Sporty little car

[dessiato]

For no obvious reason, I have fallen in love with the Ford Consul Capri Coupe.

Covert to electric, up date it, replace the seats.

My father wanted one of those. In that red, but a black roof. Mother refused to let him buy it.

Mitsuoka also do the Buddy which is RAV4 Hybrid mechanicals and looks like a K5 Chevy Blazer. Want one.

Their MX-5 thing doesn't look terrible but this is dogshit.

They should stick to their fun niche of 'things to troll classic car owners with', like the Viewt which any right thinking owner should immediately try and enrol in the Mk2 Register of the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club.

I see this little beaut is still for sale. Very silly money, so I made an offer on it a few months ago, they didn't even reply (don't think Mrs tag is keen though ).

I'm still trying to keep it on the table. Better price, worse, tatty looking body, not sure about colour scheme or water mark, but, it's a 3.2 and serviced and sold by a reputable group

[mauvais]

You're inevitably going to buy one eventually and you're looking in sensible places - these are good specialists - so just get on with it and at the very least get it out of your system

Did you see the watermarks in the purple one...blingy or tastefully subtle. Odd colour. A grand to do the scratches?
Not keen on the dodgy headset, but would I source an original...hmmm

 

[mauvais]

Watermarks aren't my cup of tea but neither is that dark red. I'd have to see it to make a judgement but I could probably live with it. Q2 diff is a good thing. Monza always used to massively overprice their cars, I don't follow GTV prices but I wonder if there's some room for haggling.

 

[hash tag]

Definitely room for haggling, they are certainly talking it up.

I've just bought a 2006 SL55 AMG sight unseen. Fucking loads goes wrong with them apparently.

Toying with the idea of a 6 speed manual swap using the aforementioned 370Z bits.

Finally got it all working. The dealer took it as a trade in, thought the transmission was blown and sold it to me for crack money. The 'blown' transmission turned out to be a broken electrical connector but it had loads of other problems. Every single thing on it now works and it made 485bhp on the dyno. It's an amazing car considering its 15 years old.

Thanks to bangers and cash I was reminded of these recently. Just 100 hit the UK. How much?

Going into the hairdressing business, then?

Many people swear by the Mazda's for a cheap fun little car. Should be good.
Meanwhile, the Alfa I have my eye on is still for sale. Mrs Tag is coming round AND will pick up the tab. I hope to get to see it in next few days.

Btw. Mazda Owners thread

It's weird that they have that reputation in the UK. In the US and Australia they are hoodlums' cars.



They 1st gen ones are shooting up in value now as they've mostly been modded, drifted and crashed or rusted away to powder.

 

[Sprocket.]

My best mate currently driving a Cayman S and a previous owner of a couple of 911s, Boxsters and a Lotus Elise will not hear a word against MX5s. He says for the money the 1.8 model is one of the most fun and agile cars he has ever owned and driven.

 

[A380]

Ok. So now the race is on to see which comes first. Him or me putting it in a ditch or it being eaten by rust.



£2k and £530 insurance with young mister A319 being 21 with no NCB…

Let’s see if it’s a lemon on a bit of summer fun.

It’s all his own earned money as was the Fabia he got for his first car. Although he did save it to go traveling. And being stuck at home during lockdown helped as he couldn’t piss his wages up the wall for the first six months.

Been trying to sell my 1.8 Civic Type S GT for a while. I hate selling cars, so many tyre kickers

 

[Ax^]

are you not getting more money for it but

add a few hundred quid that you would not mind be knocked down if it matters

might weed out a few tyre kickers looking for the cheapest deal

When I knock off from work on Friday morning I have agreed to go and see this little beauty. It sounds much loved and in very good condition. Fingers crossed
