Djw Johns terrible cars and his bad decisions regarding them

[Djw John]

I'll let you know how much fun it is poking holes in the floor and getting rust in my eyes.

 

[R3k1355]

Who gets sentimental over a POS Fiat?

 

[Djw John]

He's just that type of guy really. Different strokes for different folks eh?

 

[imprezaworks]

Probably had it years?

I bought a 98 corsa auto that she had owned from new.

Only sold it as she was relocating and getting married etc

 

[Djw John]

Yup, my grandad bought it in 2002, for 7k according to the invoice I found. My gran took it when he died but missed her fiesta so then my uncle got it and has had it for 15 years.

 

[imprezaworks]

Great stuff. More pics required

 

[Djw John]

Well, if you insist

 

[Daniel]

I love it!

 

[imprezaworks]

Old skool

 

[R3k1355]

It's been well looked after thats clear.

 

[Djw John]

Aye cleanest car on the drive

 

[alistairolsen]

Well this took a turn! Didn't realise the Brava made it that late!

Fingers crossed the rust isnt too bad, looks tidy and well cared for as long as it can be sorted!

 

[Mork of Ork]

Still pretty handsome cars, they've aged quite well imho.

 

[Djw John]

Fiat has made its last journey. Expectations where low. And it didn't reach them.

Ah well, nothing lost for me bar 15 minutes of hammering it.

 

[Djw John]

Oh for f***s sake. f**king default thumbnail pish.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Good grief.

Good job you didn't hit any strong breezes or light traffic in that.

 

[Djw John]

Knows. Shouldn't have hit the speedbumps so hard.
Big green accordion car.

 

[alistairolsen]

I mean the rust is impressive enough, and then you see the row of patches.....

 

[Djw John]

Good eyes Mr Olsen.

Yes, I don't know how many times it's been patched but it's fair to say anything lower than the door seals isn't technically metal anymore.

 

[Romanian Tyre Fitter]

Aye that's a bit far gone tbh

Banger racer incoming I reckon

f**k THAT.

Spoke to my uncle, he's putting it up on fiatcliosport and seeing if anyone wants anything.
If anything goes then it'll get removed next Friday and then itll get put through the bailer.

Pull the cat off and get that flogged, explain to said uncle "nothing of value pal"

 

[Djw John]

Not convinced it's the oem one which is very annoying. But don't you worry your pretty wee face, it'll be recip'd off and investigated.

 

[Djw John]

Bored at work and realised I didn't put up the replacement for the mini but it doesn't need its own thread.

Still needing a diesel for work so it's a 1.9 150bhp thing with 153,000 miles when I got it. In the bangernomics category of value.

 

[Djw John]

It's not had an easy life in the last 5 weeks since getting it. 3k, a service, tip trips, scrappy runs, stone purchases, all round dogsbody

 

[PP172]

Nice barge. My father in law is using my 9-3 at the moment, 226000 miles and still quick! Mines the 150 diesel too. I had to use it the other day for a tip run as well. I also had the chance to fit some of those Vauxhall wheels but didn’t in the end, they look good!

 

[Djw John]

I'm not a massive fan of them but they'll do fine.

I start a new job in 2 months thats 4 miles from home instead of 45-60 so I'm not sure how long past then this will stay for

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

but it doesn't need its own thread

Title change to Jonny's old bangers instead ?

Saxo.
Show.

 

[Djw John]

@Donny_Dog ok. It's not a long story though.

How it arrived on Saturday

How it left on Wednesday

I've owned cars for less time but I'm not sure if I ever covered so few metres in one.
Was offered it, took it, offered a friend the spare alloy fuel tank that it bizarrely came with, he bought the lot.

 

[Chuckles]

I still love them Saxo’s. Fond memories of trying to drive one in work boots and basically pressing all pedals.

You could say the same for ballet slippers tbh.

 

[bashracing]

I still brake with the side of foot, heel- toe style because of those pedal boxes

If you press all 3 and hold for 5 seconds, it restarts.

What's he doing with the rest?!
Why did you buy it in the first place!

I thought it took a screenshot?

Thats on a 106 mate.
