Oh.

I thought you meant something inherently shit, not just a pile of shit.

No, I think it's got inherently shit written all over it.

I was thinking more of "shit by design", rather than just condition.

I knew what you meant, I'm just feeling a bit 'anti-red specials' at the moment. they seem to be taking over!

I'm sure it'll go fine strapped to a Volvo, or even a Saab.

I need to wake up my W123 it's a 280E but some lowlife stole the radio by levering the door out of its frame; bending the roof and gutter in the process. I want a 280E coupe shell to swap the engine and box into.

I adore mine, I don't think I've had a nicer car to drive, the only problem I've got is that fuel is now 25% dearer than when I bought the car, and I do way too much flat out motorway driving and it's just too dear to run now. I've driven more different cars over the years than I care to remember, and short of a series 3 xj6 or an xjs, I can't think of anything I'd rather be driving.

At least the 2cv will be cheaper...

It's come down a huge chunk around here - £1.20 a week ago, now £1.14.

Still £1.20 around here, but Worcester is a Major Rip Off City..and a shite hole to boot.

The first time I put fuel in the merc, it was 98p. It won't ever be again, I don't think. Sad times. Makes me wish I'd tried harder at school.
