Love it. Just get an FM transmitter and use Radioplayer on your phone for the stereo if it hasn't got bluetooth. If it has, skip the FM transmitter!

On a slightly OT note, how did you create the logo splash on the start of the video? I need to do something similar...
Someone on Fiverr did it!

There was an FM transmitter in the car when I collected it - it’s the kind that plugs into a 3.5mm headphone jack though, not much use with an iJesus! hehe

I know, I’m sorry. I even have the audacity to call myself an IT professional.

rofl

I have been tempted by including a Panda and talking a bit about the previous hell but I’m not sure my mental health is prepared.

I did have a ropey as fk 100HP for a bit mind, so I have done it twice.

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.... biggrin 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!
You'll have completed your challenge by Feb at this rate! Good luck! (subscribed on youtube too)

Great thread, bookmarked. Will sub the Youtube channel too, in the hope of seeing the local sights - another Gloucester boy here.

I have no talent for mechanics at all, but happy to help out if you need a hand or a lift or some such.

What’s a roffle car?
A roffle is like a raffle but on a "brown" forum - obviously I can't post a link because that would be diverting traffic away from PH but if you google "Roffle Citroen Visa" then it should be the first post returned

Car Priced at lets say £295 - Based on a bonus ball result a roffle would be £5 a ticket

When all tickets are sold the next lottery draw that takes place - Bonus ball number determines the winning number

Added excitement when forum members by tickets for other forum members who don't want it biggrin

Cheap entertainment if you are really unlucky you win the car..............
So you could win a st car for the cost of a raffle ticket?

Genius!

rofl

Are you expected to roffle it on again, use it, sell it or burn it after you win said turd?

I agree, I'm not sure posting about it on here is a good idea to be honest...

I won a couple of cars last year, one of them was a Toyota Yaris T-sport I won for £20 and swapped for a classic saab 900 which I sold a while later for £1800.
I won another car for £13, a Mini Cooper S which had most of the interior stripped out by a previous owner. I used it for a couple of weeks then swapped it for a Peugeot 205 auto which I then swapped for a 205 turbo diesel.
A roffle car is yours to do as you please.

Not really sure how to answer that question

All or any of those options or I know this might seem a bit weird but you could even drive it like cars are supposed to be used?
True. I made the assumption that somebody entering a raffle for a car didn’t need it as the primary mode of transport!

I need to fix the bloody thing before I think about disposing of it! Think I’m moving in the right direction with it though.

Have acquired a suitable ELM327 adaptor so I can use Forscan

Just out of interest op. Where will you be mainly looking for the cars and how adventurous will you be with them? For example there are some great looking motors on facebook marketplace owned by what I can only assume are very questionable characters. Risk and reward I suppose but I spend most of my evening now drooling over moderately interesting cars for £400 being sold by people who can barely take a picture or write

I’m not going to be sourcing very many from that particular channel - I cannot stand buying £100 scrappers for £400 from idiots who can’t even be arsed chucking a bucket of water over whatever they bought yesterday and “just got da green slip m8” for.

I appreciate there are a few of them and I certainly wouldn't buy a car from someone who had owned it for two minutes but I think their may be a couple dirty diamonds lurking in there. Forums are always a good shout as well
