How to buy a car in the lockdown.Take two. Bentley Turbo R

Fuck me, that looks good.

I'm pleased to see you're back in the Crewe Club, its been too long.

When you're ready to take my Rover in chop, let me know.

I do like my RR's so it is nice to try a Bentley. They really are well built and although not exactly simple they aren't too bad to work on and once sorted are not that expensive to maintain unless you buy into all the owners club stuff about servicing. I am hoping that I will keep this one. I get through so many cars I really should just stop buying stuff and keep one good car. Which Rover is it by the way ? I have a slight desire to own a P5 one day.

You win. I bought a car in lockdown but yours certainly trumps mine.received_865328583934031.jpeg

Thing is yours is a hell of a lot cheaper than mine and is actually useful. The old Picasso as you say is a decent enough old thing, cheap and cheerful. They get a bad press but do just get on with doing the job, they are certainly better than the C4 version. It will be a shame when they all die off as the modern stuff will never make it to cheap banger stage before being scrapped.

I blame the moderators, failed Autoshiters the lot of them.

You think they're bad, you should see the members here!

Thing is yours is a hell of a lot cheaper than mine and deservedly so. The old Picasso is a gopping monstrosity, cheap and shit. They get a bad press and they fucking deserve it, they are no better than chlamydia. It will be great when they all die off, or are banger raced to oblivion.

Bloody hell John, you're being a grumpy twat today.

Did your coup trying to be a mod fail?(again)

Everyone has their views!

Nah, just the usual level of grumpiness, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a swipe at the egregious Citroen fucking Xsara fucking Piccering again, could I?

But I never wanted to be a mod, looks like unpaid "thankless" work to me. The plan was to topple some baleful beige buffoon off his unelected perch whilst giving the cunt every opportunity to come across as the biggest possible heap of steaming, foetid, hypocritical jobbies.

Worked, didn't it?

[LynehamHerc]

Yeah, it did work but I was thinking about the MG 1100 comments as well.

Ahhh, fair enough. But I've never really been a fan of them either tbh

They're great, but even greater is the Innocenti IM3 with non-Butler steering wheel.
