barmatt Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 53 minutes ago, Kiltox said: Has anyone ever won the same car twice? Yes, Me. I won the Renault Safrane off RobT intending on giving it to Skattrd because he likes wafty French things but there was no room at the Inn so I drove it for a few weeks, reroffled it and it was won by Brodders iirc, who then gave it to somebody else, I can't remember who. It was then roffled again a little while later and Skattrd thought it would be hilarious* to buy tickets for me on the off chance I won again and much chortling was had by him when my numbers came up. The now ex Mrs BM grew fond of the old wagon and drove it everywhere for a bit until it overheated quite dramatically, she didn't notice it was getting hot due to the lack of dash lights and I'm afraid to say it got fragged in the end. Kiltox, CortinaDave, yes oui si and 3 others 6
Twisterboy Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 2 numbers please when this is re-roffled 12 and 16
Kiltox Posted January 4, 2020 Author Posted January 4, 2020 I think I’ve fucked up - my lavalier microphone has a battery in it for the signal booster and it was obviously dead (doesn’t have a status light) So I have lots of sound-less footage of me talking to camera, it seems!! Will need to re-shoot tomorrow. Bastard.
omegod Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Looks good, hope the fecker doesn't leak, I've spent today removing the headlining from my brothers one as it's saturated and the condensation behind it was unbelievable

320touring Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Well collected and glad that your microphone can tell when you are spraffing shite:) Ohdearme, beko1987, Skizzer and 1 other 4
Isaac Hunt Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Good luck. I enjoyed the tale by the guy on RR as it unfolded. He had some mix of cars that year.

Can 't you stand by the car or walk around spouting similar shite and pointing at things, or spout over some of "B roll"?

I’ll just go for a shorter drive and talk similar pish, it’ll be alright. yes oui si, Flat4 and Dan_ZTT 3

Kiltox Posted January 4, 2020 Author Posted January 4, 2020 1 minute ago, Flat4 said: It hasn't failed completely already, has it?! Nah. It’s absolutely spot on, it hasn’t even slightly misbehaved. I suspect some kind of sensor in the steering system is upset although some folks on Pistonheads reckon it might just need a fluid change / flush.
Kiltox Posted January 5, 2020 Author Posted January 5, 2020 Scrubs up alright, although the alloy wheels are in dire need of a refurb and whatever “tyre gel” the car wash used is a joke!! Dan302, mrbenn, yes oui si and 6 others 9
Kiltox Posted January 5, 2020 Author Posted January 5, 2020 One hastily edited video about this heap of joy: https://youtu.be/tN32I6hogrE . Not my best effort but having to shoot it all for a second time dampened my enthusiasm a bit Dan302, BL Bloke, Floatylight and 6 others 9

rantingYoof Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 As far as I'm concerned, there cannot be too many Youtube videos of people reviewing/discussing 'an cars', given the number of supercar/extreme vehicle reviewers out there. Twisterboy, Kiltox, FakeConcern and 2 others 5

Twisterboy Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Loved the video. I just like these videos on real everyday cars, looking forward to seeing more of these. Davy FakeConcern and Kiltox 2
bezzabsa Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 if they drive as good as the cmax, then you'll love it..my cmax had 255,000 miles on it - admittedly it wa a diesel, but took me mom n sis up to scotland, and toured around a bit in absolute comfort..alaso mamaged 75mpg up the M6 too about to hop over to yootoob for the vid Kiltox 1
GrumpiusMaximus Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Absolutely love that. Low mileage, great bodywork. Lovely car.

purplebargeken Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Orders industrial sized packet of porridge. Gets comfy at computer desk. Has back scratcher at the ready. Crack on.............................. Kiltox 1
Dan302 Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Enjoyed that you come across well on camera. Kiltox and Craig the Princess 2
FakeConcern Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I enjoyed the video too... I'll be interested to see if you can manage a car a month...
purplebargeken Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Oh, also subscribed The i10 needs a cameo on the channel
ChampionRabbit Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 What a posh video! Very enjoyable! Headlights are super, super easy to remove; one bolt, 2 clips. Takes about a minute. Ironically (ref video) a very easy/neat design!
Craig the Princess Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I hope the mk1 focus in the background of the intro was deliberate ? Ohdearme, Kiltox, Jim Bell and 1 other 2 2
Twisterboy Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 Wheels on this focus always go like that, I have only ever seen one set that have been in tip top condition.
