)Fake has done a great job this last year, and between Me, Rich and Fake we've done really well in the Uni rallying championship, taking the cup with maximum points. However, I have been slightly (just a teeny bit) rough with the car and it's small rust problem became a rather more structural crack towards the end. It's nothing major, but certainly wouldn't have happened if I wasn't pushing it. Just as I finished doing that job, Mr MOT man said he wanted the other side de rusted as well and I don't have time to put to it currently.
So, off I hunt for a cheap daily with some tax and ticket. Firstly... when did cars go up?? Me and Hugh used to bid 99p on an ebay 300 because it had some bit of trim we wanted, then get worried when it looked close to us having to find somewhere to put them! Hugh got at least one 99p car, I got a free one, and loads we were outbid and sold for £1.04!!!
The only car I could find that looked anything like near the bill was a old submarine shaped carb Saab 900 which had been owned by a Saab nut. Mr Nut had just bought a new car and needed driveway space, so this car was going for a song. Armed with pennies, off I set, only to be intercepted whilst putting my shoes on by a phone call from Mr Farrell. He had heard of my predicament, and had rung to see if anything in Farrell Towers suited the bill. Vast quantities of Volvo's were described, when all of a sudden he mentions a black 360 GLT that had tax and ticket until Sept, and just needed a bit of cosmetic tidying. This was... sometime last week, so I asked Pete to bring it along to the V3M meet last Sat for me to have a look at.
Overall, she's really nice. Fogs weren't working, headlamp wipers on the nearside is resting up (suspected drivers side motor been used), sunroof didn't work, and a few other likewise non really important for what I wanted bits.
So, and to quote me from 3/4 years ago
Me, then wrote:I'm going to keep this one standard, it's only a driver whilst I fix Kar
Apart from in the last 3 years I've really got into this motorsport lark, so there is a new plan (well, for now anyway)Me, now wrote:I'm going to keep this one standard, it's only a driver whilst I fix Fake so I can use that as a driver whilst I fix Kar
I'll keep Jet as a daily, and fix Motorsport Fake. That way I don't need rear seats, or comfortable front seats, or fuel economy, or anything else silly and boring. I have uncomfortable seats, and cage, and Adam has been sorting me an engine.
Then, I keep both, whilst I fix Kar. Then I have comfortable daily Fast Kar, and Fake, and sell/break Jet depending on what state she's in.
That plan will likely change tomorrow. So far I've fixed Jet's foglamps (relay, bad earth, and bad connections on the multiplug), re aligned the sunroof so it works, replaced all the dash bulbs, fixed the boot light. I'd forgotten how much more fun fixing things that really don't need to be done is! Have just swapped some tyres for a new HU too (re emergence of another Wessex MC 300 is likely today or tomorrow).
. Spotted a white 300 mk2 with the glt alloys painted in white yesterday its cool that they are still around.
that was kind of him! 
I've just had a pair of 360s delivered, including a black F plate GLT. I see lucrative business...
