today my granada died.
basically the weedy clutch carn't pull jags up steep hills or change up to third at whenever the rev limiter cuts in. and i had to walk a mile home. worst thing was id just flushed it and put in several liters of antifreeze.
so as temp cars ive got the possibility of;
the jag. 4.2 liters and got a current range of 1-10 miles depending on how soon it feels like cutting out. smells a bit of dog.
rover v6 thing. v6, but fwd and auto. stood for ages and smells. the timing belt is a nightmare so hasn't been done for so long its a timebomb.
volvo. its rwd and got a rear mounted gearbox makeing it cool. however its a volvo so it isn't. noisy prop.
2.0 4x4 mondeo. makes noises and no temp gauge. nice seats but girlie colour.
bmw 325. slightly shabby. not manual.
bmw 535. as above but bigger and less economical but more shabby. radiators held by good glue. ;D
moggy. i hate this thing with a passion. smelly and fusty. i don't know if fustys an actual word, but if it is it means that when you get in the car your nostril become blocked by carpets/other curse word thats fallen apart long ago. imagine wicker basket meets angle grinder.
mk dull escort ghia. 1.4L of power. would have ammusement factor as 2 of my mates have these. we could race em. imagine the granada above but smaller and with a clutch. no picture as its not in the yard.
emma the dog. eats dust masks and smells of jaguars.
I'm going to have to borrow one of the above or get my capri legal. and it';; be xmas by then if I'm lucky.
i reckon ill go for one of the bmws. i do f*ck all miles a day so mpg isn't a problem for me.
