A car a month for 2020. Idiocy but you love it.
Discussion
I have a George wet vac that could probably sort the seats out but it’s unlikely to get it. I’ll be selling this on cheap as-is, as fixed as it’ll get, rather than full retail prep.
Not going to be doing much beyond very basic washes unless something really needs polishing/is exceptionally dirty and it’d make a good video or whatever.
I’m sure I could hang onto this Focus a little bit longer, fit a set of better condition alloys etc and sell it for good money but that all takes time and space!
Feb’s car is agreed already

for having a vacuum cleaner with a name

This is an interesting/useful document for anyone chasing EHPS issues like this. - the Focus uses a very similar TRW steering system.

Having just bought a £500 car this is relevant to my interests!
That Mini looks like an absolute gem for the money - I know if I tried to find one in budget it’d be many times worse! 
You'd have thought at 41 I'd have grown out of enjoying cheap old cars, but no. I've done 200 miles in it already while my MX5 and 2014 Mini Clubman haven't had a look in this week!

The photos flatter it more than somewhat, every panel has some sort of defect. It's a good base car for some cheap thrills though.

Yeah tell me about it, I was getting a ribbing from my OH for taking the £174 wonder to work on Monday whilst my 2018 320d which I bought specifically for commuting sat unused You'd have thought at 41 I'd have grown out of enjoying cheap old cars, but no.

Hmmm wasn’t that a “roffle” car recently?
I still keep an eye on the brown forum but haven’t logged in for ages - my last posts resulted in winning a Rover 75 in a “roffle” so thought it better not to have that level of temptation
It was.... I bought three tickets for £15, didn’t win, and gave the winner scrap for it (£159)I still keep an eye on the brown forum but haven’t logged in for ages - my last posts resulted in winning a Rover 75 in a “roffle” so thought it better not to have that level of temptation
PS: genius idea, btw.

Love this, are you having a rule that Jan's car needs to be sold before Feb's arrival?
Or is there a chance (probably a good one) that you'll have 12 cars by Christmas 2020? (I'm sure we could create a seasonal song for that)
There’s a chance of the latter for sure.... Or is there a chance (probably a good one) that you'll have 12 cars by Christmas 2020? (I'm sure we could create a seasonal song for that)
Feb’s car is secured already I just haven’t collected it yet. Can’t see this Focus sticking around especially if I manage to repair the steering fault though!Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
