2004/05 - Shitters Revisited

[AXrescuer]

Loved this car, we had it as a standby when our Granada was being sorted. Paid £260 for it but I think we let the local car collection service have it for nowt when the heater matrix disintegrated.

 

Behold our old Renault 25 C747 HNY. You can also see our Pug 505 estate parked in the background.

My trousers just exploded.

 

I really, REALLY, like that. I WANT that.

 

What happend to it?

[Shep Shepherd]

I'vce always liked the look of the R25, but I don't think I'd ever own one, due to the model's perceived unreliability. I lament the fact that there are so few left nowadays.

[AXrescuer]

I heard from someone that it had been put back on the road, never bothered to check on that though.

Moving onto 2005, the fleet consisted of these:

 

Rover 214SLi (£400), Mitsubishi Space Wagon (£150) and a Ford Mondeo 1.8 Verona (£120).

My favourite of that year though was my old Volvo 740 GLE for which I paid £250 and came with a box of paperwork heavier than a set of encyclopaedias!.

Crappy, failure-prone dashboard instruments, saggy headlinings and the PRV-V6 aside, what is there not to love about the Volvo 700 Series?

Looks like the Renner didn't live on after all

Vehicle Colour BEIGE

That 740 had none of those faults and it came to me with a perfect black leather headliner!

The R25 was metallic gold as I recall. Dunno why it was listed as being beige.

Back in 2005, we also invested £190 in this, our 3rd Pug 505GR.
