[nathanredfearn]

I will consider anything, but must be lhd.

I do not mind if it needs rust repairs or repaint, or retrim i am also interested in a car in good condition.
I would prefer a painted dashboard model if possible.
Must be complete.
I do not mind if it has a 126 engine and box or original.
It does not have to be UK registered or on the road.
I would like a car that has not been messed with, no pimp my ride sytle customs TA!
Cash waiting, must buy in the 2-3 weeks. Any help or pointing in the right direction would be wonderful!

Hi Nathan. You shouldnt have too much trouble finding one, especially if you dont mind a rusty one. I will keep a look out.  Excuse my ignorance but what on earth does "Pimp my ride/custom TA" mean? Call me oldfashion but not being a rap fan or member of a Newyork gang these thinks have to be explained to us old folk!

Hi Bob

I am sadly dissalusioned now, I thought you were " HIP HOP & HAPPENING "

No, just an old rocker! I notice that you offer no explanation yourself John, and you have children! I see your Cursor has taken off, hope it does well, I knew you wouldnt keep it, Both Bambys and Cursors are not worth the space.

[Stuart Cyphus]

Both Bambys and Cursors are not worth the space.

 All the more reason to make space for them in my opinion.... 

 Don't ask me how I know, but Pimp My Ride was a simply ghastly TV programme where some right prong of a bloke would go around tarting up seriusly pathetic peoples seriusly pathetic cars, usuly by means of painting it pink, putting 87-inch wheels on it & shoving four million quids worth of sterio in the boot.

 Custom TA means customised cars, & TA = standard abbrivation of "thanks"

 This has been a public infomation snippet from the (suposedly) younger RUM genaration.

Thanks for that Stuart.  I never saw the program but it sounds painfull , much the same as that American chopper prog, yuckkkk! You are welcome to all the Bambys and Cursors, stack em six deep in the back garden. Will I get my ride in your Comtesse this year?

[Inaheinkel]

Hi Bob & Stuart

I liked the Pimp my ride programe the one time I saw it. Partialy because the bloke doing the programe was a bit toungue in cheek and looked like a stand ups impression of a 70's porn star.

The cars they started with were crap, and afterwards at least the looked good, even if they wern't my taste.

I would have kept the Cursor, but as usual I need the dosh to survive and keep my other purchases and hobby going, plus I havn't got a garage or any spare parking.

Smae sort of performance as a Super Comtesse (well mayby a bit faster) but it's so sleek you will look like you are going faster

Hi John. I wouldnt know what a 70's porn star looks like especially a male one but will take your word for it. Seriously though , about cursors, Bob Cottons sons drove these cars whilst sixteen , well actually one had a Bamby and the other a Cursor and Bob said that the Cursor was by far the better engineered car although both had a completley unsuitable engine/ transmission. Will we see you at the Bath Rally in three weeks?
