it once cort JR stops hogging all the bandwidth watching Pepper Pig.

Dear Aunty Autoshite....

 

I am finding myself increasingly attracted to Ford Escorts... what should I do...?

I think that £595 is fair price for that given what other prices are out there for usable Escorts that have more than a year left in them...

 

though if I had to have a mk6, would have to be a Finesse for the air-con!

It is an age related plate, but a very early one issued in the 1980s. The first age related plates were transferable, which is why you often see SU and SV plates on modern coaches and things. The DVLC started making them non-transferable after a while, because the plate robbers were flogging the car's original reg and then flogging the age related one too!

Don't get me wrong, my ex-Moog Saab is a lovely car, and very useful, but this Rover does look very nice (apart from a bit of rot in the NSR arch), and crucially, it winks at me every time I drive past, which is several times a week in the van!

This is the kind of thing I dream of having in my dedicated multi-story car park of shite after a lottery win.

 

I'd wake up one day and think "today is the day to live in the shoes of someone who bought a H-reg 460 with a catalyser badge"

I'd fire the old girl up, listening to Radio 4 as I let it warm up a little. Drive at 17mph to the corner shop, park with one wheel on the kerb, lock it and check every handle twice to make sure it's locked, buy a pack of mint imperials and The Independent. Then off to park in the nicest lay by of a major dual carriageway, wrap up in the standard blanket from the parcel shelf and sip Earl Grey from my Home Bargains flask.
