What would you buy & why?
Re: Yet another "what should I buy next?" type of thread..
Nah, you're fine there mate, I'll pay a larger fee for a youtube clip that shows the thing being bailed.The person flogging that Leepu-inspired Escort, possibly to fund the repair of their seized cap lock key, wrote:CAN DELIVER LOCALLY FOR SMALL FEE
The Accord is nice to look at but when did the definition of "rare" change?
These days, it appears to mean that there are few left rather than that it wasn't ever one of the world's ten most prolific cars as the Honda was, with roughly half being these semi-autos. Nice Datsun though, but sixteen grand and the reserve isn't met yet?
Were it not for the vendor's solid history of selling cars and parts that their buyers have found acceptable, I'd be wondering whether that listing was in fact a breach of their account security, what with the only image being a random one taken at an event some years ago and the description being non-descriptive!OK, so anyone travelling to buy something that dear would have asked for information before committing, but a reserve of that much? Really?

Wow! I could look at Silodrome for hours on end and not fall asleep.

Yes, we have. That Maxi has seen the attention of a welder whose work causes me to question whether they chose the right trade on careers day! Look at the test history mate, apparently it is OK to "mend" holes with pitch and a shovel. I last saw it at a show in July and I didn't want a welding project then either!
That Dodge is a nice thing, only yesterday I was watching Ant & Mike do one of those on Wheeler Dealers, it looked amazing and they changed it from its factory slant six & manual to an in-period option of a big V8 and automatic, but as I rarely travel on dual carriageways, a LHD would be a bugger to live with and besides, I'd definitely not be allowed that in the works car park as a nice V8 soundtrack is, perhaps unreasonably, not considered as important as a proven ability to average more than 30mpg there & back!

@ the C5. The seller seems to think, and says as much in the description, that his is the only NOS example in captivity. Hard luck pal, there are two on eBay right now! Here the other: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOS-Sinclair ... 0005.m1851Less expensive too!
Liking the LR, but might it be a bit uncomfortable on these triangular wheels?
Happy Chrimbo to you too, I didn't know they had such a thing in France!
I take it that Santa was good to you?J

Re: Yet another "what should I buy next?" type of thread..
Hmm, Harry who? Never mind, I looked him up, he's that bloke who gave up medicine for a career in "comedy", right? Ill-fitting shirt collars and surreal gags about stuffed badgers and - it would seem - a film that the internet has never heard of! So the giant cone thing should be cheap. 
Then my mind strayed and I found a forecourt in that Wales where many, many cars are of a suitable shape and size for me. I especially like the Sparky, probably Toyota & Daihatsu's equivalent to a Ferrari Testarossa but with seven seats and mechanically similar to the daily driven bB but taller...

Calibra bloke has a good point about leather furniture though, but he misses the other disadvantage; the fact that a car with leather chairs inevitably smells like the inside of a dog kennel once the initial, rather pleasant smell of animal skin wears away!
