FECPOTY 2018
Re: FECPOTY 2018
I’m abstaining after that complete mess of a year where I was cruelly defeated due to the Exige/Exiges debacle.

All fecpoty and associated witty comments and malarky are lost to the sands of time.

Yep, Rev won. There was an extra million points if your name was Dave and you bought a 911.

I guess Nebpor doesn't count seeing as he never posts here any more...

Re: FECPOTY 2018
Even factoring in the above average humidity in the car, does it qualify as a shed? Also, I'm sure you could bolster the resale value by describing it as a Zen water feature, designed to induce calm and tranquility in the passengers.

I don’t remember anyone buying anything obviously-shit recently ? Have we all got too old for that nonsense ?

I mean, even a £500 2004 Micra is unlikely to rot out from underneath you; try saying that for a 1994 Fiesta ten years ago

The Mito is far too modern and the Fiat has gone past shed and come out the other side as classic.integrale_evo wrote: ↑Mon Dec 30, 2019 9:36 pm I got the mighty mito and a smashed up fiat covered in bird shite
Beany is on the right track. Has anyone here bought a <£500 car recently ? Even <£1k ?

Its head gasket is going, but otherwise it's clean outside and and in (not due to him being precious with it, in the slightest) and other than a likely ignorance-related HG issue, it's been bob on.
His plan is to run it till it stops running, then replace it with something else that costs under a grand.
Re: FECPOTY 2018
I bought a 2004 Accord with 200k on it 2 years ago for £900. I've had to replace the brakes and clutch, aside from that it's been completely reliable. I've done another 30k in it without a problem.
I'm amazed at how well cars last these days. As someone (Beany?) mentioned earlier, can you imagine a 1994 car with over 200k on it and still running perfectly?
