Project Wanted

M · Post by M » Tue May 27, 2008 1:57 pm

After a couple of months looking at an empty space on the driveway I find myself in need of something to fill it. Had a look at a few cars (not all of them Citroens), but all seem overpriced crap (though I suppose the current scrap values have a lot to do with that)

Anyone got any ideas

No, I'm getting to like empty spaces on the drive

OK not a Citroen, but I think a Fiat 127 or indeed an Eastern European (Lada, Skoda Estelle or 136 or something else, small and European might be interesting.

If it was to be a Citroen, how about a Visa Decapotable (or whatever it's called!)?

Do you want my Rover? Yours for nothing if you have the means to take it away!

I thought we had spoken about that one Stuart? The one in deepest darkest Essex with the partially dismantled brakes? Believe me if it was half as near to me I would be off down Braithwaites to hire a flatbed faster than you can say Antidisestablishmentarianism....
Something a bit closer to home is needed really - sorry, but I do quite fancy a P6 - I know where there is another spares car locally too, but its too far gone to slavage bodily.

They're on the shelf with the rocking horse poo and hens teeth

And, no, you can't have mine! Not least, because it would probably fall in half if pushed onto a trailer

2CV? If you can find one that has been re-chassied, but is otherwise a bit rough, shouldn't be too much

Worse than that even - Bromley/Kent.

I'm wondering if there's any way around this, meet half way or something like that... I will ponder. The old Breakdown Cover trick might not work on this one.

Erm... No.

What you need Marty is a nice GS or GSA

But anyway what does SWMBO think about you filling the space on the driveway

Mark.

How about this sporty little plastic bird magnet with nice home made looking velour interior and kwality dash - definately a 'project' - better hurry only three hours to go!!

I'm sure you could find reasons to say no, but why would you want to!?

My GSA is still available, still runs well (had a cheeky run around the block at the weekend) and still has MOT

I can do a special 'skint and need some money' cheap as chips price...
