£99 admin fee. 🤣

What if you turned up, cash in the hand and said I’m not paying then £99, take it or leave it?

I guess it’ll depend on how stubborn a bastard they are. I’d try to avoid those sorts of places out of principle but my brother insisted on buying his GT86 from such a place in that there lun-dun and I went to help* with my own brand of stubbornness. We didn’t pay the admin fee but the door did end up being full of wob, discovered later when it got warm in the sun and cracked, so I can’t claim it as a win…

Had one of these back in the day, probably still the best car I ever owned.

Picture 1 of 5

classic cars | eBay

Currently £5,223 reserve not met. 

I had an E plate Sri 130 that I paid £200 (or maybe less) for, as a stop gap car. Thrashed it harder than any car I have ever owned, because if it went bang, so what? 

Some stopgap, as had it for well over two years, only thing that broke was the rear silencer. 

Only sold it because my missus hated it, as it wasn't as new as her friends cars.

Should have got shot of her....

Mk2 and 3 Cavs were cracking cars. I still don't understand why the equivalent Fords are more fondly regarded. The Vauxhalls pissed all over them.

The inside looks like a sort of Victorian torture chamber made out of pallets by a tanked up George Clarke fan. 

What a terrifying picture. Looks like some sort of Mad Max post-apocalypse hellscape.

Maybe that's accurate for Inverurie, I'm not Scotch enough to know.

Cheap IMA Civic which isn't charging its main battery.  I assume it's not just a standard alternator on these?

Something weird on these iirc, they're mild hybrids. 

If one of these is that cheap, it's fucked, they REALLY hold their money. They're usually 3-4k.

The 12v battery is charged by a DC-DC converter so no conventional alternator.

For other reasons to avaoid, see this recent thread:

Always loved this gen Accord. With an auto and exhaust someone messed with even 750 quid could be too much though.

I do too. There's been a recent spate of the facelift version (2000ish) in 2.3 V-spec auto flavour, extremely tempting. However the driveway trader gang seems to think they're worth £2500 rather than the £900 they're actually worth.

Easy £10K - they're priced at silly money (which is maybe why my wife has always fancied one?). Instead she got a Cherokee (KJ) with the same Italian diesel in it - not a bad car to be honest, put you back around £2K these days for one of those and just as much use as the Wanker

You can build a mains charger using LED drivers. As long as none of the cells are physically damaged then you can limp some life out of them through mains charging. Using a bulb or big resistor you can discharge the pack before charging, doing this over a few cycles apparently helps balance the pack if there’s weak cells. My 22 year old pack in the Insight is being kept alive this way, as when left unused too long it sinks into a state of charge where the battery controller refuses to charge the pack. Obviously it’s just delaying the inevitable, but it’s still perfectly workable.

Jag alert in Southam, @Cluffy

1998 XJR in need of recommissioning. £3450

I am more taken by this in the advert: Any inspection welcome, we have a dry workshop and jacks and inspection lamps available. 

Can I leave the Jag and just have the dry workshop and inspection lamps please?
