What do you all think?! I like it! Diesel so should be quite good on fuel.

Hmm am I right in thinking this would be a big job?

Xantia looks like it would be quite the task, but a xantia td will get ya 6-700 miles to a tank and theyre comfy as ya like.

Give the taxi a miss, sounds like it needs a new ring gear.  That isnt something you can fit yourself very easily, looking at £400ish.

Oh man.  I thought you were broke?

My nana is actually buying the car for me, well shes given me £200 towards it

And Im on a better wage at work too

It runs on LPG man! tis mint! just got to get it back home, MOT the big barge and then it will all be ready to go, just about :D.

Oh my word! how many miles!

good luck  

sounds like a bargain :-D
Better make sure you carry spare bulbs, etc. as its the law in some c**tries

now find a cheaper car

Tempting... but not this year nope

Oh and if all goes well Im picking the car up tomorrow

Driving down, a friend is driving my car back and Ive got it booked in at Quick fit for a latish MOT tomorrow and I got the 1 days insurance today from dayinsure.com

Ok, got it back home yestarday night and then had a date with the girl friend, so heres some of my own pics of it:





I had to spend £18 on a tyre before driving it back as it was VERY bald.
It now has 259,000 miles on the clock.

It seems ok on the juice.

The petrol thingy works, one bulb is out from what I can see.

There is mainly cosmetic damage.

From what I can see it needs doing:
Lockable fuel cap
Check bulbs
Give it a good wash
Check the drive shafts (Slight grinding noise on the motorway)
New Battery
I might see if I can get a company to sponsor us with 5 new tyres.

Sweet, we need to attack that baby with some paint!

We agreed on Vince the Volvo?

Reckon Ill manage to get home by the 11th of July? Its possible I wont have the same job by then, let alone that training course - but I guess as long as we can pass an airport if the drive home looks like itll take a lot longer...
