Has @captain_70s ever apologized for this or offered help with any form of counseling?

We were in the trenches together so he's prob got ptsd as well 🤣

The day we slammed the back door and the sill fell off will never leave me, horifying and epic at the same time.

I'll tell my grandkids about that.

Collection successful! Car gotted 

 

thank you @HMC always a pleasure 😊

[HMC]

Was lovely to meet you again. I like the moody car park pic; looks like a “business” meeting of 2 underworld characters in Riga.

I’m starting to think this is @HMC’s 2nd account and he’s just selling cars to himself. @Weird Car you need to change your name to HMC2

Just got home, and I must say WHAT A CAR!!! it’s like driving around in one of those ‘silent rooms’ honestly it’s so quiet at around 30mph that i could actually hear my blood pumping, I had to turn the radio on so I wouldn’t go insane, and at 70 you can hear the absolute faintest of road noise, averaged 35 to the gallon and used roughly a quarter of a tank coming home, comfort wise it’s not as plush as the Rolls but it’s honestly not far off at all, I’m really happy with it!

New car incoming today to replace the Hearse, something I’ve had my eye on for a little while, it’s going to be a very interesting and slow drive home, stay tuned 

[Mally]

Slower than a Hearse?

Reportedly good for 100mph in its day but that day was an awfully long time ago

Hope the ‘conquest’  of the roads goes well today !

Don't be daft, nobody on here can afford a mk1 Escort!

I heard the weather wherever she’s going is ‘majestic’ 

[Mally]

Ah!

[Weird Car]

So just stopped at a random services in Devon for fuel and look what I’ve seen, I don’t know if this has cursed the collection caper but OMG what are the odds? 

[mintwth]

Devon knows how they make it so crusty

It lives to fight another day!

Kinda warms the cockles a little bit that someone  patched it up again!

As its showing as taxed I assume its being used, I wonder if they have repaired it or are just using its MOT exemption to tax it.

All of us right now

Recovery on the way  either over heated or fuelling issue, we’ll get her home and going again though, I really like it 

[comfortablynumb]

Bloody German cars, they're always breaking down!

Oh hang on...

Hope you get sorted rapidly @Weird Car🙏

Turns out it did indeed curse the collection, oh well, homeward bound via low loader 

[Mally]

I'd love to own that, even broken down.

[Marshall2810]

Hope you get it back and sorted 

[Weird Car]

And home! 
It’s a really lovely car to drive when it worked, hopefully I’ll have it back up and running soon

What exactly are the symptoms? Both should be fairly obvious.

It was running fine until I had to put fuel in it, they only had e10 at the pumps and the fuel gauge doesn’t work so I thought I’d risk it, when paying for the fuel I noticed it dripping from the radiator so topped it up and it was fine for an hour or so, as I’m joining a slip road it was down in power, coughing and spluttering, then died and wouldn’t re start
