New addition to the fleet today! I'd been watching it on
ebay all week and it didn't get a bid at £500 so on my way back from delivering a corsa we visited lovely* hartlepool to view this prime slab of mid '90s gallon guzzling luxury ford estate car. Two owners from new, 36,000 miles, no tax and a gearbox fault. First owner was a funeral director
So I looked, shook my head, poked and prodded and then offered £300 for it. Seller said yes, on the condition that I wasn't just going to engine rape it. I assured him that I wasn't (at least, not yet....) and put fifteen twenty spots in his 'AAAAND. It drives nicely, but can't decide what gear it wants to use. GR4 for smooth driving... I discovered it did better if you aren't gentle with it
so rather quickly I was home to show Mrs M her new wheels.
Tomorrow, I get to discover what sort of world of pain I'm in. I've got a whole spare car, what could go wrong?
