DialATune Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Well it’s WTF o’clock on a day off, it must be an autoshite collection. Off to the ends of the earth for a car which, if I looked longer/harder, I could probably find within 10 miles of my house. But where’s the romance in that! so, train number 1, with some other sleepy-eyed types who presumably are off to collect a 13 year old mondeo or something.... jumpingjehovahs, scdan4, Six-cylinder and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DialATune Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 The journey began in Ipswich, home of the tractor boys dontcha know. Now in london’s Famous London, home of extinction rebellion and stinky toilets. As I can think of no other reason to be using public transport this early on a Saturday, presumably a lot of £300 Micras and the like are getting collected today! jumpingjehovahs, scdan4, Cavcraft and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefoot Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Am I the first to pick on the French words in the title? I'll put a silly quid on it being a Renault 14TS in gold with a beige interior. DialATune, bangernomics and The Moog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DialATune Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 I like your thinking, @barefoot. That is a vehicle that would actually justify such a ridiculous journey. If you have a line on such a beast let us know! it turns out London to Manchester is a fucking long way, so I’m letting the train take the strain again. I shouldn’t complain though - the guy on the other side of the aisle is heading to Aberdeen to pick up a Rover 45, and the guard has to spend all tomorrow going to Dawlish to collect the Kia Picanto he ‘won’ for £160 on eBay... dome, Justin Case, jumpingjehovahs and 11 others 9 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the one I drove to Glasgow from Birmingham with the buggered gearbox. Easily the fastest one I have owned, and. Bit fruity sounding too.

DSdriver Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 <lkjsetright mode> headlamp lenses that become milky are polycarbonate and those that craze are acrylic. Use a UV protective wax (eg Farecla) from new to prevent which is useless news when buying shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
