My cars have always had names...usually the number plate gives me the name...or something in the car's character, or colour.

My only talent is my IQ of 152 Pah.... only 152? 160, as measured on the Wexler Adult Intelligence Scale. I'm also quite good at building plastic models... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v40/Philgolding/SAS_1.jpg 1/35th 2nd SAS with Jeep. Europe, 1944. All the best, Phil (now Roverless)

I was thinking about it..but the more i poked around, the worse the dreaded 'tin worm' was.

Both sills, both rear quarter panels, under the hood, one of the chassis rails.

Maybe I'll get a coupe.

Had to send 'katie off to 'The great Rover Dealership in the Sky' today

As the guy drove her off....the engine expired in a great cloud of smoke...!

Maybe it was meant to be....

Bye-Bye, Katie...I'll miss you.

I've been smoking since my dad died, when I was 13 (I'm now 50).

Usually roll my own. Have got a selection of pipes I puff on now and again, when the mood takes me.

Cheers,

Thanks for all the comments guys. I went to see the guy today...he was really nice and understanding...and very apologetic. I will look for a bonnet, and charge him appropriately, which he is happy with...he has offered to get a friend of his to look at the damage, and fix it, if i can't find a bonn...

Grabbed a Veyron, and did the old Le Mans circuit, with full Mulsanne straight, just for fun.....246 mph, but it handles like a greased pig on an Ice rink

hi guys. Sorry I haven't replied to anyone lately, but my PC died, and has taken months to fix and reboot etc. If anyone's still interested, and I apologise if it seems I've been messing people about... £350 no offers!!

Back to the top, for the last time.

Will consider a swap, for a moped or scooter, up to 125cc.

Possibly something diesel.

All the best,

Hi...

As you may know, my Bank Holiday weekend has been rather fraught... This was my driveway over the weekend... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v40/Philgolding/Fix_2.jpg And this was why...I'm pretty sure my fuel pump and in-tank filter shouldn't look like this... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...

Visited a local scrappy yesterday, bacause a friend had told me there was an amaranthe coupe in there... There was, but some donkey boy**le had ripped the spoiler off the bootlid, thus rendering it and the lid unusable...not to mention the nice bootprints all over the, otherwise good, bonnet. Both f...

Greenpeace have actually stated that this scheme is wrong...building a car is what causes the most environmental damage. The longer you can keep it running, the more you offset it's initial environmental cost. The government's scrappage scheme is actually a con, to keep the 'british' motor industry ...

I know, mate...but they will mix a can up for about £11

Cheers,

philgold

Don't care about the colour, as I'll paint them (I hope)...If Halfords do an Amaranthe rattle can

However...funds are VERY limited

due to the taxman having decided to nail me...

Also would like a coupe boot lid with spoiler (or just the spoiler).

all the best,

When I lived in Cornwall, a mate of mine had a 2CV...great fun! Roll the roof back, stick the surfboards in, listen to the Beach Boys...radical, Dude!
