Those front bucket seats are the same as those fitted to the '80s Charger, lol. Not many surviving with red interiors!

i bought a car earlier this month that has become my daily.
She's a '79 180B wagon. Been sat 15 years but a days work and she's up on her wheels again, MOTd and all. I'm well chuffed as i bought it blind and it needed very little!

put the cam finger back on that jumped off because a valve had stuck
Replace front exhaust
ungum the fuel cutoff solenoid. Fit a set of General Lee wheels.
fit new battery, drain the manky fuel and put fresh in.
Take for MOT: failed on cracked front flexi brake hose. replaced . Sorted!
Teething troubles: running hot: clogged rad. replaced. Clutch started to slip , replaced. Thats it. Done 800 miles now.

Kicked out the 2006 Jeep Commander Limited and got given FREE a 1993 Chrysler Town and Country minivan, the best damned move I ever made with a car, perfect for the kids, the wife can drive it and it's beat up already, 20MPG and runs perfectly, not something I can say for the last THREE shiny new vehicles I got from Daimler Chrysler

Plus these things are bomb proof, the guys that are working for me have one of the same year , it's got 208,000 miles on it and still going strong- they should have stuck to making these things- IMO

Well, the minivans are the one model that evolved rather than being re-invented. Now, where did I put my photos of that 440 powered Dodge Caravan ...

A Toyota Power-Van, 2.4 diesel, loaded up with plumbing gear, it does have alloys though, probably run about a 55 quarter!

The Citroên XM is long gone

Too much trouble and probably the car that has been most expensive owning and least in traffic of mine.

I inherited a 93 Escort 1.8 diesel (non-turbo) a few months ago, but it got too slow and cold for safe driving by me. So I picked up this 99 Durango SLT + last week. Suddenly I just

winter driving.

Only just seen this thread , was origonally posted before i joined the forum.

Here's our Daily hack's Peugeot 306 Merridian 1.9 Turbo Diesel , just aquired on Sunday . Great little car , had a new engine fitted only just , cost more than i payed for it

And the Transit is what i spend most of the time driving . It needs a Bananarama!

Its going in September , Might get a sprinter next , not too keen on the new Tranny.

Had the Jeep Cherokee Limited Up til Sunday

Loved it but she didnt. So thats why i got her the Pug.

And now ive got this yesterday a Mustang 3.8 V6
