Pashley26 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 'if it doesn't make £4000 on ebay i'll keep it' 'sold for £3500' You what? Things change quite quickly when you're looking at buying houses. Over the last week I've wanted absolutely nothing more than to buy a house, it's been all consuming. Taking £500 less to get the money in my bank? No brainer for me. I'll save £500 by selling it now and driving the Panda for two or three months.

AdamR28 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Oulton Park tomorrow With no roof or windscreen. Hmm. Looks like the motorbike onesie will be making an appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Exactly, the sooner it isn't on my drive the sooner I can't spend money on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a brave man, my roof hasn't been down for about 3 weeks, certainly wouldn't drive it with no screen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I've been out on track in the snow before...

Pashley26 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 So the S3 buyer has made contact, seems like a pretty reasonable bloke. Coming down from Hull next Wednesday afternoon. So I took the S to the Polish valeters. Dirty bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I haven't used "Shit me" in years, that was a perfect usage right there. I'm planning on going topless (Reyyyyy) in Bruges in a couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Went to fit my new glow plugs...I was supplied the wrong ones even though i'd supplied them with all my engine info. Whilst I was there I undid all of the old ones just to make sure they would be ok when replacement plugs come, thankfully they all came undone fine. I have a broken passenger fog, not really looking to buy another as it's not like they are actually that useful and i'm trying to keep spending on this car to a minimum but I wanted it tidy+the remaining glass was falling out and I had some yellow tint knocking about. Not really the look I was aiming for but at least it's weather proof and tidy now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I'll do my best not to find the armco again... cheers! I was chatting to Dave about suspension and he mentioned you thought you'd found a setup issue that might have made life a bit harder for you with that - hopefully with that removed it'll be plain sailing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) So the guy who viewed my S3 on Tuesday didn't bid on it because his wife went into labour on Wednesday in the early hours of the morning. He's offered me £4000. He's picking it up tomorrow night and the winner on eBay can do one, because he wants me to keep it for him to "view it", but you bid to buy not to view.

Jake. Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Got a little problem with the ibiza, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions? Basically fuel economy has gone down quite a bit. When I drive to work I used to get 65-70mpg. Now I'm struggling to get over 50 I realise a lot of you will be thinking wish my car did 55! Car has been decat which I suppose could affect it bit but I'm pretty sure Dan yours was decat and you used to get insane mpg. Thanks Old post I know but I drive a 1.9tdi ibiza and mpg has dropped about 10mpg too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
