  1. That one is parked at newton auctioneers in hyde according to a supplied photo. Get your sherlock holmes hat on and do the necessary due diligence.
  2. It sounds like a selector button is stuck , like when a keyboard key or command key is constantly pressed. While the car is switched off - Maybe try giving all the relevant buttons a good workout i.e. press firmly, press press many times to see if it releases? Just a thought, may help?🤔
  3. They don't get it do they. Even a £200 banger can raise millions of pounds worth of liabilities if the properly insured driver kills someone.
  4. Looks suspiciously like she's thinking of throwing a con rod. That's an old fashioned joke for our younger viewers!🫢
  5. Crazy isn't it? I just wish we could go back to simple things like - bulb gone=replace bulb £10 max. Car won't start - it's either fuel or spark =simple diagnosis and fix. The old Yankee V8 muscle cars got it right, trouble was the build quality on those. Pontiac GTO The Judge is a car that has a 2 door coupé body style with a front positioned engine powering the rear wheels. Its engine is a naturally aspirated petrol, 6.5 litre, overhead valve 8 cylinder with 2 valves per cylinder. In this application it develops 366 bhp (371 PS/273 kW) of power at 5100 rpm, and maximum torque of 603 N·m (445 lb·ft/61.5 kgm) at 3600 rpm. A 4 speed manual 'box delivers the power to the wheels.
  6. Funny isn't it how the people with the real knowledge choose the right cars. My son has a Subaru Legacy estate - Jap import rust free, the one with the WRX 2.0 turbo blueprinted engine ( quite rare ) - runs beautifully and quick too. He swapped me his ISF 2 or 3 yrs ago. Sept 2012 facelift 61K miles Full Lexus SH. Dark Grey metallic. In great condition. H&S catback, currently SORNed after winter. Due out June 1st. Goes like stink but never abused. I considered selling as it does very few miles and is expensive but I just can't bear to lose it. I hope you find a nice one. The Autotrader facelift ones look OK but are a bit pricey. Best of luck, if you find one you will not be disappointed.🫡
  7. Life here Wake Clear neighbours cat poo off back garden Watch tele news Go to Aldi Keep an eye on dogs ( with owners standing by as if nothing is wrong! )using our front garden as a toilet Evening - Glass of german beer Nice home cooked dinner with a good wine Watch Tele Go to bed Get up for a pee Back to bed Get up for breakfast and pills Start all over again wondering if it will ever stop raining But hey, I'm an optimist I wonder what the miserable folk do every day
  8. I bought my car from Stoke and they were very helpful with a document issue that they sorted out for me. Can't really complain, overall they have been helpful and easy to communicate with and the car I bought has been absolutely 100% --- On the other hand they refused to put any more petrol in my new (used) car as it was showing empty.🤨. But maybe I got too good a deal and there was no more money left in it?🤔. Cost me £80 only 5 minutes after buying it.🥲
  9. The last time we toured Spain ( 2 yrs ago at about this time of year ) we had an arbitrary 100€ per night budget. We got 4* hotels, sea views, breakfast sometimes and large double rooms/ suites usually well under our budget. Having checked recently that is still realistic nowadays out of high season especially away from the beaches and city centres. It's a shame what has happened to holiday/ some hotel prices in the UK, we rarely do any UK trips anymore. Spain still represents good value for money IMHO.☺️. PS Night out in a very good restaurant with excellent food aperos and quality wine usually came in at about 50/70€. But if you are really looking for value for money try Andorra, it's a bit of a beggar to get to especially from the French side but the scenery is beautiful
  10. I think the solution is the same as it always has been - Vote with your feet - Works for me!🫡
  11. Both Churchill and LV refused to re-insure my Lexus this year, after many years no-claims.
  12. Actually visited the town. Not a lot to see, all rebuilt. Could not find a parking spot anywhere!
  13. Slight logistic problem with the ticket to Mars. I don't think £70K would cover it. Maybe £70M? Anyway, there's nowt to do on Mars...or is there? I heard this morning that the house of Lords have passed the bill to send illegal immigrants to Mars and that trips start in about 12 weeks? Time to start packing methinks.
  14. Yes it certainly is Franco. I should imagine that bottle would cause a lot of upset in some places🤐
  15. Thanks SB Appreciate your kindness. I agree anyone can do what they like with their hard earned money. It's just that different people have different priorities and that's fine. It's a free world -- Hang on... or is it☺️. Anyway best wishes to everyone no matter what your car preference is. It would be interesting to see what other people would spend £70K on - put it in the bank? World cruise? Second hand Morgan and a cheaper runabout. If only......
