Continuation from motors chat round 3

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

No she's not that bad! At the time it was a fiesta that I bought for her
Now only a jeep will do. (i'm buying that too, only indirectly;) )

I don't think I'd fit in one of those!

I had one, loads of room for 4 adults, I'm 5'10" and not exactly twiggy:P

Paid poxy fine for going through Amber/red light couple weeks ago now wait for points on license but first 2 in 11 years so not too bad and won't affect insurance.

I only have one

And after all me talking about travelling to galway and Roscommon for v6 alfas.... now you decide to sell one?

It ain't an auto :pac:

Toyotafanboi

a few in similar condition still asking 3k sort of ballpark. i reckon 2750 would be a fair price to get, 2500 if you wanted it gone quick!

be sure to let me know if you are selling!

I will:).
I think if I advertised it someone would put it in the dreamers thread though:pac:

I have been trying to gauge what it's worth but I'm finding it hard to value it...

Some are slower than others though!

I'm not sure what my plan is car wise. Part of me wants to change when I get a new NCT on my car (march) but I have only just about got my car the way I want and it would be a shame to get rid of it right away... And I don't know what I want in a new car (other than not white!) I'm looking at everything from Mini's to V6 166's at the moment

That's a pity because I like the later cars more mostly because a much bigger percentage of them have the 1275. I think the smaller engined ones might just be a bit slow for me... Could be wrong though.

They're all slow, it's how they handle that's important

I can't agree more with this point.

If you're serious join an Irish mini club and they'll help you out but be aware they rust like hell and if they've had a dodgy paint job it's probably hiding problems. If you can weld great, if you can't prepare to pay a welder. Lots of overpriced rubbish out there, and as a general rule the later the registration the poorer the rust protection applied. 90's cars are the worst.

I'd have both of them onto a ramp first though. Divils for the rust! Are you going to go for it?

I know where he works but thought if he was near the car he might look it over.

Cheers though, I've already had a PM and have a means of communication

Your choices are (pick 2) :

Toyota Levin

Lancia Delta 1.6 turbo

Suzuki Samurai

The black one is nicer turned out in the photos but I think I would prefer the red one. Better colour for a mini and I would love to own a low milage car

Hmm, must hunt one down and see

I have long legs and frequently find if I can't adjust the seat up and back, that my knees are hitting off the steering wheel.

Seriously?

Four people of six foot wouldn't fit in the gtv and it's bigger than the mini!

You sit very close to the ground in a Mini and have a very steeply angled seat base so your legs dont stretch out in front of you if that makes sense.

This kinda shows it
