Very nice, got a soft spot for Metro's

Haven't we already got one of these threads somewhere?

Apologies but thats probably buried far far away in the past lol! Time for some new pics? :D

Go on then!

 

Let's start in a bad place. The CX. Currently knackered because the fuel pump isn't pumping. Does look nice and is sublime when working!

A better Citroen. My BX TGD which has been brilliant. Yes, I've spent money on it, but it's been brilliant.

 

This is how it started out last September.

Then we went silly with some stickers...

And drove it all around France - here at the Loheac motor museum. Well worth a visit

The Westminster. Soon to depart hopefully... (forgot to include the sunvisor, anyone need one?)

The Mini. Wife's Daily. Currently not charging very well again, even though it's got a nearly-new alternator. Mind you, my wife keeps leaving the headlights on which doesn't help...

Lastly, the 2CV, giving it some hoon as usual. I'll never be without a 2CV!

Thank you all soooo much, keep posting your "shite" on here. BTW, what defines a shite?

Well I guess it's been a year since I'd updated that last thread and my cars have changed since then.

Up until last Friday I was driving this right ol' piece of shite:

I'm now driving a 'future shite' car...with an un-shite spec (sorry for the dark pics):

Ok, here goes!

 

This is my pride and joy, which most of you have seen by now. It is a 1985 Mercedes W123 230E with a 5 speed manual 'box. I've had it just over a year, spent some money on it but it rewarded me recently with a No Advisories MoT pass:

 

FieldW123.jpg

 

This is my daily hack. I bought it unseen via EBay about 3 weeks and I love it. It is a 1992 E36 BMW 320i with a 5 speed manual 'box. Runs sweet, drives great and returns over 30MPG on my commute. I plan to keep it until February and sell it with short t n' t:

Finally, this is my wife's car. I bought it new and planned to use it myself but I got mega bored with it after a couple of months.It is a 2008 Renault Megane SportsHatch 1.4 with.... a 5 speed manual 'box! I guess it's ok, if you like that sort of thing:

I don't have a picture of the O/H's MK3 Disastra estate...

Not especially fast, woefully low-geared, and doesn't handle particularly well, but quite nice looking (IMO) and very easy on the wallet to own, which was exactly what I needed when I bought it....Biggest attribute though, is comfort. It did 655 miles to Ullapool in a day without so much as a numb bum! :)

Bluebird *FOR SALE* by the way...

awesomenissanbluebirdoflovesept2010008.jpg

 

There's an old 190E in here somewhere...

mercandfishtanksaug10001.jpg

 

I've only got one picture of this (my daily) because it's a partially scene taxed VW. Also I don't want anyone to think I bat for the other side (because I don't) and I don't want people to think I live VWs, because I don't...

Oh, and the bee in a biscuit tin Vespa, currently keeping some Far East company in cheap shit clutch cable inners...

Here's my VW engined Volvosaurus, pictured during the mine trip. It looks quite shiny in this picture but it was actually so filthy that I washed it as soon as I got home.

IMG_3253.jpg

povo spec 200 4-speed manual. Bought off Martin buckley of c&sc. Lots of filler in the rear arches

 

IMG_3703.jpg

picked up yesterday. Bought dirt cheap- Ill have to get back to you wether or not it was a good Idea. Had sat in a lockup for a bit, had a 250 mile journey ahead of me but got me back no probs (with even the cruise control working) its a 4.0

Posted

Nice!, I bet that number plate on the 300 TE is worth a few quid, I really like it, The Jag is nice as well, It doesn't look like a total rust heap neither.

Posted

Thanks! I have to admit the other thread about xj40s has made me question my sanity about gettiing hold a cheapie- my reconning was if it turned out to be a real dog I could weigh it in or break it and cover my costs.

Here goes - and listing me here makes me realise I really need to sell some :cry:

I also have a 1988 Fiesta 950 pop in white 40k from new but cant find a picture of that one.. I think thats it !!!!!!!!

Posted
Thats a lovely looking capri 8) has it has much bodywork done in your ownership?

 

Cheers

No it's totally original (has had an o/s wing at some point assume from a knock in it's early days)

I bought it off a guy who only used it in summer months since 1990 - i bought it with 56,000 in 2002 and it's now got 61,000 (Ithink!!)

Never been welded (other than that wing !!) and dosn't need any :shock:
