Hello Mods.
Any chance of a 'Bangernomics' section in other marques? The thread I started in GG seemed to attract a lot of interest and it could be a nice alternative section for those amongst us who's daily driver is an older car. Could also be used a combined forum for DIY fixing/advice etc.
How about it?
Many thanks

Found this thread via a Google search (don't trust the hamsters...!) as I was thinking exactly the same thing.
This method of running a car is great and it seems more people are picking up on it. Help, tips and advice are especially useful for this kind of thing so it would be great to have a new section dediated to running older cheapo motors.
What says PH?

But this is PH, not MindlessDroneDoWhatTheGovtWants-Heads.
Here we are interested in cars and motoring and can actually see the benefits of keeping old(er) cars running - saving money and the planet (yeah) in the process.
I reckon it's got legs but maybe just a single thread in GG would do the job, kinda like the Bargain Barge thread and the ///M Power Bargains thread?

We could pop my 'Local Bargain Game' thread into it too

i lost the driver's side lock on the banger at the weekend. its been iffy since i bought it [prev. owener sold it as someone tried to jimmy the lock off] but have never bothered fixing it. the barrel must've severed the linkage as it was spinning around on saturday and i lost the barrel on a trip to B&Q on sunday.
i'm not fixing it, unlocking my door via the passenger's side is just another 'quirk' to put up with!
i do need something to fill the hole though, a scrunched up piece of tinfoil isn't going to cut it!
one upside is that i stupidly locked the door without taking the keys out of the ingnition. the spoon from my lunch and 20secs later and i had the door open again! this is still a positive thing in my eyes.

Yeah, but we live in a PH World right now where they are desperate to add more and more sections.We can't even let the current layout issue die before we have mods jumping on this, expressing their support for yet more sections. Sorry Kinky.
