http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140627141350? ... 350wt_1270

Item no. 140627141350

 

Found this beauty on ebay.

Someone has to buy it.

There will never be another one like it.

Should go in the museum or something.

Spoke to the seller and he has put a very very low reserve of £9000 on it, and that is everything included.

Had a look on carandclassic, and classiccarsforsale, and they are all going for around £12-16,000.

Well worth a punt for.

 

Comments???

 

Not there anymore?

Oh yeah, his no is 07849609720.

His name was Frank, I think..

Cheers Frank but is it not easier just to pm you on here instead?

Ex BAA RIV, we had these as airport and regional spare vehicles when I started at Heathrow in 1990, yes they are a Chrysler V8 (mid mounted) with Carb (4 barrel?) and MSD ignition system which was a bit problomatic and was nicknamed 'Might Start, Doubt it'. These were replaced by Gloster Saro Meterors (V8 Deitroit two stroke) and one that I did a bit of an overhaul on is now at Brooklands E95 (or possible B622)

Hi, I think you have got me wrong mate.

I am not selling the vehicle.

I am new on here today, and my name is not Frank.

That little Chevette looks like a viable project! I've had 3 (one estate and two hatches) and they're actually quite good to drive, if a bit on the low-powered side. One of us should really have a crack at it...

This Audi 90 seems okay for the money even though it needs a water pump. It's been coming down in price over the last few weeks but it's finally at 395 quid, which is about the right level I recon (although 300 is maybe more like it)

I love the look and noise of these. I've come very close to buying one several times, but worry that it'd be hugely bland and horrible to drive.

You'd be right to worry about the blandness, Ian.

Lovin the Chevette and LD Ambulance; both are chock full of win :D

..and could only be topped if the reg no read 'MYN 6E'.

Oh, and the other thing. FAR and AWAY more war, human pogroms, ethnic cleansing, and slaughter have been inflicted by godless despots than by "god-full" despots. Add it up, you'll be surprised. Hell, just do a body count for the last 100 years for a warm-up. :shock: .

 

I suppose you are going to consider Hitler as an atheist......Stalin and Mao too :roll:

 

This saves me a lot of typing:

 

Some people claim that Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were atheists, and they were very bad people, therefore atheism is bad (or some equally specious conclusion). One of the biggest problems with that is that none of those people were really atheists.

 

Hitler will be first because he’s the easiest. In Mein Kampf and later in a speech at the Reichstag he said, "... I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator. By fighting off the Jews. I am doing the Lord's work." Oh, but he was just using that for rhetorical purposes, he didn’t actually believe it, right? Wrong, he’s also said, "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so."

 

Stalin and Mao are a bit tougher to crack, mainly because there’s no quotations attributable to them either way. But most people seem to assume that because they abolished religion, they must be atheists. In fact, they abolished religion so that they could establish cults of personality, and become gods themselves. They did what they needed to in order to get more power, and religion was a rival power source, which is why they abolished it. Stalin actually reinstated the church after Hitler invaded, because he thought it would help him. Religion simply got in their way, and they eliminated anything and anyone that got in their way.

 

Even if any of these people were atheists, what would it say about atheists or atheism in general? I’ve never heard an atheist make the claim that because Hitler was a Catholic, Catholicism and Catholics are evil, which is exactly the way people use the Stalin/Hitler/Mao/whoever argument. I would contend that it is far easier to manipulate religion and use it for evil than it is for atheism, mainly because religions are actually organized and unite people with a common belief system, while atheism is unorganized and typically disunited. Religion’s potential for evil is therefore greater, but no more necessary than atheism being evil.

 

However, put up against each other, religion beats atheism by several orders of magnitude in number of people killed. But that’s another story.

In view of this being the ebay thread, I think we should discuss this between the two of us, and not here. If you wish.

 

I'm just a heathen - nothing to discuss really :mrgreen:

 

Back to eBay if you like? :wink:

Oooooh - back on track....

An agnostic Ford XR4x4

Lovely.

Feeling the need for some sporty love and this might fit the bill. :mrgreen:

 

Every XR2 (Mk1 & 2) is either bollocksed or out of my price range, and every XR2i has been lowered - bumhats.
