fatharris Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 The 90s cars are the pinnacle of motoring, so it makes prudent sense to stockpile them whilst you can!Chodspeed!

brownnova Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Anyway… last time I bought a car in a storm it was a Saab Convertible from Anglesey, and the high winds made it fun. Today we have had the winds, and currently it’s wintery showers. Anyway… the electrically powered portion of the journey has begun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangernomics Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Prèstatyn makes me shudder, home to rock and cock shops. Or more accurately shops that sell kids toys, rock, dildos and bongs. brownnova 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mintwth Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 A vehicle drawn with a ruler hiding inside some kind of bdsm emporium with a vinyl/leather panelled street frontage........ Are you sure you're not back in Rhyl? brownnova 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownnova Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 I wasn’t held hostage in Prestatyn at the bong and dildo shop that @bangernomicsseems to have such fond memories off… no kidnapped but the wife to do some shopping… not in the Purple Moose however, as it’s not taxed… and I’m not paying a whole month for the same of two days! Anyway on to the haul…. It’s a 940 LPT and it’s absolutely lovely. Owned by an older lady since 2014 it’s very clearly been looked after! Needs a bit of a clean outside then using! Originally owned by a pub or it’s landlord in Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire… I’m sure there are Shiters near there. Bonus is she said it didn’t have any service history… I found the service book and a load of papers and every service up until 2014 has been meticulously recorded.

CreepingJesus Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 URS makes the number Aberdonian in origin, so the car's already got some SVM DNA. Now, where did I put my brick magnets? <rummages through boxes in lobby cupboard> Also: is that a Pontiac Aztec in the background? brownnova 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
