Title: Well peeps, she's gone.....
Post by: Tezray on 16 October 2006, 20:09:18
Yes i'm afraid to say the MV6 has left my ownership  :'(

I sold her today for £900, which sounds like tuppence but in reality i think i did fairly well. If i had put her on fleebay i imagine i would have only got about £600-£700 for her....

So on to pastures new for me, but i'll still be around and try to help people out when they've got problems  :)

Day off work for me tomorrow and a day of car shopping! Should be interesting  :-/

PS, the bloody EM light flickered on a couple of times today and that was a contributing factor in making me decide i've had enough of fixing her!  ;D

Yes i passed on the website  :y lol

The thing i thought was funny was the guy he bought along to 'examine' the omega was a mechanic (wearing his overalls!) and thought he knew his stuff.....He didn't even look at the bloody oil!!! He was too busy testing the windscreen wipers and lights!  ;D He obviously knew franky break all lol

No the mr2 didn't happen, the last i heard was that it was getting hotter than it should and the guy 'didn't want to sell me a shitter' so it didn't happen. Shame really because it did look nice.

I'm looking at a bug eye shape Celica GT tomorrow, sounds quite good and he's only asking £1300. It has done 130K but it's just had a new clutch, not sure if the head gaskets ever been done though, i'll have to ask.

Thought it'd be good to stick around, share my wealth of knowledge  ;D Who knows anyway, i might end up with another one of the bloody things somewhere down the line!

And there was me thinking that theere are just 3 places in Southmead - the hospital. the police station and the fire station.  Everybody else seems to live in Westbury on Trym, Brentry and anywere but. 8-)

Hello,

Technically, I spose you could say I live in Brentry, Southmead seems to be one of those boroughs that has diluted into Brenty and Westbury on Trym, at least I don't live in either Hartcliffe (locally pronounced by the locals as 'artcluffe') or Knowle West (locally pronounced by the locals as Knowle West init me babber, etc etc) :).

There was a time when we had quite a Bristol contingent, but now I think the centre of gravity is around Nottingham/Derby.

James and his shiney cars  :D And you jungle omega is looking even shinier lately with the help of those rust free doors  :)

HOWEVER, i think you'll find Knowle west is pronounced locally as, knowle west mmeeeeeeaaaaaeeeaaaeeeaeaaeeeattttt  ;)

Looking at an mr2 on friday, sounds like a winner. Only done 70K, T-bar, MOT'd until Aug 2007, dark blue, lady owner (young and attractive lesbian!!  :o) and only 3 previous.....All for the princeley sum of £1200  :)

I've looked at one mr2 and one celica so far, both not quite right and something seemed dodgy about both of them  :-?

Post by: The Barge Captain on 19 October 2006, 14:26:35
Actually I live in the valley the other side of Dundry and sometimes at night i look up at the top of the hill expecting to see the 'Cliffers rampaging over the top loike some thing out of of a Gengis Khan film.
(followed by the 'Westers who have come to loot pillage and generally have their wicked way with the anything the 'Cliffers have left behind)

ROFL!!!!!

I sometimes go that way, up and over and down to Chew Magna, when visiting my Parents in Glastonbury. Nice little drive out.
