Who wants a FREE CAR...No Catch...

[chris.mapey]

I am giving away

ie NO COST...

1988 E reg Vauxhall Astra (or is it Ars*tra) Merit 1.3 5 door, 4 speed gearbox.

MOT to 17th June 2003

Car is in Ipswich, it runs & drives, no tax, but then no cost.

The car is a trade in from where I work, and no one wants it.

Ideal for thrashing around a field or autotest or PCT.

Post on here or email me

Chris

Anyone here?

[MikeyT]

Chris, if it's a trade -in what did you give them for it? Nothing?

If you pay the petrol, I'll collect ...

Replacing the Griff with something more practical, Johno?

[johno]

Yes ...

Probably run for longer and cost less !!

Bar humbug ... F**king TVR's .... Gearboc B*ll*x etc etc etc

Need a commuter vehicle for a couple of months until I put cash together for a half decent diesel thingy ... tractor kinda thing ...

[CarZee]

Ah.. didn't realise it might be true

Sorry to hear this, mate.

[johno]

Fraid so .... Bits arrived from the factory yesterday and confirmed that the bits that came out were not the shape they should have been.

Gearbox goes back together today etc etc and maybe I see the car next week ... all being well. It will then typically last 48hrs and then need to be returned to the dealer for some more work.

Bitter twisted and not very happy ??? You guessed it. Sell it and buy a porker ??? Are you mad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just with all this nice weather, first race meet of the year at Silverstone on Sunday and a whole heap of other reason for blarring around and I'm having to use a 1 litre Clio !!

Did get 115 out of it on the M25 on Tuesday though

Right I'm going to catch my train home. Speak soon ...

Sorry to hear of your woes with the Griff. It looked the dogs danglies when I saw it at VW, always the car I promised myself after the S.

When its back on the road the suns out and roofs down you wont remember the bad times you will spemd days getting rid of the grin.

Happy motoring

Bah, Humbug, looks like Im too late....

The Volvo died yesterday in a large cloud of smoke, so Im frantically looking for something to replace it with.

If anyone else is disposing of something with an MOT please let me know

Suffolk Punch petrol lawn mower, runs well, needs service £45ono.
1980 Swift Corniche caravan £625ono, too big for the Lawn Mower to tow unfortunately.
Buyer collects from Newcastle....

I dunno where the hell Ipswich is , but you can't complain about a free car. I know lots of people (OK, one or two pikeys) who would kill for a free runabout.

The £1000 trade in, isn't a true reflection of the car's worth anyway, but I think chris is being v generous to offer it the PH throng.

Cheers Chris!
