Decisions, decisions...

[Cavcraft]

Decided I'm unlikely to ever get round to do anything to my Merc and it's been in the garage since the year dot. Put a lot of time, effort and polish in to it over the years but need the garage back and it's dead money sat where it is.

Now, here's the rub: I've been offered a sum for it which'd do to clear it out of the way and I can almost certainly keep a couple of decent parts for it which'll see me a few more quid, BUT....the car will be cut up and fucked off abroad. It'd be a waste of a nice car but garage rent, lack of room/time/mojo and the need to have at least one completely clear garage are making me think.

 

I have tried to offload it (very) recently for what I think is a fair price but nothing doing. I think I already know the outcome but what would you do?

Throw Warren a message, as he was making some noises a few weeks ago about 190E's

Then fingers crossed it is still "withing the family" - so to speak

[Cavcraft]

Hey, Warren's gone all posh on us now and got a 200E I think.

[warren t claim]

If you want to try the fuel pump relay out of my E200 to see if that's what's faulty then let me know. Shame to send it over the bridge for want of a few hours work.

[Father Ted]

Take the money and run.

Its only a car FFS.

Hell, I'll come and hold the blow torch....

[gearoil]

Time for it to go.

 

I know where you are coming from with this one Cavette, I'm doing the same with my XR4x4.

[Cavcraft]

Balls to it, it's time to go. I'll keep the new wing and nab the tinted rear lights and it can piss off to Nigeria.

[barrett]

Fair enough, it's been sat there for god knows how long. Seems a shame to have it if you never use it, and you can buy some MOTd running shite with the proceeds!

[Cavcraft]

Temporary replacement already lined up.

[Father Ted]

Is it a VW?

[Akron]

Not another Pisshat.

[Cavcraft]

Is it a VW?

 

 

We've already got another collander thanks.

[ashmicro]

 

You know you want to Billy.

[Cavcraft]

Keep it to yourself but I have peverse sort of hankering for one of those.

 

It's a nineteen ninety something Celica. Definately not a keeper.

[sporty-shite]

Shame to see the Merc go, Billy, but I know where you're coming from. Celica's a good choice as long as it's not a 1.8, as they're particularly slow!

 

Maybe you'd want to try a nice Mk2 Mondeo, I know you have a very secret horn for them

Yes, yes indeed. In the same way I have a secret horn for washing my eyes in battery acid.

 

Transpires the Celica is a 1.8
