Here he is!




###Geoffreys Story###

I adopted Geoffrey on 08/08/08 for just £700 but he was a little bit poorly. He had a seriously corroded oil cooler which was putting about a litre of oil into the coolant system every time i started him up. Unfortunately I was a bad owner and I drove him until he blew a pipe off the radiator. He then had to have his life saved and had several transplants, including a new radiator, thermostat, HBV and oil cooler. Since these transplants he has made an excellent recovery and passed his MOT on the first try. He has however lost his left headlight washer, and he needs a new differential at some point as he is whining constantly. All in all I love my Geoffrey and I'm going to keep him for years to come and take good care of him, starting with a good wash this weekend. (And an LSD when I can find one!)

He is looking pretty good for all his problems .... but what on earth possessed you to call him Geoffrey !!  

[djdaveyp85]

He just looks like a geoffrey!

you know some idiot as some time decided that all cars ahould be female, hence the sayings "she's a bute" and "she wouldnt start this bloody morning"

So maybe geoffrey-etta should be the new name  

[HolyCount]

Must admit I had a Morris called Victor at one time --- but his call sign was Victor Hotel .... that's my excuse !!!

I always name my cars with the first name that comes into my head when i see them. Hence the mrs's micra is called Bubbles, My old vectra is called Clifton and my astra was called shiela! Call me crazy but cars are people too hehe!

Quite funny in my MOT test the guy was stood in front of the missing headlight washer and he just asked me to put my lights on and he said "ok window washers" and i didn't turn the lights off and whoosh, straight in his face. Whoops! Luckily he laughed after going "****ing hell!" and still passed it!

Does Geoffrey take one up the tailpipe.... :-?

Nice looking car but i think it looks more like an Arthur or maybe a Reginald.

Geofferey is ok as long as he does BUNGLE anything else or start having a ZIPPY fit and he can get passed the RAINBOW.

Up above the sky so brightly, Rainbow shining b r i g h t............

lmmfao!!!! i found it piss funny lol! i really did!
it's upto the owner if they think their car should have a name and what the name should be.. personally he sounds like a bit of a clumbsy old softy!

i had a facelift that looked exactly like this one but 51 plate! was a lovely car
