sporty-shite Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thought I might have a go at documenting my shite this year. I'm not sure itll be interesting and maybe there wont be much to see, but here goes. Started January by selling the Alfa on here. Got the Saab back from Mrs S, so needed to get her something. Browsing Facebook, and our very own Cavcraft popped up, with something to fit the bill. So today, I went to the legendary lock ups..... A deal was struck, and we drove away in a slice of Ellesmere Ports finest. Now at Sporty Towers. privatewire, jumpingjehovahs, Tickman and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sporty-shite Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 More dullness today. Changed oil and filter, and gave it a wash and vac. Mrs S likes it, so it's all good. Gave the Saab and wash and vac, and took some new pictures for a fresh Facebook ad. Looking forward* to the replies. garethj, Split_Pin, Broadsword and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporty-shite Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 After a few no shows, a lovely lady came to look at the Saab tonight. Had a drive, had a nice chat, then made a sensible bid, paid and drove it away. Faith in buying public is restored. Now looking for my next lump of chod.

Cavcraft Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Can't believe it took as long as it did to sell the Saab, lovely looking car that. Looking forward to seeing what's next, any clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skattrd Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Collection? I was thinking that maybe you'd bought the V70 d5, but that's not a short collection, it'd be more of a middling one. Is it the bora tdi then? My old bora is one of the cars I did the most miles in, around 85k. Despite all of their faults they're a decent mile muncher. Bilstein b4 shocks and Audi A3 sport seats made mine more suitable for me. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sporty-shite Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Washed and hovered . Drives nicely, and hides it's miles very well. Probably book it in for test next week. Hopefully it won't be too drastic. skattrd, drewd, Tickman and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporty-shite Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 So the Astras noisy turbo didn't last as long as I thought it might. It's now off the road until I can get round to sticking another blower on it. So now, I'm searching for something to keep Mrs S mobile. I tried to give her the Bora, but in her words, "it's like a taxi." RUDE. Split_Pin and drewd 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewd Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Mrs Drewd basically said the Bora was a rep mobile. It's not a bad car though, if it didn't sell I probably would have MOTd and kept it. Hope you can find a reasonably priced turbo for the Astra. sporty-shite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporty-shite Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Yeah, I'll sort the Astra. Used turbo is about £100 and it needs injector seals too. Worth sorting because it's a decent car otherwise and Mrs S really likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already nice a d low at the back, but it needs a drop up front. It will get this. Quite like the wheels, and as for the bonnet......

Junior Sporty loves this van so it's going to be a bit of a lad and dad project.
