What a Scruff

I know the motor isn't super quality, but would you lean it against your car to take a picture. It shows a certain lack of care.
(perhaps it's not his car?)

I knew some folk who lived up the Fal who would consider it A1 condition

 

[Coaster]

Quoting from the advert:

"A VERY SAD SEAGULL LS3105 POOR CONDITION SUITABLE FOR SPARES.

ONE NUT STRIPED ON HEAD..."


Would that be a Zebra nut?

It's only a crappy Vauxhall so why bother?

Certainly shows a Cavalier attitude..

I would and do

I would certainly be prepared to lean an outboard against either of my cars

and frequently do

both are £500 bangers

the outboard is probably worth more than the car

the polo I share with two teenagers and it is therefore well beaten up - inside and out

the escort estate did many years service in the furtherance of my sons topper sailing career

every weekend the car was loaded up with a topper on the roof

after the third topper drop dent I gave up and now realise that the only reason for keeping a car cleanish is to keep the rozzers away

old cars are amazingly reliable these days

thank goodness I no longer have to worry about constant velocity joints that only lasted 12,000 miles before developing the corner clunking behaviour

Seller probably a yacht broker.

 

[Seajet]

Maybe it's an annoying neighbour's car !

 

[chinita]

Just got it. Been a hard day.

And them are Corsa folk in Essex!

 

[electrosys]

Leaning a Seagull against a car like that risks scratching the paint ...













... and those tanks are buqqers to paint properly - something to do with painting directly onto brass.

BTW - what the **** is a downer engine ? An engine wots depressed ?

 

[Lakesailor]

Must be some Essex variation on the good Queen's English.

He doesn't know proper people will read the advert.

If it scratched the paint it would be a cat-astra-phe

So - is it Theresa May's car?

Doesn't look like a brass tank to me & I didn't think the legs were ever brass either, but I don't know, mine's a "modern" one anyway.

Well, yes, I would.

It's only a car, nothing important like a boat.

Yea 'tis - that's a brass 'long-range tank'. The legs themselves weren't brass, but the exhaust tubes often are. About half of my collection have brass tubes.

Ah - forgot to mention - the brass exhaust tubes usually don't look like brass (unless they've been fettled up) - they're plated with nickel or chrome - or something similar.

So which one will still be in existence ten years from now ?

Well if they are both around, the car will be more likely to start
