AnnoyingPentium Posted July 28 Posted July 28 With the demise of the Skoda after 5½ years and 68k miles, I've had to pull the trigger on a new (to me, obviously) sensible daily. It's been viewed by @Ghosty on my behalf and I've been told it's bloody tidy. Some of you already know what it is as I can't hold my own water, but don't spoil the wonderful* surprise. The time at writing is 0814 hours and my lift should arrive at 0900... I probably should get out of bed. PicantoJon, bangernomics, 5speedracer and 17 others 19 1
EyesWeldedShut Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Lift? OTIS or Schindler? These things matter My guess is ...... Japanese, estate - possibly a Totota with badermatic AnnoyingPentium, High Jetter and PicantoJon 3
AnnoyingPentium Posted July 28 Author Posted July 28 I think I'd rather spend five hours in an OTIS than a Corsa B on coilovers but I'm grateful nevertheless that I (hopefully) won't need to take a billion trains

Supernaut Posted July 28 Posted July 28 I know what it is, as I've seen it elsewhere. It's actually a huge surprise I haven't quite recovered from yet. Really out of character for AnnoyingPentium to go for something like this. Should be an epic collection thread! Sunny Jim, PicantoJon, JMotor and 2 others 4 1

grogee Posted July 28 Posted July 28 May your windscreen washer fluid be topped up and your indicator bulbs flash brightly. I'm not 'in the know' but I hope it's one of these. AnnoyingPentium and eddyramrod 1 1
