OK.....

roll, roll, roll the boat..... gently round to Marks
merily, merily, merily, merily
Laidback gets a face full of petrol.

Oh did we laugh! To see this red eyed monster screaming in utter agony - oh stop it, my sides are alreay hurting from last weeks surgery.....

And then, as if that wasn't enough fun...... I had to witness Marks hop-a-long impersonation. With Daves petrol eyes, Marks gammy leg and my knackered back we made a right sorry site....

Talking of which, TheBoy's MV6 was there as well.

So, is it good to have so many people wishing me well? OF COURSE it is. Thanks very much to all who have sent kind words, and some not-so-kind ones.

Matchless- I'll tell your Mrs about Andrea if you don't behave.

AND.... yes. I am looking for a suitable project just to keep me busy. Seen a few, but nothing challenging enough yet.

how about going out and finding a deer..... and hitting it with an Omega at 70.....  


then we can all have BBQ venison burgers while watching McBurger magic return the meega to pristine, or at least working, condition....  all for 50p and a bag of jelly babies.



I have an f'ing HUGE Gas BBQ to use for that project :D

(that obviously was the mistake I made last year......   Not getting the BBQ ready in time....  or Calling McB instead of Direct Line.......   )


alternatively there's my Elite, In need of Cam belt, water pump, New primary cooling fan, possible oil cooler, and air con condenser....  and gawd knows what else........

should keep you ALL busy for 5 minutes while I make a brew ......

I think you will find, dear sir, that the precise words were ' Up yours petrol head'. ;D

No, seriously, I am looking for something with a challenge. An autobox change is possible, but I fancy something else. Like a top end rebuild, or another crashed one or something to get my teeth into.

Incidentally...... found this 'interesting' MV6 on ebay. I am not interested in it, but can anyone spot what is wrong?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230088410428&sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:UK:1

OK, ended now anyway. here is what I found interesting....
2.5 MV6?
Tourer Wheels
Tourer Spoiler

Guy confirmed to me that log book sasy MV6. Were they not all 3.0s?

Imo I would say its a Tourer a mate of mine had a gold one and looked just the same, dont know where the mv6 came from perhaps he copied someones elses listing or added it to make it more appealing.

Yes. He has now relisted this....

I contacted him on day one. Here was my question:

hi. What makes you think this is an MV6? It has Tourer wheels and only a 2.5 engine. The MV6 always has a 3.0 or 3.2. Just mentioning it because you may not be aware. Lastly, MV6 wasn't made in 1996. Hope you don't mind, but I think someone may have mislead you at some point.

his reply:
Log book and data from ebay say it's MV6.

My response:
I would contact DVLA mate. Someone has sold you a lemon or the log book is not for that car. THAT is a Tourer, not an MV6. Trust me on this. I have a small amount of knowledge on these cars and have had 1 or 15 in the last year. Hope you don't mind me telling you, but you could end up with a problem is someone else finds out after they bought it. Good luck.
He has now ended and relisted, but what about that 'MV6' in the log book then?

Probably a listing error at registration. But also you can change the model description on the log book.

Oh and there was also a 2.6 MV6 (facelift) but there are very few of them about.
