Mr POD

I lived in Langley back in the 70's.

Where in cheshire ? ;D

You have to pay a fiver these days and it gets you all previous V5's

Thy assume you are a Pikey and have no insurance, which allows you to CUT them up.

I've just spent 4 days using a Pool Car from work. A citroen C5 estate TDi. I had occassion to drive to Buxton for a Machinery Risk Assessment Course, from North Merseyside, so I did about 200 miles of which 95 was motorway, 70 was A road, 10 was in towns and the rest various Country Lanes. What do you think the Fuel Consumption was ? Modern 1.9 Variable Nozzle Turbo technology ? 35 mpg !!! Now this morning I drove my normal route to work, 14 miles of B roads and country lanes. 25 MPG !!!! > :o :o Okay so I do insist on overtaking if safe and legal to do so, so I overtook 7 cars this morning, but I've not really been that agressive. ;D

The hood SHOULD be easy. When you are ready for that in about 2 years Mark Smelt (our convertible parts expert) will point you in the right direction. The Door ? You'll have to find a second hand one. Mark once bought a whole car for the rare door glass. I'm guessing that buying a spares car off ebay will make life easier.

Ignore the lack of MOT and look at the true condition, then haggle HARD.

I've not !!

I was in a traffic jam next to an immaculate Ascona B (Cav mk1 with different front) 4 door saloon, and thought how similar the mk2 cav and ascona C body shell is.

I'd not bother with the Tipex - just Cross it out and write your details in the margin.

Bourne End ? my uncle and aunt used to live in sugar lane. Big house called Four Winds on account of my uncle's bowel condition.

I went down my allotment on Saturday to collect a few broad beans and I had to wear wellies to wade to my rotting crops. Bloke with the allotment next to mine was in tears (apparently it takes 3 years to grow asparagras) I was wondering how them in the south west midlands were doing.

Cool. Where are you based ?

Which is the better car ? V6 or Gsi vectra ? It's clear to me that your wife thinks that you don't need 3 cars, and has identified that the V6 is the one that must go. She does not want to be driving the Classic 130 with no PAS every day so she'll HAVE to use the Gsi. Seems your wife is more sensible than you think.

what happened vto the 1.8e 8V ? Would make your mk2 a BEAST !!!
