I've done a silly......CITROEN XM

[maxxo]

Some of you will know what it is

keep it a secret for the others

i've bought a car, and i'm getting it delivered cos it's pre broken!

it has an electrical fault, it doesn't start, it has no MOT and it needs a fair bit of work

and i probably paid too much for it

excellent!

estimated arrival time of 4pm ish

poo count so far, 0, i've just got out of bed

I love a pre broken car, saves the trouble of breaking it!

Give us a clue?

[Back_For_More]

ex-Boll Rover possibly?

Or any Vauxhall with a dead fuel relay?

Much more exciting and a bigger liability

Likely equally as badly made but slower and heavier

Gotta be a soft top of some description tho? MX-5?

[Supernaut]

I'm guessing some sort of hydropneumatic Citroen.

Most other cars can simply be pushed if they aren't running.

I remember seeing these brand new at the Motorshow in the late 80s. I'm not a particular fan of the marque but these things really caught my eye and for the right reasons. Beautiful design and I particularly liked the back end styling. I guess it was inevitable that the designer would get it so right after looking at his back catalogue. What a guy.

RR Silver Shadow?

[Fumbler]

This'll be golden. I guarantee it.

[DirtyDaily]

I'm intrigued

[Crackers]

I'm looking forward to this. The man has balls. 

[LightBulbFun]

if this is what I think it is, then its the only vehicle who's gearbox I struggle to operate, and it was a bloody automatic LOL

still lovely machines tho, and very much looking forward to seeing more  

[maxxo]

Nein mein freund. It's currently not leaking any electrons and it still drives... Sort of.

[maxxo]

You'll have to wait and see what it is

Subaru Justy/legacy/svx
Suzuki swift
Vw corrado (slower so in 1.8 or 2.0 guise)
