The Doctor's travels through time - The End - of chapter 1

[DoctorRetro]

If there is a figure we can work out MOT'd and delivered (even a bit/lot closer), I guess I'd be interested. 

The only things against it are

- lack of rear doors. 

- distance (and more the time than the cost)

205 auto will go out of your budget. They were £600 cars a couple of years ago, and all the ones I find now are around £1k BIN.

[Andyrew]

£350 for the little puglet diesel seems a bargain to me.  Seems it's done a few of its custodians a good turn.

I'd buy a 205 D from loserein  but I'd need to dispose of a 205 CJ I have already bought from loserein.

[Andyrew]

This is a friend of a work mates, maybe about to get it for £375

I'd buy a 205 D from loserein  but I'd need to dispose of a 205 CJ I have already bought from loserein.

 

It definitely has a Bosch pump if that helps swing things. I miss it already.

Better mental health and/or a driveway and it'd still be here.

CJ is cheaper to tax though.  Sell the CJ to the doctor

[castros_bro]

Not that i'm a 205 fuckwit/addict but holidays were invented for one purpose (ein(e)  Segelsommer eh? )

CJ being rad fan rewired with a few dollars of Chinese electronics digital temperature display with proportional fan control speed to cope with desert conditions. Nothing* borrowed from my employer's scrap bin. Big boy exhaust has a collection of spirally shredded beer cans waiting to be inserted.  Beeeer caansss being emptied-i-poos.

 

 

[DoctorRetro]

Fucksake. 

Missed another one as I didn't have the balls to go higher.

And it doesn't matter if you'll get bored in five minutes, because that would be the case anyway

[EssDeeWon]

Or the Astra in the sweet shop window for extra win.

[DoctorRetro]

I think I've found something. Or in actual fact, my girlfriend has.* Keeping my mouth shut until I hear back from the seller. A little excited as it's something I really wanted. Currently have everything crossed.... 

 

*I was sitting watching the TV and she was browsing for cars for me, she's definitely a keeper. 

[DoctorRetro]

In a dramatic turn of events last night, I have now agreed to buy a car. All will be revealed later. 

After my girlfriend found the car I messaged the seller, but didn't hear back until after 10pm. As the car is more than you can withdraw from a cashpoint in one day, I got out of bed and walked to the nearest ATM after our discussion. 

Apparently the car belongs to his 93 year old father who is quite attached to it, so I guess I'll have to convince him it is going to a good home. I'm travelling from work later several hours to somewhere in Sussex called Haywards Heath. 

Clues? 

- I've owned one before. 

- It is old. 

- I don't like the wheel trims. 

 

[BlankFrank]

Another Mazzer 323?

[Wingz123]

Suzuki wagon r or fiat panda

[EssDeeWon]

Just don't tell him you plan to lower it and paint the wheels black lol!

Haywards Heath, nice.  Actually somewhere I have plans to move to soon, hopefully.

You don't fancy a drive down there this evening do you? ?

[Jim Bell]

Nissan Almera, but worse than the last one.

Definitely should've gone higher on that, looks a good 'un!

Think I'm going to need to take it easy on the way home, it hasn't done a lot of miles recently...

the dacia sandero of the 90's

[Supernaut]

I would try guessing what car you're buying, but what's the point? It'll be for sale again in a fortnight.

[loserone]

As long as that? 

Even the clue you've had one before isn't narrowing it down much.

Flash bastard. 

Ps you can ask your bank to put your withdrawal limit up now - I think £500 is the new max. 

[DoctorRetro]

Next Clues

More expensive to insure than the Almera on my Esure policy

Lancaster say it is not a vehicle they will insure, despite it being a year older than the last vehicle I had. Awaiting the fight when they try to charge a cancellation fee. 

 

[Jim Bell]

A Toyota Corolla automatic. 

But worse than the last one with no Mot.
