Bit of a weird day today. We sold our 2006 Renault master van. We bought it in the 2nd January 2006. Sold today so we've had it almost 7 and 1/2 years. I was asking my parents and its the longest they've ever kept any vehicle. Sold in 12 hours in the end. New Owner is collecting it in the morning. It was used for construction has almost 200k km on it. But my dad is no longer in the construction industry he retrained and only needs a car now.
It's funny because people call renaults balls of dirt unreliable. That van was 100% reliable never broke never cost a penny to repair as nothing ever went wrong with it. The van was parked up for the last 7 months. And yesturday we finally decided to sell it. We doed it today passed first time and it was off the road for 7 months :eek: Obviously it sold for buttons vans are worthless nowadays. But tbh that van owed us nothing. So many memories tied up in it. The amount of trips me and my dad went on in it. I have to say ill be very sad to see it being driven away tomorrow never to come back I think we all will
But at the same point there was no point in leaving it behind our house to deteriorate. Hopefully the new owner will mind it as well as we did it deserves that. Anyway people on here probably think im mad. By the looks of things it will be replaced by something abit quicker 
ill explain more in the next few weeks I want to wait until we actually have. 0 -

Lucky you, no money here till I pick some coppers off the ground :pac:
Scraping the pennies for another hangover, were ya?
God help anyone around you this morning if it was a trying like last Saturday.
@Chris: It's gonna be worth it, just think of the snappy rear and and all the turbo goodness!
@166man: Yeah, I reckon revenue would rather chase him for tax instead of my 100 I'd quid. 0 -

Oh man, I woke up and was an absolute mess, drinking till about 5am and I can't remember most of it! Broke out a hot water bottle for the auld stomach and was grand by the late afternoon
No cheese crackers though :pac:
There's only pennies in the ashtray.... Need lots of pennies for a circlips pliers, yes I'm still waiting on them :eek: The old saying of what's the hold up, are they making them must apply.....0 -
Legend with the skyline. i don't doubt it will be worth every penny
taxed the glanza today, on the tax subject. 200 for 6 months, so looks like i might not change car this summer after all. also paid rent of 320, 100 in electricity, 50 in petrol, 75 on food and around 40 on printing. so hard to get, so easy to spend 0 -

I always think I'm alright when I first wake up, it's when I sit up for a sip of water and it hits me, uugh. Worst feeling ever.
I hate specific tools like those one!
Doing anything on a bike you run into that ****e all the time, I can't afford a new tool ever time I do a job. :mad:
Andy, a bit of tax will only make it easier to sell.

yeah, was considering an ae111... really really fancy the arse off one tbh, but i'm just so ****ing happy with the glanza.
this is how i felt when i had the vitz. spent a load on it, got it just how i wanted it and then sold it. its such a cliche on a car forum at this stage but its genuinely the only car i regret selling. wont be making the same mistake this time 0 -

Ooooh.... Temptation :pac:
I take it there's no room for both? If it were me I'd be inclined to do so....
Edit: what a strange looking Punto.... 0 -
ae111's are just brilliant cars imho, you should definitely look into one,if you move on the glanza, you'll miss the initial nippiness of the glanza, but once you get the 4age screaming up to 8k through 2nd and 3rd, you'll fall in love with them, excellent handling, but like any high powered 1.6 n/a, they've no torque, but you don't need it because they dont weigh anything
Also they were actually designed in a wind tunnel - now that couldnt be said for many 90's toyotas :pac:0 -

Was coming back from bray yesterday, traffic was ridiculously slow for ages, turned off across from the beehive to just avoid crawling in traffic and low and behold i spot a ferrarri 458 spider tearing up behind me It was stuck behind me on the windy road, so first straight i saw I indicated to encourage him to overtake me, and my god he did!!!!! The NOISE!!!!!! Dreaming about it all last night!!!!!!!

Well I'm a few weeks into 350z ownership and today was the first proper spin I've had in it.
Today I learned:
> the car will do 65mph in 2nd gear on the redline!
> at full throttle the air conditioning switches off to keep power delivery up.
It's a lot of fun all that torque 0 -
The drive looks so empty with no van . Now all that's left is the 2 octavia's and the focus. On another notes my parents and I went gardening today. I was given the job of digging up old plant roots and tree roots. I broke a spade a shovel 2 forks I don't think ill be let garden for another while . Suits me all the more time to spend thundering with the cars .
Also booked my car into the mechanics for next weekend so he'll check it over from head to toe and make a list of everything it needs. I know it needs a few things done such as tie rod ends. So it'll be great to get a definite list hopefully not too long. Although it has been running pretty well lately so hopefully it will stay like that.0 -
