Sadly, I'm away with the missus for a dirty weekend, so I'll miss out on the usual festivities. Sorry. I'll do my level best to make the next one though.

I'd have struggled if you made it week later too, (or DD if it ever happens again,) due to this:

Shameless plug

Dude - take the car!

You've broken this happy-go-lucky thread.

You've made the baby Jesus cry

I'm still st out of luck on this game, just trolleys and sheds

I don't think 'excuses' was offered as an option within the rules

Friday again. Time to get some wheels ready for Monday morning and enjoy the monies saved from the £1000 budget on weekend shenanigans.

Last week I picked something from the very bottom of the price range; I'll stop a little higher this week and spend £795 on this rather smart 9-3 2.0t. Has to be phenomenal value, right?

A 2.5 V6 with full leather interior, cruise control and a 6 disc CD changer all for £500. It hasn't even got monster miles on it.

Does the door flop open like that as you're driving along?

Less than a 100k for £795.

Unfeasibly good value.

There wasnt anything that interesting this week near me. Same old Corsa & Matiz.

There's no wimping out. You've got to get to work on Monday and have got to settle on the best your locality has to offer according to the budget!

[V8mate]

It's Friday!

Right, we've got an extra day to find the car for our ficticious journey to work next Tuesday. And I think I've found my best one yet!

Just £475! Leaves me £525 to throw at coke and hookers over the Bank Holiday weekend

V8mate's selection said:

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS BEING SOLD AS A PROJECT,THE CAR HAS NO MOT, CURRENTLY SORN, AND WILL NEED TO BE TRANSPORTED AT COST TO PURCHASER

Not a contravention

Sleep clearly used the wrong source. I simply didn't read the ad which, and Olly cannot do anything but support the contention, actually awards me additional man-points. Real men, buying cheap cars (in fact, any cars), don't read the ad and don't inspect before handing over the readies.

And anyway, I've got an extra day this weekend to get it roadworthy

[V8mate]

It's getting a bit chilly, so it must be time for a 4x4!

£675 of grippy goodness.

I know you're only supposed to pick one, but my selection has gone up to 66 and I can't decide whether to throw the entire budget at this...





or, save £300 for the weekend's coke and hookers bill and pootle to work in this next week, for £700...
