A Very Sad Day at STR8SIX

[gruffalo]

The Pope Mobile is dead, piston through the block.

I understand that the search may well be on for similar or worse cars to replace the current Perodua range that is on offer.

[rico23]

Sad news indeed. It was always so stable on the M40

Its going to take something special to beat that car.

Perhaps Jason can shoehorn something in with 6 cylinders
Mr Lockpick will be gutted

On the bright side one of the other Perodua's can now have a radio/cd unit so we can listen to tunes whilst bombing about.

I had the pleasure of the Pope Mobile less than two weeks ago. I even treated it to some of the finest Mobile One 10W40 oil.

RIP

I was looking forward to my popemobile initiantion a few weeks ago, only to get to str8six to be told there were no popemobiles available,

ended up going back to the isle of wight in a left hand drive merc, it even came with an old spare change of clothing in the boot

go to hand it to `em, they think of everything!

That's what did her in then. 10/40 was too thin for the poor girl! I will miss her too. Fond memeories of overtaking much more powerful cars on the way back from a day in Oxford. Managed 86mph!!! It was downhill with the wind behind us mind! Slipstreaming a motorbike helped too You should've seen the face on the kid doing the valet parking at the Compleat Angler in Marlow when I threw him the keys... Quality!

They could be one or more of these.

[gruffalo]

Does this help?

I gave her a set of wiper blades.....The squeal from the originals nearly had me into the local "Priory" ;-).

...wonder what I'll get next month then?

[mr lock pick]

I am F-----g Gutted!

I loved that car.

[keith24]

That car was brilliant.

The looks, the performance, the handling, the radio, but best of all the speedo. No idea what velocity I was going but could be sure wasnt breaking the limit by too much!

good, I could tell you a few tales about that thing!

[gruffalo]

Well, if you look at the photo's I posted earlier in this thread, Jason has only gone and got one as a loan car, has any one yet guessed what they are?

Merc stories, is it OK to speak ill of the dead if it is a car, I think so so spill the beans:-)
