DoctorRetro Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Ooh, can I play? This should be a laugh. Started the year with this honey. Toyota Corolla 1.6 Executive But due to having an automatic gearbox and an iffy carb, I sold it. Used part of the proceeds to buy this turd. Rover 218D Which I 'ruined' as a project with my son Should have kept it really, but it fell by the wayside with the next lot of shenanigans. Roffled, won by @Cavcraft who then let me sell it on his behalf to Craig Cheetham for a charity banger rally. It's still going as far as I know. Won my first roffle, got a lift with @Saabnutto Aberdeen to meet @Supernaut to collect this BMW 320 coupe Another automatic, swapped it for this with @NorthernMonkey, kindly delivered by @snagglepuss Ford Galaxy 2.0 Roffled off - I forget who won it. While this was going on, I 'rescued' this from banger racers, thanks to a mystery AS benefactor (who I've finally paid back) Mazda 323 1.5. I failed to fix it, sold it to @BlankFrank who fixed the timing, still kicking myself for missing the obvious. Went through a moment of clarity and bought this from @95 quid Peugeot as a sensible car. Nissan Almera 1.5 Didn't like it, sold it to some Southend chav. Finally found a car I liked and bought it! Broke it. Head gasket. Swapped it with Craig Cheetham for this, Perodua Kelisa 1.0. Put it through an MOT and intended to keep it for a year. Unfortunately/Fortunately I won another roffle! And as I'm not a quitter, I went up to Durham to collect it from @loserone, leaving behind the Perodua which I roffled and was won by @Broadsword Peugeot 306 cabriolet 1.8. Currently having a love/hate relationship with this.. The end... Or is it? loserone, Cavcraft, Six-cylinder and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 After roffling off the green 320 coupe, as mentioned above: I took full ownership of the 316i that @17-Coffees and I bought off ebay back in summer of 2016. Then I stuck some ace wheel trims and some wind deflectors on it, as well as many service items. That's it.

Sir Snipes Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Still got the C4 of doom and many motorway revs. Would have loved this but it appeared at literally the worst time possible ie; just gotten the c4 through the mot, two weeks before Christmas and I've had a dire December for work so no money. Would have snapped it up back in the Summer. Oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike60 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Remainers. 2.8 BMW Z3, been here forever and seen here with it's winter hat and sensible shoes on, Lorinser Mercedes 500 SEC, a very late 2018 arrival on NYE, pretty much unplanned. Currently garaged while the gritters are out to play and wanting a cam chain, tyres. etc. I was pleased it passed it's test with no advisories , it's shown here after a lot of polishing to get it looking like this, it's not always so glamorous Out Porsche 944 2.7, Bought late 2017, sold at a small loss in May but financially that was good, it wanted a fortune spending on it and I never warmed to it. Faithful BMW 530d. Bought for £500 as a stop gap in 2015 and sold for £200 in February with 269000. a cracked exhaust manifold, knackered tyres and 6 weeks test. No one was more surprised than me when it's new keeper got it MOT'd! In. Mercedes E320cdi bought on AS in February. This is reason the 530d finally went, an excellent distance car I aim to keep to keep a good while though my eldest son has other ideas. Of the 8000 miles it's covered with us he's done about 2500 and says the only thing about it he doesn't prefer to his comparable miles/age Honda Accord diesel is the mpg. dome, Skizzer, BorniteIdentity and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I started the year with the Cactus at home and the orange Alessi in hiding. Whilst collecting the Alessi, I acquired the 4x4. I eventually brought the 4x4 home. The Cactus leaves me next week. ? Oh and i technically acquired the green Alessi...

17-Coffees Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 *Tagged by SuperNaut*....*Reads thread* Mhmm..I started the year with a 2015 Abarth 595 I'm going to trade in when the fiance is up in early 2020, as well as an the E36 BMW 316... Then Golf Happened, put 316 up for sale, Supernaut bought it (Okay, Id bought his share of it out less than 6 months before)..Me and the other Half Gallivanted around North East Scotland as well and North East England in it. Then sadly it was used as just a general commuter car during the summer months, which for us so far north was crazy giving us temperatures as high as 20-degrees in September as... Enter the Disastra... Having had it less than 2 weeks and a service* (I drained the oil and filled it with generic HGV spec oil at work...) me and my parents took this ol girl all the way down to the Tank Museum in Somerset and back! And shes still working strong. I Should maybe her another service...once she hits 200K miles, which will be sometime by the end of the year along with the Shell-VPOOOOWAAAH diesel... Only" Dr Abarth or How I learned how I loved to stop Worrying and Love Italia" happened and my plan of giving the Abarth back to FAC changed when they made me an officer "I couldn't refuse..."...

Quoted due to amazingness the french porsche importer entered a 914/6 into Le Mans 1970 and it had a very good run; didn’t need any attention and was very reliable; didnt even need tyres if memory serves.
