Mine's about to become my daily snotter....again:

That is absolutely magnificent. It's like it's just been pulled out of a swamp. If I opened the door to that, I'd fully expect a rotting corpse to fall out of it. clap
Phenomenal work sir, a grand snotter. thumbup

Just picked up a new snotter, an 03 Yaris 1.3 Auto.
Same fastidious owner since 2006 and only 34k miles.
Clearly been pampered and has receipts for everything except petrol for the last 8 years!
Even have a receipt for a tyre from 5 years ago.
Drives perfectly and not a mark on it.
£2k seems a bit of a steal really.

Seems a little steep for a 10 year old shopping trolley. Enjoy it though!

I really hope I'm rich enough not to have to drive such a piece of dog st in my retirement.

Behold, £100 worth of French, high precision motoring. It's showing 229k and the engine at least is a cracker, always does 48mpg, the rest of the car feels a bit more shagged. Currently stands me about £260 including an MOT. It's even got half (p)leather and erm, that's about it.
Had a brand new one of these back in '97 (ish) and, for all it was smaller than my preference with regards to cars, I loved it.

The interior was ergonomically great and the passive rear steering introduced a whole new dimension to cornering.

Surprisingly capacious as a load lugger too.

Winter Snitter has been an actually rather lovely Alfa Gtv fir the last few years.

Colleague was selling his elderly Mother's Rover 216 Auto 1997 saloon so thought I'd have a crack at iit and stop playing alfa roulette while I'm winning.

Full mot,50k from new,1 owner, enough scrapes to make me not give a st and a rusty arch!

Put 5000 mikes on it since December n it's been great, sometimes it makes funny noises, then a bit falls off underneath n it's fine again, it's awesome!

Honda engine should be bombproof, never gonna wash it or spend a penny on it and will 1p start it on ebay if it fails the next mot, true snottering!

Gee, this place just gets friendlier doesn't it! hehe
It's a snotter to sit in traffic, not for weekend hoons down the Mulsanne Straight.

Well, if 2k can be thought of as snotter money, welcome to my £1400 snotter!

2001 330D, manual.Have done a few jobs on the old girl.Still offers up 44 mpg if you spank it and over 50 mpg on a motorway run.
Rarely so much as a puff of smoke out of it, either! Is sat on approx 156k miles now and after singing its praises, the turbo will no doubt explode shortly..



I am waiting on a leased Audi A1 Sport, sportback thingy (1.6 Tdi) for the other half to use and for some 'new' motoring when required, but I can't see me dragging myself away from this BMW any time soon.I even upgraded the stereo, so it has to stay for a while now.

My SAAB 9-5 2.0 Se Turbo bought for just shy of £500. Has 138,000 miles and 9 months MOT with no advisories. Just had new brakes and front tyres before I purchased. Could do with a good clean, but bverything works, bar the SID and one of the electric mirrors. Very smooth and quiet and I can confirm that SAAB seats are amazing.biggrin

Bought two months ago. I previously owned this.

Sitting on 247k, full buffalo leather, double sunroof which works and FSH. Drives fine, went through the mot last week albeit with 12 advisories!

Cost me two years road tax seven years ago, sold it for three years road tax, bought back for less than one years.

I like that. Good work sir smile

My 1999 GMC Snoter, value now about a 1k GBP did pay more but it was back in 2007.... This is considered a family car here in Alberta, 4 seats and 4wd for a Snowy winters...



Just perfect for picking up some 14ft long 2x6's.....



Could never do that with my old 405 TD Estate...

But you can bring home your kit car chassis though...



If you spot closely ....yes we did put a rope though the sunroof and the rear door, and yes we where all laughing like idiots when it started raining .... My dad held a good old AA Map over Warwick's head, as I couldn't drive seeing as I had a cast on my leg at the time.... at traffic lights it would rain on Warwick
at speed it got me in the back seat.... Ah good times...
