[steve_earwig]

For sale: 1979 Morris Marina 1.3 estate, no careful owners, slight disaster in the bodywork... 25,000€ ono.

Right dont move ill buy it now, i know you said 25k euros its not the right price for me, ill give you £75k along with my own car.
My dad had a marina he said it was a reasonable car when it worked which was a rare occasion and the wheel fell off, then he made a bigger mistake and bought an allegro and its wheel also fell off and the suspension collapsed. So after that you cant blame him for not buying british leyland stuff he bought a datsun sunny.

As for the terribleness of the vectras handling, i got one for £70 just an old banger for the scrap equipped with the awful 1.7td, but my cousin and i had a race through the fields he was in the vectra and i was in the 1.3 suzuki samurai, it didnt take long to overtake him and for fairness i was in 2wd mode, and he behind me, i took a sharp corner in the samurai which is famous for falling over easilly it didnt fall over, and then my cousin took the same turn in the vectra and couped it over on its side thats how terrible its handling is if a suzuki samurai can outhandle it.

I am sooo not offering to mow your back garden how long?

Is that a stream at the bottom?

I wanted a street-view nosey too but they probably couldn't be arsed to do you yet?

[steve_earwig]

I don't know, I've never measured it Yep, Donja Reka - "Lower River"

Google Streetview of Croatia What were they doing it with over there, some tiny car? Google Streetveiw of the roads we could get up without loosing our sump. Even the ambulances have to be 4x4 here.

Anyway, excuse me, I'm off to get some "minor cosmetic surgery" (i.e. a mole cut off). The surgeon's name? Milošević Me, scared? What makes you think that?

Good luck with Mr Milošević

A friend of ours had a mole removed.........cue one 60mm long slice later it was a biggy and they had to go deeper and needed the room

Hope this makes you feel better

No chance here, I even saw a Police Glof remove its sump and that was further back than I managed to get my D8.

Oooh, speaking of which, I just saw a lovely D8 estate, silver grey exec with black full leather. It had an LPG filler on it so I'm thinking V6. I had half a mind to hang about and ask the owner if he wanted a swap.

Good luck with Mr Milošević

Mr Milošević was a really nice bloke. Unfortunately we had to wait around for a couple of hours (some sort of emergency) but once he got going he soon worked his way through to me. He spoke good English so I didn't need the wife to translate. He kept saying "be cool" - and I kept thinking "this is a robbery!" The whole thing was no big deal, I was a touch nervous but by the end of it I even had the nurse giggling.

Awww, nice one, be weird losing a mole (in a place you'd normally see it) have you thought about having a prosthetic mole to replace it with?

[steve_earwig]

This one was only a tiny tiny one but started to get real big in the last year or so, still only about a quarter of an inch, so I don't think I'll miss it.

Was pretty obvious though, it was on my neck and with the big dressing I've got on it now it looks like I should be grabbing up the crucifixes and garlic

[Welly]

Yeah they've taken to cutting them out over here in the last few years. I'm surprised the Croat's [spelling?] haven't found a crazy way of removing them....like tying the mole to a car and driving off...or, setting fire to it with Vodka

PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN AT NIGHT SO BODYWORK IS NOT REALLY VISIBLE, SOON I WILL MAKE NEW PHOTOS

I.e. when he finds a bigger tree to hide it behind I dunno about you guys but I can't wait!

[FarmerPug]

soon i will make new photos that conjures up images of him taking photos with some old mechanical camera, going down to his basement and preforming the whole chemical reaction process of actually developing them and then somehow digitalising them for the internet. On the topic of fiat here is a nice one:

Look at them lines, that car was deigned with a plum line and spirit level to ensure no curves exhisted, ive never owned one of these old shape ones but i wouldnt mind a 4x4 one.

[Doggy]

At least Bert One has been thoroughly valetted. Not a comb, scissors or hairpin in sight

[omega]

i love this thred

[Welly]

Gotta love that crushed-velour interior

What a retard for taking pictures at night (tip: wait 8 or so hours and the sun rises, bathing everything as it does in light, you know, handy for taking pictures of things you want to sell on the internet)

Would it be too much trouble to drive or push the thing out of its hidey-hedge so we can get a good looky?
