Found this on autotrader yesterday, and then came across your thread OP.

This looks a tad suspect as it needs work and MOT runs out this month but does seem cheap.

Have you bought it yet?

Oooooooof. Harsh, but fair. Next I will be starting threads moaning on about Muslims and benefit claimants while boasting about all my successful tax dodges and owning my Panamera through an Isle of Man company controlled by my 23 year old third wife who is called Svetlana.

PS: In reality the car is a 320D, on HP up the wazzoo, obvs.

Thanks for headlamps tips, Nippon Nerdz!

Just because I'm a nosy git, did you keep your Country Pile back here in Blighty? Or is it a case of Lock, stock and barrel move out there?

It is still there, inhabited by my 947 year old but still sprightly Mum, and my hippy punkabilly metaaaaaaal slacker brother, plus his very stinky cat, and sometimes my bro's dodgy girlfriend (to be fair, the first girlfriend that my bro has had in ages that does not have even more tats than he has, and according to my Mum the GF is quite nice really).

My bro is a mahooosive pain in the butt, but also a very cool dude, and I love him dearly. He is now my Mum's carer, and that takes a load off my mind and my wallet. Also, he looks after my shed full of shonky sheds.

Third puncture in a year - the roads here are just rubbish. Massive chasms everywhere, sharp edges, jaggedy bits. Now only one out of the original four Yokohama Icemasters left, and three Wan Hang Lo Ditchmaster Supersports instead. Bah, Humbug.

[anonymous-user]

Drives fine, however. Italian tune-up on way to airport helps a bit. I might be heading Blightywards next year, so I must try to drive car to its death ASAP.

The Mafia are not here, they are in Moscow. The companies are here.

[anonymous-user]

Bland looks.


Here, the heap has its third puncture in a year thanks to the utterly st state of the roads. 150 dollars fitted for a cheapo tyre.

Just seen a white one with levva, badged 370 GT, no dents. Maybe will try to steal it.

[anonymous-user]

The one that I saw was near the place where I work at the moment, which is zillions of miles from Oxford.

I shall soon need a daily driver in the UK, and I did consider that blue Skyline Coupe posted above, which would at least be rare, but I think that the looks are just too dull, and besides it's in Romford, FFS. I am pondering spaffing approx £5000-ish on an early to mid noughties Jaguar XK8 instead. WCPGW.right?

As from April will be doing part of my time in London and part of my time in Jersey, so I will need a UK motaaaaah, mainly for going to see my daughter in Norfolk and my old mum in Oxfordshire. I may use my Toyota MR2 Mk1, which has a thread of its own, but it needs new rear arches soon. I am going to sell my Lotus and my motorbike, and fix up my Lancia, and keep my Landy at my mum's house in Oxfordshire or my ex wife's place in Norfolk (both counties being very old Landy-friendly).

My hippy punkabilly slacker metaaaaaaal brother can have my Sherpa campervan, so long as I can borrow it to take my daughter to music festivals. He already has my UMM.

Kawaii style link for anyone interested in yet more Jap-o-heapz.

I will be heading through Gatwick in a week or so. This is near Gatwick. I am just saying.

I think so, and as I am now mucho middle aged, a grand turismo Jag is kind of my jam. I had a late model XJS that was mega rusty but also fab.

[anonymous-user]

Emailed the seller of that Jag. Waiting to hear back.

[anonymous-user]

No reply to email from Jag bloke. Hey ho, will get another one.

Just back from a quick ski blat in Chamonix. I rented a Ford POS for cheapo Eurobucks, but at Geneva Airport that pleasant Mr Hertz said that for the same money I could have an Alfa Romeo Stelvio, the one with the turbocharged two litre petrol engine. This modern car guff could be catching, as the Stelvio was a right lovely motor inside and out, and a blast to drive. Definitely on the S side of SUV.

[anonymous-user]

,,,, but then, I see that for the price of a second hand Stelvio I could get something very old and very lovely.

I am keeping schtum for now, but ...watch this space.

Back on the Nissan, it must be sold by 31 March 2020, so I will try to get the door damage fixed (prob 1500 USD ish), and see if I can get 5000 USD for it.
