KitKat Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Could you not get it Shiply’ed @Daviemck2006 That be the most time / hassle-free means of getting it to you, wouldn’t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbaldy Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Its a shame the German seller has went all cold on me as we planned on heading back north between christmass and New year and could have got this to the Scottish side of the border.

I have got quotes from shiply. All over £450 which is unaffordable at the present time. I can get a bus to the airport, east jet to Luton, and train to the docs for less than £60 all in in the new year. I have no idea how easy her can do £19 for a flight, cant be paying them at that!Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk Cord Fourteener 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you are saying is that if leanycan collects it before the lockdown, the lockdown will be finished by the time it gets to his place?Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk stuboy, Dan_ZTT, FakeConcern and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daviemck2006 Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 This is getting picked up from the doctor on Sunday, and delivered to me on Monday. Good luck to the recovery driver who is driving 598 miles to ne, then presumably back again. For £413! It would cost me more to drive down with my hilux and trailer for it.Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk privatewire, dave j, LightBulbFun and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daviemck2006 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Did you have a poo this morning Doc? I will probably have one before it gets here lol. I'm actually a little disappointed that I'm not doing the collecting of it my self. It would have been an epic journey, a fly drive!Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't tend to keep score. 😂 It would have been an epic journey. The good thing is that in spite of it sitting idle for several weeks, it fired into life straight away. Felt odd to drive after the Metro though. I will miss it, and will probably have another, just not a diesel next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daviemck2006 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 I had a 216 back in the day, one of only 2 cars I ever bought brand new. I loved it. I know that there is a vast difference between a brand new 1.6 petrol and a now elderly n/a diesel, but still looking forward to getting it tomorrow. It will be a bit slower than the 1.6 I had, but I have also owned a 1.9 n/a berlingo and it was ok.Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Regards XUD exhausts- the last job I did on my old 205 DT was a new backbox as mine was holed. Yes, they do make a difference. 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorRetro Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Is it really that bleak up there, or is it a special effect on the camera? 😁 TrabbieRonnie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daviemck2006 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 I'm quite impressed with it so far. Yes, the paintwork is not great having lots of fading and lacquer peel, but for a 25 year old rover it seems to be a solid rust free thing. The one I bought new in 1993 was only taxed until 2001, presumed dead at 8 years old. Yes it's got the xud rumble, would possibly wake the neighbours up on a cold start, but it's not too bad once its warmed up. I like the styling of these, always have done, it's a comfortable and nice place to sit in. It's not what you would call fast, but it's ok, it wont need flat out everywhere it goes.
