RichardK Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Off to get some 1990s joy. Leg 1 complete: Boston to Peterborough via Audi Q2 and Yaris GR. No pictures as I was enjoying the Yaris too much. Ahead of schedule so raided a secondhand shop for motorway tunes: cobblers, The Moog, sdkrc and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutty2006 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 What the actual fuck is it? The badgeless steering wheel didn’t help, the front shot badge brought further disappointment, still non the wiser! great purchase!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardK Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 It is the car everyone should have bought - it is driving well so far and very impressive. The Mazda 323C 1.5 GLX Coupe.

GrumpiusMaximus Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Remember seeing this when it was in @egg's possession and it's a cracking and bizarre little vehicle. Thoroughly approved. 500tops, RichardK and egg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Niiiice. That steering wheel looks like the logo has been photoshopped off, but in real life. RichardK and Jamie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanImp Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Ah, thats the style they built between the 7th and 13th March 1995. I'm not sure if I prefer it to the 14th to 21st design or not. My favourite is definitely the one they built in the short week on the run up to Christmas 1996 though. loserone, Tickman, garethj and 8 others 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardK Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Stop to see friends on the way up: 151 miles down. No beats missed, sunroof open from Cambridge. Very impressed with it for the price and still baffled it was around long enough for me to snaffle. Jim Bell, sdkrc, egg and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardK Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 And home, with slightly more fuel in than when I collected - the fill up was £40 of super unleaded and I was not the slowest thing on the road, I even overtook something. 213 miles. Many, many thanks to @Vantman for the car, the easy dealmaking, the natter and much appreciated lift, and for the service work done that made it easy to feel confident driving back, and to @egg for all the work done before and leaving that numberplate thing with the car because you know that’ll be back on as soon as I’ve got a not-warped plate made The Moog, egg, Vantman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
