The biggest shock of all....it made it home entirely under its own power. I hadn't said it to Chris, but I really had my doubts. No probs. Its an American car. Even if bodged its going to be pretty simple. Suits its new owner perfectly!  ;D |

Get a back seat sorted and I'd be up for a Pollitt/Bizzle/Mystery jolly around London. ;D
Hang on a mo....what does 10mpg equate to in sterling getting to Bizz's and back?

Chris **edit** back seat? One of you will sit on the floor and like it. It's painted with a brush, ergo it doesn't do comfort. |

It should do more than 10mpg. You should get 15 even arsing about in it.

Having said that, the front seat isn't exactly the height of modern comfort....you could lose people in those splits!  Dash is not exactly dashing. It does, however, suit the rest of the car perfectly.  If this is telling the truth, then the rest of the car is telling a MASSIVE lie!  The car seems to go well once you work out the wierd arrangement of the shifter (putting it in 'drive' does not equate to it being in drive!)  S&M meets Quentin Tarantino  "It's better than safe. It's death proof." Shy retiring types need not apply.... |

OK, so I added an 'S' to the street name, but I am sure you can see why?  One happy guy in one menacing car!  "I make burbly noises with my motah, I scare the people of my town"  Drive by Gloucester stylie  Something about the surroundings being very posh and traditional makes this car even more imposing than if it were rolling around the ghetto or wastelands.  |

I just worked out a Bristol>Wandsworth>Bristol fuel cost at 10mpg ;D
Only £150ish.
I approve of this purchase a little more every time I see it. I love it.

Those 'tacked-on' indicators front and rear need to stay, they suit the car perfectly.

I love this car extra long time, in a totally inapropriate manner.

The ones on the back of the car are acting as little fins, I love it! the effect would be even better if they go a few more inches towards the rear. Is the engine sounding good? No weird noises? I'd be disappointed  |

Took the Oldsmobile to Sharpness...   ...Oldsmobiles love Sharpness. Basically, Rich, Dave and Zoe came along to see the 'thing', at which point we decided it would be wise to take it to a derelict warehouse and give it a kicking. It likes spinning around and making lots of noise. It also likes coughing out coolant. Meh. Mad props (yeah, I'm 'street') to Butterz for the snaps. Chris |
