Mind you that's all I want to do, in 2 weeks, would take me 2 years to scrub the tyres to the same effect  ;D
That reminds me, tell me the last set of wheels/tyres I borrowed from you, I did give them back? There weren't in my garage, were they? If so, they ain't covered by the insurance  :-[

Currently in my parents back garden, weighing down some anti-weed layers of fabric  :y

Thank god for that. So apart from my own gear I've lost, I reckon its just some bits from TheDaddy and H21's polys that I need to stump up for :)

Given the Cripple's recovery times from being uncrippled, and their expectant new arrival, I'd hope your new purchase will be completed long before these get nearer to us :). I assumed there was no hurry :)

take it off the road, strip it,rebuild it with new or almost perfect used parts, have it painted,ergo new car with known history,while doing this pick up a lowish mileage rover 25, for tootling around in!! :y problem sorted ;D
Desperately need 2 cars currently, so thats not a viable option currently

Want a 3.2 loaner for a week or two? Buy all bits to fix bullet up, lay it up in parents garage for week or so and strip/re-build?

List is not actually that long?

Have you seen the way he drives! :o

Yup  :o

That said, without getting all mushy, little fatty has helped me out a fair few times fixing my trusty steed, along with other Omega's in the T house-hold, so even knowing how he drives, willing to lend 3.2 for week or two.

Mind you that's all I want to do, in 2 weeks, would take me 2 years to scrub the tyres to the same effect  ;D

That's what I was thinking about - the tyres ;D

That's his problem, he can put fuel in it. Either way I doubt it will have anything in it when/if he takes it, petrol is feking expensive  :o  ;D

You're not trying hard enough. The bullet, earlier today, was reading 14.4g/hr. So I make that about an hour and a bit per tank....
