8pints Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Ignore the jibes Stan, petty jealousy is what it is. Can I just take this opportunity to compliment you not only on the car but also on your beard. It's probably the best beard on VillaTalk, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 A green car. Old, not worth much, but in decent nick. Probably cylce more than drive, though.IMG_0329.jpg if you don't drive much, it's probably worth knowing that those centre caps on your alloys are worth an awful lot. I know 2 people who had them, 1 person had there's stolen, the other guy sold his to an enthusiast for a few hundred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 can't get pictures up but I drive an Austin Mini Mayfair '86, absolutely love it and can't imagine driving anything else. MPG is rubbish, reliably unreliable, 0-60 in 20+ seconds, but great great fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was one of those I saw at the Top Gear show last year , couldn't find the door handle to open it ... it's some form of scanner that you wave your hand over and the doors then open , if you have the key in your pocket (otherwise presumably anyone with a hand could steal it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 15, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 15, 2013 I thought my car was quick, but this is in another league!!What do you drive? I'd say it goes without saying that a McLaren would be in another league to most cars so I'm curious now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Here's moi, be-suited and be-bearded with the said beast! Have you driven it anywhere half decent where you can put your foot down.? I had a drive in my boss's Ferrari FF coupe the other day, that's pretty nippy (even if the back does look like a BMW 1 Series). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you driven it anywhere half decent where you can put your foot down.? I had a drive in my boss's Ferrari FF coupe the other day, that's pretty nippy (even if the back does look like a BMW 1 Series). Nothing where I can get anywhere near top speeds, but enough to sample the 'pin you in your seat' acceleration in low gears. I'm in a situation of 'bend it, mend it' so a little wary of opening it up too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
