  8. Arrh ..... now you're talking .

    Tough toys for tough boys indeed !

    " Look upon my works ye mighty , and despair ..... "

    Every time I watch news footage of desert warfare , there are always some geezers tooling around in a Toyota
    ..... with a belt-fed machine gun , or an anti-aircraft gun , bolted down in the back .

    It says so much more about the vehicle than any commercial that the manufacturer could put out .....

  9. Tempting, not sure you’d get through an MOT with that here though and the police might take a dim view..
     
  10. non pas pour casser des portes arrières
     
  11. That is a rather parochial attitude , if you don't mind my saying so .....
    just unbolt the " accessories " before taking it for the MoT

    ..... :):)
    just kidding around

  17. She never settles for anything other than top of the range, as you can see for yourself by her choice of boyfriend :blush:

    Tbh, I have tried to change the subject whenever she asks about the difference between the "S" and the lower powered Lidl version and I would appreciate it if you would edit your post just in case she ever pokes her nose into this area of the forum to find out why I am always chatting to other men on the internet every night and she sees that! :bucktooth:

    Just kidding - she is quite into the idea of driving a girly racer car actually though she is still applying lots of lady-logic to her shortlisting decisions.
     
  18. The graphite/anthracite grey car some kind person linked to went this morning unfortunately before we could view it. :confounded:
     
  19. Oh well, plenty more lemons in the meringue...

  20. I bought mine from Facebook marketplace, he'd listed it on Ebay but didn't come up on my searches on there it took about 8 weeks of trawling the internet to find it.

    The anthracite 1 you missed out was serviced here, it was mentioned in the listing ref the service history.
