I dont think I thought my fleet through......How much car does £50 buy?
I have got a week off work, so thought I have 2 sets of draws and some other rubbish for the tip, I also wanted to pull the interior out of Puddles and bring the seats etc home to clean and dry.
BUT.... As the owner of two 75s, and two BMW E46s a coupe and a saloon. I have nothing to fit anything in that is particularly large. So I have purchased a very ropey Fiat Panda with MOT until April for the sum of £50. How much car does £50 buy? Well.... If anyone has seen my post a few weeks ago about fitting a clutch in a panda, its the same panda. I fitted a new clutch and two brand new tyres and next day the engine started tapping from the top end. So I bought it off the owner for £50 (He bought it from me about 2 years ago for £450). So how bad is it? Well, it has been smoked in a lot, the seats are stained and for a reason I have yet to look into, the headlights dont work. So far I have just bought it home and looked and seen how bad the oil is, I have changed the oil and added some auto transmission fluid to the new oil. Its a slowly getting quieter, I will change the oil again next week. So my question from all this? What is the biggest most awkward thing you have moved in your 75/ZT? |

In our first R75 when we had little money I picked up enough turf to lay our front lawn in it. There were rolls of turf everywhere. Took an age to clean the car our afterwards
