Aaah, memories...

[wuvvum]

Last night I was searching through my Photobucket account to try and find pictures of my old Rayton, and in the process I spent a happy half hour reminiscing about some of the gems I've owned over the years. I thought some on here might appreciate pictures of some of them - I haven't got photos of anything like all the cars I've owned (didn't get a digital camera till 2003, and even then I only took pics of cars when I was selling them, and I didn't always keep the pics), but below are some of the more interesting ones I do have, in roughly chronological order.

 

I'm not sure how many pics you can fit in one post, so I'm going to do ten per post.

 

 

 

Jetta 1.5 GLS auto. Bought before the heady days of OMG DUB SCENE TAX YO, I purchased this tidy two-owner 70k-mile car from Sheffield for £250 with a year's test. It was a lovely thing to drive - I used it as my daily for some time.

 

 

Citroën CX 25RI Familiale. This was my third CX, and I used it as my tow car for several months.

 

 

Merc 230E. Bought from a mate and sold two days before Christmas 2006 to two blokes whose car had died and who needed it to get home.

 

 

Saab 99. This one wasn't particularly interesting, but it was cheap.

 

 

HA Viva. I loved this car - it had had a 1256cc Chevette engine fitted and went like the clappers. Was my daily for ages. Bought for £175 BIN off the Bay, the bloke delivered it from Yorkshire for an extra £75 as he needed it out the way. Needed a bit of work for its test, but nothing excessive, and was solid as a rock.

 

 

Hyundai S Coupe. Bought purely because it was dirt cheap, this was actually a surprisingly pleasant car.

 

 

Dolomite 1850 auto. The autobox ruined it, but it drove nicely apart from that. Paid £100 for it - no T&T though.

 

 

Maserati Biturbo - I bought this on a bit of a whim. It was up in Leeds, and I trailered it home despite it being T&T'd. Not the most reliable car I've ever owned, but good fun when it was working properly, if a little hairy at times - RWD, twin turbos, no PAS and a wood-rim steering wheel are not always an ideal combination. Sold it to some bloke in Germany in the end.

 

 

LDV 400. Bought purely because it was the first 400 I'd seen for sale with slidey doors. It was painfully slow though, so I sold it after a couple of months.

 

 

My first Metrocab. It had just had an expensive gearbox rebuild, but whoever rebuilt it didn't put enough ATF in it, so it was on its way out again by the time I bought it.

[dollywobbler]

Good stuff. I should show your list to my wife and then point out that really, I do not have a problem with excessive car buying! (and then ask if I can buy another random snotter...)

[Pete-M]

You had a BiTurbo?

 

YOU MAD BUGGER

 

Impressed.

 

Not many cars you'd trailer home even though they've got tax'n'test, but that has to be the only reliable way of getting one of those from one place to another.

[wuvvum]

 

100E Prefect. This would have been quite pleasant to drive if it had had a proper gearbox - it handled well enough and made a lovely noise.

 

 

D Series recovery truck. This was a proper heap, but still great fun to drive, at anything above walking pace at least (no PAS).

 

 

 

Pair of Frogeye Scorpios. The estate was a 24v Cosworth, the saloon was a VM-engined TD. Both a complete PITA with electrical gremlins, and the diesel had a leaky heater matrix too.

 

 

Rascal van. This was great fun, and possibly the most terrifying way to do 70mph that I've ever experienced.

 

 

635CSi. This wasn't as good as it looked, and I lost a lot of money on it. Snapped its propshaft two days after I bought it, racing a Punto GT away from the lights. Great to drive while it lasted though.

 

 

My first Alfasud, a 1.5 Ti. I drove this back from Sheffield, and used it as my daily for a while - never gave me any trouble, and went like the clappers too. Eventually sold it when the MoT ran out and it needed lots of welding in awkward places to pass.

 

 

CX GTI Turbo. I loved this car - it really was quite incongruously fast for something with only 165bhp.

 

 

Toyota 1000 estate. This is one I really should have kept. Great little thing to drive around town, if hopelessly low-geared on the open road.

 

 

Merc 230TE. Bought out of the Freeads for £150 with long MoT, this was a better car than I was expecting - was my first W124, but probably won't be my last.

[greengartside]

Er, Wuvvum...that CX Estate wasn't F567 OPC was it?

 

It's at a garage near mine, been sat for a while. I have a photo on flickr of it!

[wuvvum]

 

Series III Sovereign. This was actually a really nice car, dodgy bonnet hinge notwithstanding. 4.2 auto so a bit thirsty, but surprisingly quick.

 

 

FB Victor. Amazingly this was actually completely rot free, but it had a column gear change that I could never get to work properly, so I eventually got frustrated and sold it. Turned out there was a bush missing in the linkage.

 

 

Saab 900 Turbo auto. Bit of an epic journey to collect this one - it was in Thoralby (N. Yorks, near the Cumbrian border) and the first time I went up with a van'n'trailer the van did a driveshaft just north of Ripon, and I had to drive home, sans Saab, at 35mph. I then had to borrow a car and go back the following weekend to pick it up. So it ended up owing me far more than it was worth. Was basically a sound car though, and had a delightful red velour interior.

 

 

Toyota Hiace camper. I bought this from Bicester and drove it home. It hadn't moved from the bloke's driveway in two years and the clutch was slipping like an arse - at one point I could take my foot off the throttle in second gear and the revs would just drop to idle. Negotiating Luton was fun. Then it started raining and the nut holding the driver's side wiper arm came loose, so I had to look out the passenger side to see where I was going. Then it got dark and I found I had no dipped beams. It still made it back to Norwich under its own power though - Japanese engineering FTW.

 

 

Ford Taurus. This was a 3.0 V6 and went bloody well - handled surprisingly nicely too. Had a pimptastic bright red velour interior.

 

 

Iveco Daily recovery truck. Bought for £300 with loads of test - seller had put it in the wrong section on eBay, and it also needed Easistart to start from cold. I put it back on eBay after a couple of months as it was attracting too much pikey interest - made the mistake of listing it with the starting problem, then going out and buying new glow plugs for it which made it start on the button, so the buyer got a bit of a bargain. I still made a profit though.

 

 

Commer Walkthrough burger van. I swapped this for a Volvo 480. It was a great old bus, with a Perkins 4.236 that started on the button. Only did about 48mph flat out and was impossibly noisy, but would pull a house down and could also be slung round corners surprisingly well. I sold it to a chap from Cornwall, who came up on the train, arrived in Norwich at 1.45am, jumped in and headed for home - 400 miles at 48mph with a 4.236 hammering away next to his left knee, braver man than me.

 

 

OMG RWD OSF. This was a 1.6 Ghia - OSF tax was already on its way up when I bought this, but for some reason this particular car seems to have missed out, as I paid £350 for it with plenty of T&T. Had been mildly tuned and fitted with a 1600GT gearbox and went like the clappers, until it melted a piston at 100mph on the A47 - still kept up with traffic even running on three though. Another one I should have kept and fixed.

 

 

Freight Rover 350 recovery truck. This had a 2.5 Land Rover diesel and was painfully slow, but was useful for shifting cars around locally. Eventually sold to some neighbours of Pog's.

 

 

This slightly boring-looking Renault 21 was actually an ultra-rare Quadra, complete with 12-valve 2-litre engine, rear diff lock and ridiculously low gearing. Cornered like it was on rails, as you would expect.

[wuvvum]

Er, Wuvvum...that CX Estate wasn't F567 OPC was it?

 

It's at a garage near mine, been sat for a while. I have a photo on flickr of it!

I do believe it was! Is the front end still smashed up?

[autohausdolby]

That Inari Jetta looks very much like one I had - same car?

 

[autohausdolby]

In fact, reading back, it's from Sheffield so it was me you bought it off I assume Nice car, but the wrong time for me

[Mr_Bo11ox]

What a great thread. I proper LOL'd at the burger van, what a weapon. I would LOVE to see what Ms_Bol would say if I rocked up in that!!! I would pay £50 just to find out, (if the current owner happens to be reading)

[Pete-M]

Tis a rather splendid thread. Wuvvum is some kinda shite hero. I draw the line at burger vans and ratty Ivecos.

 

Wuvvum doesn't appear to have a line to cross. There's some weapons grade, top drawer, AA loyalty card shitters there. Respect

[wuvvum]

 

Princess. This was a 2200HL manual, lovely to drive, but needed more work for a test than I was prepared to shell out for at the time, so got sold on.

 

 

This was my second A40. This one had a 1275cc Midget engine fitted and went like poo off a spade. This photo was taken after I'd sold it - it didn't have the number on the side during my ownership.

 

 

Vanden Plas 1500 auto. I actually owned this twice - I originally bought it for £70 at a classic car auction, it was MoT'd and running but in a bit of a state. I kept it for a year or so then gave it to a mate who did it up, and I eventually had it back off him. Hopelessly slow, but very comfortable and handled far better than I'd expected.

 

 

Triumph 2000 auto. I drove this back from Kent, but the engine started knocking soon after I bought it, so I sold it on.

 

 

1938 Vauxhall Ten. This was in the spares section on the Bay so I got it for £400. It'd been off the road since 1968 (one previous owner from new!) but actually didn't take much to get it up and running, although the water pump was leaking and the wipers were seized solid. Drove quite nicely for a '30s car. Eventually sold to someone in Germany.

 

 

Honda Spacy. I loved this bike - used it to go to work on until the clutch disintegrated.

 

 

Renault Novaquatre. Another one I should have kept. I paid £1000 for this, which was a bargain for an up'n'running vintage car. Drove beautifully too - had a 2.4-litre sidevalve engine which wasn't hugely powerful but had loads of torque, and the car would cruise at 60 quite happily. Handled amazingly well for something on beam axles too, with a comfortable ride and a good turning circle. Unfortunately it had a water leak that I wasn't aware of and I cooked it. Thinking that I'd never be able to get bits for it I sold it on - I later found out that the same engine was fitted to the Prairie / Colorale (of which Mr. Bickle owns one) well into the '50s, and there are still plenty of those languishing in French scrapyards. Oh well.

 

 

Subaru MV pickup. I loved this truck, but it got pikey'd.

 

 

Volvo 940 TD estate. I bought this for the specific purpose of driving down to the south of France and picking up a load of stuff from my parents' place, including my old Mobylette and their Mirror dinghy. It managed it faultlessly.

 

 

Saab 99. This was one of the first four-door 99s into the country, and was used by Motor magazine for their road test. It had been stood for years when I bought it; it ran OK but the braking system needed a full rebuild, and bits were made of unobtainium (completely different to later 99s) so I eventually sold it.

[wuvvum]

In fact, reading back, it's from Sheffield so it was me you bought it off I assume Nice car, but the wrong time for me

I reckon you're right - the house certainly looks familiar. Small world and all that...

[RoadworkUK]

I'd love a Biturbo, must be incredibly frustrating but oh so rewarding.

 

Maybe by the time I get my own house and enough space a Gandini Quattroporte Evoluzione will be in the shite price arena....

[wuvvum]

 

Ford LTD wagon. This allegedly had a 6.6-litre V8, but was no quicker than a 1.3 Escort. Still a good laugh to drive though, and would seat 10 at a pinch.

 

 

XM estate. This was my second XM. Don't really remember much about it, so it must have been OK.

 

 

Master van. I bought this after selling the slidey-door LDV 400 - it felt like a dragster after that, although it was slow compared to a modern van. It was also the least manoeuvrable van I've ever owned - I sold it after getting completely stuck trying to turn round at the end of a narrow cul-de-sac.

 

 

Triumph 1300 FWD. I bought this from Dover, and it drove home a treat. Lovely little car - would definitely have another.

 

 

Two for the price of one - this is my old diesel Fourtrak (non-turbo, no PAS) towing a Sigma estate. The Sigma was bought from Doncaster and was advertised as being solid, but it soon transpired that much of the underside was being held together by the underseal. I paid far too much for it, sold it to Mr_Bo11ox for half what it owed me, but I think it proved too rusty for even his shite-fixing skillz. It did drive OK though.

 

 

 

Looks OK from a distance, doesn't it?

The Rayton, as seen in the eBay Bargains thread.

 

 

My beloved 164. I've owned this for 7 1/2 years now, although it's been off the road for the last three years due solely to bone-idleness on my part. I got as far as fitting a new fuel pump last week, so it's on the button again now, but it needs new brakes all round and welding on the driver's side sill. I need to get the Skoda off the driveway really and bring the Volvo home - it's far more likely to get fixed here than at my garage 15 miles away.

[wuvvum]

 

Mini Mayfair. Bought for £150, this was actually surprisingly solid, and drove home from Great Yarmouth with no problems. I sold it to a chap from Ireland who'd been let down on a Sprinter van he'd come over to buy - I sold it because I'd bought a souped-up Mini Jet Black, which turned out to have more wrong with it than the Mayfair.

 

 

My most recent Renault 25. This was a TX - about the right level of spec - everything you need but no unnecessary gizmos to go wrong.

 

 

My 750i, with a slightly younger-looking me stood next to it. This was a gorgeous car, but was just too thirsty to use on a regular basis.

 

 

Bond 875. Contrary to appearances this was actually a runner and I did drive it, although the clutch was stuck so had to start it in gear and then do clutchless changes. Went like the clappers, and would certainly have been truly terrifying at its 90mph top speed. I sold it to a chap from Cornwall, who has done absolutely nothing with it.

 

 

Leyland Roadrunner lorry. This is actually slightly out of chronological order as this was the first lorry I owned - bought after watching Johnny English whilst drunk and deciding that I wanted a 7 1/2 tonner to go chasing Daimlers in. Negotiating busy Saturday afternoon traffic in Rotherham was, erm, interesting (I'd never driven anything this big before, or anything with air brakes) but once on the A1 it was fine. It was a turbo as well so was surprisingly nippy.

 

 

2CV Dolly. This was one of the best bargains of my car-buying career - £175 with loads of T&T. Ran it around for a while, then sold it on the Bay for a fat profit.

 

 

Ducato van. This is the one that did a driveshaft on the way to collect the Saab. It was only a 1.9 diesel, but it went surprisingly well. Next to it is my beloved LT40 van, which I had for years until it eventually got nicked. 2.4 straight six petrol - sounded gorgeous.

 

 

Simca van. Bought from Sheffield, I made the mistake of paying for this with Paypal before I collected it. When I got there it had a snapped torsion bar and wouldn't start (turns out the seller had wired the points the wrong way round). A new set of points got it going, but I never got round to doing the torsion bar as the council started moaning about the van so I had to sell it.

 

 

Daisy the rusty camper van. This had had some truly dreadful welding work done on it over the years. It also had a blown head gasket, although it ran and drove when I bought it. I only paid £112 for it though. I did the head gaskets, but after the second theft attempt by pikeys I sold it.

 

 

Daimler Conquest Century. Another one I regret selling, but it wouldn't fit in the garage and I didn't want to leave it stood outside all winter. Lovely car to drive - pre-selector 'box and everything.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

 

 

 

 

My first Alfasud, a 1.5 Ti. I drove this back from Sheffield, and used it as my daily for a while - never gave me any trouble, and went like the clappers too. Eventually sold it when the MoT ran out and it needed lots of welding in awkward places to pass.

 

I have a feeling I used to own that. It's a TiX made in late 1981 but registered 82/83 by Alfa GB when they were on Edgware Road. I'm thinking I had it in 1994/5....?

[wuvvum]

 

Bargain XJ40 - £320 if memory serves.

 

 

2.6 petrol Shogun - this was amusing in the wet.

 

 

My first ADO16 - this was bought off a professional John Cleese lookalike, and had a wire rigged up under the dash linked to a shotgun cartridge under the bonnet so it could be made to "backfire" at will.

 

 

Carlton auto estate, bought off a certain Viva-loving shiter. Lovely-looking old car, drove nicely too.

 

 

Volvo 245. This was a 2.1i auto, in wonderfully battle-scarred condition. This was destined for the Dungeon, but unfortunately got nicked at the height of the scrap price silliness.

 

 

Hillman Minx. I drove this back from Melksham, in the pouring rain, with no wipers. Turned out the entire wiper linkage was seized to buggery, so I swapped it after a week or so for...

 

 

Cavalier 1.6L. This was great fun - I'll definitely have another Mk1 Cav one day, hopefully a 2 litre GL.

 

 

Mazda 323 Turbo. I think I paid £150 for this - it was barely running when I got it and was advertised as losing water, but a change of plugs and a new distributor cap (the one on there was all furred up) had it purring, and a bottle of Radweld cured the water loss. Unfortunately it suffered from overboosting, which would suddenly and quite brutally cut the fuelling. After exhausting my (extremely limited) knowledge trying to sort the problem, I eventually gave up and sold it.

 

 

Mazda 121. I bought this on the same day as the 323 above. I loved this car - it was my daily for ages. Went like hell - would sit at the ton quite happily, and saw off a variety of 3 series and A4s in traffic light grands prix. I only sold it when I moved house - it was out of T&T by then and needed some work, and I didn't have space for it.

 

 

Mk3 Zephyr. I could never get this bloody thing to run right - I sold it to a mate in the end.

[pbottomley]

OMG Not that old barge....

 

 

 

Did it fall apart around you ?

[dollywobbler]

Wow. This just gets better and better!

[wuvvum]

 

My first 166. I went all the way to Cardiff for this, but it was the cheapest one I'd seen for sale at that time. It was a 2.0 TS and the variator was noisy, but it drove fine for a big car with a relatively small engine.

 

 

Renault 9 Turbo. I bought this on the same day as the 166 above. I kept it for a while and then sold it to a mate - I don't like to talk about what he did with it.

 

 

 

Early 900 Turbo, with the wrong back lights and an amusingly blue interior. I kept this for quite a while, sold it during the big house move - I think it went to Ireland. It only had a four-speed box, with a massive gap between third and fourth, so high-speed overtaking was interesting.

 

 

The 304 - I bought this from Reading, with a little assistance from R.Welfare of this parish who picked me up from the station. It was a lovely thing to drive, and I used it as my daily for a while, even giving Spottedlaurel a lift to the Ace Café and back in it. Heater was pants though. The Justy next to it was also mine - brilliant to drive, but rotten as a pear.

 

 

2-litre Pinto-engined Transit - this was bloody quick, but suffered from fuel starvation issues.

 

 

Rover 214 Si.

 

 

Mazda 323 auto. This was a sweet little car, had a blown head gasket but still ran and drove OK. It got vandalised though when some drunken twat decided to jump on the roof, and I sold it to Utterpiffle / The_Scrapman, who was going to drop the body onto a modified MX5 floorpan.

 

 

Renault 9 Boston. This was a surprisingly pleasant car to drive.

 

 

My baby. This was one of the few cars that I decided from the moment I first saw it on the Bay that I was going to own it no matter what, and nothing - not even a bidding war with Pog - was going to stop me. I probably paid too much for it - it appeared fairly solid, but on closer inspection a lot of the repairs had been done with metal of a similar gauge to tin foil, and the repair to the NSR trailing arm mount soon failed - but I don't regret a penny. It drove back from Kent when I bought it, and made it up to the bubble car museum at Newark and back without missing a beat. It still starts every time, even after sitting in the garage for a couple of months. I pulled it out a couple of weeks ago after Bo11ox posted the Gazoline article and gave it a good going over, which involved removing various bits of trim and used the best part of a bottle of Kurust. But that wasn't unexpected...

[wuvvum]

OMG Not that old barge.... Did it fall apart around you ?

Not quite - in fact it towed the 9 Turbo back from Northants quite happily. It did fail its next MoT rather dismally though...

[barrett]

Dare I ask for MOAR?

 

The early 99 4 door is a really lovely-looking thing, I think something like that is on my 'one day' list. Great colour and general patina too.

[autohausdolby]

It was you, I remember the Simca van as well It used to belong to a bus driver at Olive Grove bus depot, I walked past it on my way into town in the olden days

[wuvvum]

 

Volvo 460 Turbo. This car pretty much defined the term "sleeper". It went like hell - my 900 T16S struggled to keep up with it.

 

 

Renault 5 auto. This was actually pretty well shagged - the steering rack had dangerous amounts of play (and auto racks are pretty much unobtainable), the electrics were all over the shop, it was a bugger to start from cold and guzzled petrol like it was going out of fashion, and everything just felt worn out despite the lowish mileage. When the gearbox computer failed for the second time and locked the thing in third gear it was the final straw, and I'm sorry to say it got weighed in.

 

 

My second ADO16. I drove this back from Hull one February night, and was freezing my bits off the whole way home as it had no heater. Imagine my consternation the next day when I discovered that it was just the cable that had snapped and pulling the heater valve under the bonnet resulted in a lovely flow of warm air. Great little car though.

 

 

My second Metrocab. This was a manual, and far better to drive than the first one (not that that's saying much...)

 

 

Renner Twelve. Bought this off Torsten. Was thoroughly impressed by how nice it was to drive - a lot like the 304, but a lot quicker.

 

 

Toyota Celsior. This remains the best-equipped car I've ever owned (auto headlights, height-adjustable air suspension, electric massaging rear seats, separate stereo in rear centre armrest), and unusually for a Celsior it all worked. I sold this to gtvsaviour off Retro Rides, because I bought...

 

 

Cadillac STS. I loved this car - it was so tacky it was brilliant. Northstar V8 was absolutely epic, and amazingly it coped with 300bhp through the front wheels with little apparent difficulty. Cornering wasn't its strong point though. But it did have this interior.

 

 

 

Built-in minidisc player.

 

 

Mazda MX3. This broke down three times on the way home from Maidstone, but was great fun to drive when it was working, and sounded lovely being a 1.8 V6.

[wuvvum]

It was you, I remember the Simca van as well It used to belong to a bus driver at Olive Grove bus depot, I walked past it on my way into town in the olden days

I think that's probably who I bought it off - he certainly had an old Plaxton-bodied bus that he was converting into a camper. He was into bikes as well.

[eddyramrod]

This is some collection! Well done Mr Wuvvum!

 

Your Roadrunner truck would have a six-pot TD of nearly 6 litres, from memory; I used to drive one with a curtainsider body. It was a brilliant tool around town, nothing could catch me.

 

Pretty damned eclectic, on the whole: I approve!

[wuvvum]

 

Iveco Turbo Daily camper van. This was an automatic, so wonderfully easy to drive, but it suffered from only being a 3-speed - the ratios were like 2nd, 3rd and 4th on a manual Daily, so it was sluggish off the line and ran out of revs at 63, but went like the clappers in between. Sold it when I moved house as I decided my new neighbours probably wouldn't appreciate something that size parked outside my house.

 

 

Another BOGOF photo - my Patrol (2.8-litre petrol) towing (just about...) a JU250 van which I'd just collected from York. Patrol got written off by a mate whom I'd lent it to; JU250 proved very useful in taking stuff to the dump in preparation for the move, and turned some heads at the council tip.

 

 

Here's the JU van on its own.

 

 

Skoda Estelle 120L Jubilee. Currently sat on my driveway. I've owned this for four years now.

 

 

Omega GLS V6 manual. GR8 4 drifting. It's parked at the top of the hill as the starter motor was borked.

 

 

BMC ambulance with 2 litre Perkins Prima. This snapped its propshaft on the A52 just outside Derby when the underslung spare wheel carrier collapsed and dropped the wheel onto the prop at 50mph. This locked up the rear wheels, which was interesting in a '60s van with no PAS or seatbelts and loads of play in the steering. It also severed the brake pipes and the handbrake cable, and cracked the bellhousing. We dragged it off the dual carriageway with my Trooper and the AA towed it home.

 

 

My second X1/9. This had been sat in a garage for years but soon fired up and I had great fun whizzing around in it for a few days before selling it to a mate. Cortina was owned by said mate - it was a 2 litre manual, and bloody quick.

 

 

Giulietta. Trailered this home from somewhere in Notts, soon got it running and driving, and it was surprisingly solid too. GR8, thinks I, this one's looking like a keeper. Except it got stolen.

 

 

This was fun. 3.5-tonne Saviem tipper trailered back from Gloucestershire behind my Trooper. The weight did for one of the tyres on the trailer after a few miles; I'd already used the spare when another tyre blew while towing the Giulietta the previous day, so I had to call the AA who took it to a garage to have two new tyres fitted (at great expense). The recovery driver ended up pulling the trailer, with Saviem still on it, up onto the back of his tilt'n'slide Renault Midlum. The ensemble leaned amusingly round roundabouts. Once the tyres had been replaced I towed it the rest of the way home without issue though. It was surprisingly nice to drive - quite nippy being a 2.6 petrol, handled well and rode surprisingly well too due to coil springs all round.

 

 

Cinquecento. I paid £80 for this with 6 months' test and used it as a daily for quite a while.

[worldofceri]

How is it folk on here always look approx 0% like you imagine them?

 

 

My 750i, with a slightly younger-looking me stood next to it. This was a gorgeous car, but was just too thirsty to use on a regular basis.

[wuvvum]

How is it folk on here always look approx 0% like you imagine them?

LOL! How did you imagine me then?
