Recommended Posts

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

ex-Boll Rover possibly?

Or any Vauxhall with a dead fuel relay?

Much more exciting and a bigger liability

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

Give us a clue?

It's from 1993!

Gone to the beach for a bit, not due for a while so making the most of the day

I need to get it running today to get it in the garage or else it'll be hard......another clue

Likely equally as badly made but slower and heavier

...with the hood stuck in the 'down' position, and rain forecast for later?

Your guess is incorrect

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

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.

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

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

I'll start guessing, alphabetical order:
Citroen XM
Ford Probe
Lamborghini Diablo (lol)
Mazda MX6 (yes 6. I'll also throw my hat in for the MX3.)
Nissan Sentra
Saab 900
Subaru Justy/legacy/svx
Suzuki swift
Vw corrado (slower so in 1.8 or 2.0 guise)
