Bailed out of the GS. While something interesting, it's just not my thing. The thought of it arriving made me feel indifferent. If it'd been a ADO16/Allegro/Maestro/something British like that, I'd been super excited. Comfy, practical french estate - not so much.

Giving it to someone else on the forum who really wanted it and is genuinely excited about having it land on his doorstep. Exactly what the car needs to survive. I'd just got it fixed, driven it a few times, got bored and flogged on (hopefully for a small profit to justify the hassles).

Mrs SiC said it was incredibly ugly thing and I dodged a bullet. 😆

Mrs SiC is correct, they are incredibly ugly excuses for a car.

I desperately checked my inbox after reading that🤣. I've a cx to fix, a clutch to do in my van and routine maintenance on the bx. I need another project like a hole in the head. Plus I've my mates p38 range rover on the drive which I'm guiding him on changing the blend motors.

I've driven three different cars, put two of them through the car wash, put petrol in two of them and driven up and down the same piece of road.

The Jag is back, yay! New rear suspension arm, washers that do, new plugs etc and all new filters, Mr P is my hero. By the way Mr P did I leave a leather glove in your car?

I thought that you liked him.
Why are you challenging him to a duel?
