It's fucking cold.
The slow puncture its had for two years hasn't fixed itself.
The kingpins are borderline dangerous.
It's fucking cold.
The brake warning light spends more time on than off.
One of the rear springs has definitely collapsed.
The handbrake is merely for decoration. It serves no practical purpose.
It's fucking cold.
One headlamp doesn't work.
Three of the four indicators on the front wings don't work.
The battery is starting to go flat.
The seats collapsing,
The passenger door doesn't shut without violence.
Its fucking cold.
I think it's yellow, but its so dirty I can't remember.
It's fucking cold.
Does anybody fancy coming round and fixing all that shit? Or just making it warmer would be fine. Easy to fix both and being cold 'Set fire to it;

It is only 2000 km away I can't speak for Russ, but that sound like a fantastic little road trip. You've definitely sold the idea to me.  PS:- You can keep the worms, though.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? lovin the 1 post mobile hoist! ( and now feel like goin of to the Bayou to shoot gaitors - love Cajun music) Today drove 30 miles to work and had to stop twice to clean the salt and grime off the headlights so i could see where i was going yesterday - in a diversion through Edinburgh i was aware of some bloke on a pushbike trying to undertake me - he was really going for it finally he caught me and banged on the passenger window - prepared for a road rage incident he apologised and said he was the consultant technician at the Citroen main dealer - do i want a full set of factory manuals? went in to see him at work trouble is he wants £50 each for them ( engine , 'box and presume everything else) £150 seems steep main dealers eh!
