Revolver Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) Haha, I knew you'd be able to tell me. It's always a shame to see a car that's been sat so long its tyres are flat. There used to be a yellow pontiac firebird sat outside a house further away. That's even more of a waste! Well that just goes to show how long this one has been sat eroding away.

Pashley26 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 I think you said about that one, didn't we try ad hunt it on street view? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 there haven't been any taxed since 2001.First link on Google: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C174238"Taxed until 03/11, MOT to16/08/2011".Sounds taxed? Anyway, very interesting looking things they are. Not sure if it's a good thing that you recognised it that quickly/easily though haha.

Pashley26 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) Weird it isn't on how many left.com f**k my life, iPads have properly shit corrective type.

I'll see if the Pontiac's on street view but it's a good few years it's been gone. And yes, the Pontiac is gone, it's replaced with a Honda Jazz.

Muel Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Weird it isn't on home many left.com Maybe it's an old listing? Might not be around any more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Dunno, potentially they hadn't actually taxed it but were willing to tax it for the buyer? I've seen weirder things, but it is easier and more logical to just say that I and how many left are wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 http://goo.gl/maps/DQ5at There's the FD, it's been moved, all I remember is seeing it sat covered in tree goop in the same place for 5 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escort radiators are regularly used in kit cars so that was an easy spot, I can measure Ford PCD from a 1/4 mile away, and the Ford Girling calipers have a very distinctive single sliding calipers, the escort mk4 door handles are also very distinctive. So knew it had to be an Escort based kit car, and there is only one company made cars so shoddily that designing the entire car around the doors which is Quantum. And there we have it Edited June 9, 2013 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) As cheesy and gay as they all are, I quite like all the stupid late 80's imitation sports cars that the UK churned out. Can you imagine actually buying one new? Just seen this... I want that 323. Lol at your edit, grumpy f**ker. You missed a great SOS the other day, around 100 cars apparently, and a Limbo competition and loads of low riders. All the American boys from Cornwall came, and a load of stuff from Exeter. Was a really good meet apparently, I also couldn't be bothered and have seen nothing but pictures of how great it was since.

RobinJI Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Haha, I lost track of how many edits I did, I couldn't make up my mind as to how much of a twat I should be calling you out on things, I settled for being fairly nice in the end. Meh to SOS, I was at the beach, with beer and friends, much rather be there than in a car-park with cars and strangers. (hence the want for an estate at the moment, I'm trying to drag my life back to having more than cars in it.) Would have been cool if I hadn't been busy though.

forteh Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Would like advice from you car people regarding tyres 195/60/15 on a 1.8 tdci focus, need new front tyre pretty sharpish, not too bothered about being grippy because that's not the driving I do, would like pretty quiet road noise and good life whilst being cheap. A local tyre place will typically get specific tyres in but I don't know if I would be better buying loose and getting them fitted. I've always gone with budgets from the local place at about 50 quid a quarter fitted. Looking to spend as little as possible really, preferably 30-50 per tyre - recommend me please!

forteh Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 No recommendations on tyre wear though, I don't want to be chucking money at tyres that are going to be worn out in 10k when I don't need that sort of performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Top marks for getting on with it. How much did you want for that V3? I doubt I will buy it, but just so I can offer it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_seamons Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Got a buyer for it already dude, but thanks. He's paying £200 for it. Stripping an engine bare is SO therapeutic! Really really enjoyed it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
