Dominic and I had a long chat about cars this morning. 

His list? 

Peugeot 205 diesel 

Renault Laguna mk1 (prefer estate) or Safrane

A 4x4

Something rear wheel drive 

'Just something cool' 

 

 

That's a pretty good list to follow ?

[DoctorRetro]

Just thought I'd mention here too, as not everyone goes on the open forum, that I'm going to be going a charity gaming session for 19 hours on 27th June, hopefully I can get some support / donations etc. 

It's a Red Cross thing, I'll post a link up once I get everything set up. 

There will be a live stream link too, so you can all see what I'm up to! ?

I've decided to do 5am to midnight, as hopefully that won't kill me... much.

Divorce will be a quickie, no money or house issues to thrash through. I don't own anything of significant value, and whatever I do is probably offset 100 times over by debts . 
It's just a one off payment of 550 quid fees, that I've been putting off as it's a largish amount to pay out, and I've always had other things that need doing / paying for. 
 
 
 

As a bitter* divorced person get the paperwork sorted and any financial liabilities or ties gone ASAP.

Laguna estates are pretty neat, split tailgate too. Personally I prefer how they drove over the Safrane, which is a bit too cosseting and will make you have a mental breakdown when you need spare bits.

I also have this thing where I start imagining things that are wrong with the car and believe that I have to get rid ASAP.

 Really?

[DoctorRetro]

We have a new contender!

Dominic saw a Rover 75 earlier and said 'ooh, could we get one of those?'

Awesome. Unfortunately the wiggly stick in the middle only goes back and forward, so no good. ?

[DoctorRetro]

Spacers on. 

Not sure if you can tell the difference, but I can. 

[bunglebus]

Somewhere I've got a biohazard stencil that I made for my Renault when it had a primered quarter panel. Think you need a few on your Rover

Wouldn't buy a wiggly stick 75........not with their hilarious hydraulic clutch set up..................

There's the goblins's head splatter on the bonnet, not sure if that's new but these pics really bring it out. Plus the yellow and red warning tape has black gaffer tape over it. Anyway Do I win? No? Oh you mean it has arch extensions and I didn't even notice? Drat and double drat ?

Had to Google Chevrolet Celebrity from your list on page 1 as I had never heard of them and had no idea what they looked like. One Chodtastic looking car.

Yep. Basically a Vauxhall Senator estate with a FWD 2.8 V6. And 8 seats. Absolutely horrendous. 

Looked like this (not my actual car) 

Interior pics (also not my actual car) 

 

In more sad times. Next owner painted it nato green and the following owner banger raced it. 

 

[DoctorRetro]

Found an actual interior pic from mine. 

And another shot from the rear, in the hands of the next owner. 

It was terrible on fuel, returning anywhere from 9 to 19 mpg

Wrong. ? There's an extra 50 mm between the wheels, thanks to some beefy spacers. Proper ones mind, that bolt on and have their own studs. I used spigot rings too, to ensure they fitted right. 

[Eyersey1234]

Sad for the fact that the next 2 owners fucked about with it

No worse than my 2.9 24v Scorpio. You have an economic car so you can justify a silly one for fun.

[DoctorRetro]

BX is gone. 

Divorce is paid for. 

But now I have an empty space (sortof), an insurance policy space and a little money in the savings account. 

WCPGW? ??

[bangernomics]

Thought you had bought that 305 estate off C&C.

No, he wasn't interested in a swap at the time, and I decided a better use of my funds was the divorce.

I love the big boot and the olive drab emulsion paint. Not so stoked on the mpg...

Just wait till I get the nudge bar on!
