dozeydustman Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 I'll have a Single and if I win I'll take the Maz
purplebargeken Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 I'd love the Big Red Bus back but I have nowhere to store anything anymore. GLWTR mate
TrabbieRonnie Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Can't resist... 3 of your finest Marlon Randos please Doc! The wee Mazda is my choice of prize, and whatever happens, a big well done on persevering with it!
Tayne Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Just realised where you are and that the red bus has a shorter mot than the interstellar e46 so I’d politely like to withdraw my request. Sorry
robinmasters Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Fuck me, Jim Bowen would have been embarrassed to offer those two as prizes. Random please. UltraWomble 1
Ohdearme Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Three please. Only the other day, the wife was wishing we still had the red bus. shell be overjoyed* when I win and pick the Madzzzdar DoctorRetro 1
DoctorRetro Posted June 29, 2019 Author Posted June 29, 2019 Updated. There were a couple of people who expressed interest in the Mazda roffle when it became available. @BeEP @brownnova @Dick Longbridge @Burnside If you still want in, let me know.
Jim Bell Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Three for 20 bones still? Count me in. Ohdearme and loserone 2
DoctorRetro Posted June 30, 2019 Author Posted June 30, 2019 25 left. Would accept swaps for either car...

DoctorRetro Posted June 30, 2019 Author Posted June 30, 2019 As a side point, if someone were to win the Mazda, they'd be welcome to leave it here for a little while, there's no hurry on that front. I'd even potter round doing some of the little jobs on it. purplebargeken, LightBulbFun and TrabbieRonnie 3
flat4alfa Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 make that two tickets then arm twisted DoctorRetro 1

DoctorRetro Posted July 1, 2019 Author Posted July 1, 2019 Just to add some more info on these two awesome* vehicles. Galaxy: Owned by several members of this forum, so I'm sure they will vouch for it. MOT is October, but apart from perhaps drop links on front suspension (TADTS), probably won't need much, Has already been fettled by our own Northernmonkey, including welding. Has loads of little niggles, like trailing edge of headlining peeling, horn button loose, AC not working, dents, scratches. But starts, drives and runs well - I'd depend on it to take me anywhere. 161,000 miles, but doesn't feel like it. Has the swivel front seats (very desirable apparently). 2.0 Petrol engine, manual box. Duratec DOHC engine. Mazda: MOT June 2020. Had new parts as follows: Dizzi cap, plugs, leads, alternator belt. Has a recon alternator on. Pretty solid and smart for its age. Starts OK, but runs like crap - needs a bit of TLC on the carb. The Aisan carb is over complicated, so I'm planning on simplifying by reducing the vacuum pipes and converting to manual choke. There's also a weber conversion plate available, if that's your bag. It was sitting for 5 years, so these things are to be expected. 60,000 miles. Was due to be banger raced, but we saved it. Pretty swish for it's age, electric windows, sunroof etc. Reasons for roffling? Galaxy is too 'Ford' for me - I've tried to like it, but I can't. Mazda is making me stressed. :(
DoctorRetro Posted July 1, 2019 Author Posted July 1, 2019 Seen something I want. So price is now £6 each - no matter how many tickets you buy. loserone 1
