I think I want another Ka

got a punto sporting and a 205 gti going cheap :)

MK1 MR2 ;)

And close to work in Pontefract...

I only have one car-keen friend in the vicinity of me so that's no problem.

What colour?

The 205 doesn't work heh. But would make a smashing daily drive.

The Punto....

Somebody here was selling one.. then changed their mind? :-)

SNIP>>

And there's a guy near me in Wakefield (about 30 miles from York) who's got a good one.

It's just a pity it's only got 2 seats when I need a minimum of 4.

This...

And this....

Are definately an either/or situation :-)

That's too narrow a point of view. There are plenty of interesting diesels. Of course, "interesting" here may not mean "quick" or "reliable" or whatever.

I suppose it depends how you define 'interesting' - I mean, some people train spot and find that 'interesting'...

LOL yes.

But I was thinking more along the lines that something interesting here would encourage me to drive. Not about ultimate fuel economy, otherwise we'd get something like an "interesting" *cough* Audi A2 TDI. Or the souless Lupo SDI I suppose.

It was red. And on eBay but didn't sell about 3 weeks ago.

Can't find it now though - only this one:

Ahhh. Colour isnt especially important to me but is to Charlie.

She likes blue .

Aha !!!!!!!!!!

You wouldn't be interested in a Merc estate that's metallic blue: ;-)

Or even a Volvo 740 estate that's blue.

Thought not.

David

Latest celica corners like it's on rails - I've seen early cars for 7K. build and reliability second to none. cheap to run too. Or a little 106 GTI (ok, french crap but fun and slightly more cred than a paxo...)

Part exchange?

Hmmm ... that depends how much you're asking for for the Accord. And the spec.

I've been told to get something sensible! My wife's just got two SP30's and the insurance is too much for her on Gp 16, so the Merc's going.

Also, she's apparently going to get a new job (only interview, which is good) that means a 15 mile commute into Leeds.

So yes, I'm interested!

David

I suspect this isn't going to happen* but what the heck.

The Accord is a '99 LS. Air, cruise, electric 'roof and windows, ABS. Erm.

*Charlie is fussy about the look of some cars.

You never know! My union (don't know why I'm a member) is trying for a 23% pay rise over 3 years, but the university's about to start taking 30% of my salary away *if* I don't invigilate an exam on the 22nd. If I do (and I can be as cunning as them) then I'm OK financially to buy something new.

And anyway, I don't agree with the current union dispute with the universities, which is about to get me expelled from the union.

Large blue estates ;-) ?

They're at:

Sir wants a 106 GTi... or dare I say it, a 16v Rallye. :-D

If there ever is a mods meet and I'm attending, I'll be bringing the Rallye... which is all of the above, bar diesel.

Not only that, but it always starts...
