The Doctors back again with this relisted Victor that he obviously couldn't sell last week, It the first time i've read the advert and i can't believe how far up his own arse he's now got, a few perils from the write up include the yarn out the first buyer buying it to please his wife as she wanted a car for special occasions one of my favorites.

 

 

 

he had as part of the deal got Haston to agree to swapping the new fangled, fancy pants cassette player, for which he had no cassettes for an 8 track player with radio for which he had twenty four 8 track tapes. These tapes are still with the car today and whereas they may not all be to everyone's taste they do range from 1966 Jim Reeves to 1975 Rod Stewart!

 

How the fuck does he now this?! How does he not know the tapes have been added since then, he should be on Jackanory.

Off topic slightly but that steam engine remind me of a local show a few years back, the field got boggy by the entrance and one of the engines got stuck.

so his mate came along to help him get unstuck.

sadly he sunk as well and both machine blocked all the vehicles on the show field, it took a brand new New Holland tractor in the end to come down from a nearby farm to remove them.

As a relative newcomer to the Land rover 'scene' I can see where some of this is coming from. The scene is a bit like a microcosm of the general motoring community.

 

- The Evoque Driver - don't get me started

- The cream coloured range rover sport/vogue - sales director or managing director, usually of a carpet warehouse, 30 years ago it would have been an XJ6 ( a wiff of 'trade' as Mrs Bucket would say)

- The yummy mummy in the Disco 4 - aggressive and large, the fake tan, blond hair and gym body  - 30 years ago think 240 estate

- The 'URBAN WARRIOR' - this involves buying a defender and covering it with shit. Some spend thousands on this, you only have to look at Land Rover International to check out the adverts and you will see what I mean. Ridiculous acessories that are totally unnecessary in the suburbs and would probably break the moment you used them in the environment they were supposedly designed for. Checker plate, lighting bars, twat stickers - all look pretty daft when the reality of extreme off roading is a green lane in wiltshire - you don;t need bear proof  tyres in the UK - I suspect this is the type that is causing the ire here.

 

- the classic brigade - instead of an e type these guys spend £25k on a Series 1, Series 2;s in good nick are also in the price bracket of proper classics. Cheaper is the Series 3 These along with the next group have a healthy contempt for the above. If you don;t understand the appeal of driving one of these horrible old draughty tubs then you have never driven one - they bring a huge smile to your face the moment you start and if you don;t believe me - try it sometime. On the oldleafsprunglandrover forum adding 'items' to your land rover like the urban warrior does is treated with derision. 

 

and then you get the shitters - Series 3's and the Mk1 discos - we use both in our business - Discos because they are tough and excellent tow cars despite dissolving and the engines are not common rail. Series 3s because with the leaf springs they make a more stable albeit slower towing platform for large single axel loads. we also need the off road capability. Shitters tend to use 4x4s when they need a truck.

 

personally, although i have 5 trucks - (2 series 3, 1 disco, 1 range rover, 1 pajero) I would rather drive a car on the road any day - even the 'civilised' trucks will kill you if you swerve and they all drink fuel and handle like buses 

 

drove plenty of the LRs during 18 years in the army. I wouldn't knock them nor the enthusiasts and that wasn't my intention. It was/is aimed squarely at the Urban warriors your describe above. The hot rod scene hasit's own particluar brand of folk who leave me exasperated as well, but lets not go there this evening!

I recall this from ebay a couple of years back (someone wittier than me coined the phrase multiple suicide doors)

I wanted it then and would still like it now, but I lack the time/skill/money to do anything about it

1994 called, it wants its Saab back.  My 2012 Kia's got more miles on it than this.  Shame about the scuffed bumper but the seller's got a clear, sensible advert and isn't asking silly money.  Not normally my cup of Yorkshire but it's hard not to be a little bit impressed.

The only reason that's a willies replica is because you'd look a complete dick driving it.

 

This however has made me crash the yogurt cart:

As restoration projects go, fair play to the seller for even considering it, the green one looks absurdly rotten but it'd be nice to think at least one of them could be rescued.  CXs are such a rare sight now and one of those few cars that looks like nothing else.

Yeah, I posted it two days ago and have a strange liking for it.

 

and as I'm up for a cheap mid-life crisis, a two-door ragtop cav would be right up my strasse  "sighs"

Check out this Portaloo.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-Special-1930s-Replica-Unfinished-Project-/231143486487?

The car is built on a custom made chassis running a new unleaded 2.8 Cologne engine with a five speed T9 five speed gearbox.

 

 

 

 

The car carries I.D. from a 1983 Mercedes 107 SL Convertable, I.D. plates and chassis tags are fitted to the car along with a nice period registration number

 

Seems to be a horrible JBA Javelin with a Merc grille and wheels on. Not sure how many points you get with the DVLA for a flipping grille but this guy clearly thinks its enough to allow you to simply rivet the ID tags on from anything you fancy. Verdict: SIGNIFICANTLY DISTANCED FROM REALITY/CLUELESS
