It could literally go bang in a big way.
One for Lyneham?

No, it was the missus and eldest that loved it. Being bright orange didn't help either, I could feel my balls shrink whenever I got in.
I suppose it was pretty reliable though, unlike the thing that we don't mention, well at least as much as we should.

Surprised at you Mr Sic……seems a bit of a cunt’s trick to win the auction and then notice things afterwards and retract a bid??SiC wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 6:02 pm I did bid on this and was the highest bidder.
Found this article which suggests it's a good runner.

But then looking on a computer screen I realised the paint had runs

And spiders embedded into the paintwork

So I retracted my bid.
Also I like the look of wire wheels but not sure I could live with them. It's a car I'd want to chuck around a lot and wire wheels aren't supposed to be great for that.

It hadn't finished

Yeah that's correct, it hadn't finished and still bidding. As chance would have it, it sold for £300 more than my highest bid.
Still on the lookout for a Midget but zero Chrome bumper cars anywhere near me at the moment.

Understood….looked alright too!

It did and I'd probably have bidded if it wasn't for those wire wheels. I like the look of them but I know they'd just piss me off in the end.
Not much left on now, especially coming up to winter. Quite like this one though. Just irritatingly far away and I haven't had time to think about travelling over to look at it. Its at a price level where its enough that I'd want to have it looked at before committing.

Spitty is definitely something I'm after too. This is tempting but I think I'd prefer a Midget first. Plan to have both eventually and complete* the collection, so I don't need to buy another car again (yeah right 
).

Looks alright
Christ. Was it painted with sheets of sandpaper?

hmm? Can't be that bad?the paintwork is hand done and not good – the photos flatter it considerably
