nixy Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 dropped the civic off this morning at a local bodyshop for some minor work. Nice guy said he'd lend me a car until mines ready. He'd forgotten his promise and didn't have the keys to the little runaround I was supposed to be borrowing. However, he did have something else that he said was a bit of a beast! The biggest ugliest filthiest 4x4 i have seen in my life! Isuzu trooper - jacked up with a huge space between the wheels and the arches - full of mud, shotgun cartridges, cups of coffee with mould on and tools - he sniggered as I drove away..............just had a right chuckle vision session at the garage putting fuel in - my mate from work had to literally pull me into the car from the passenger side it is so high! Nightmare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 seriously, hands up to being a woman on this one - I'm still sat at work cos I don't want to drive the beast home! The guy only uses it to go shooting and it shows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 oh god don't. It wouldn't surprise me if there was some dead stuff in the back - I daren't look! And the gears - well have you seen the ones on buses? Bit different from my close ratio type R gears - by about 6 feet! I could also do with a rope ladder to get in and out!

Chesterfield Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Thats a joke as a courtesy car - even from a bodyshop. But, a second class ride is still better than a first class walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 it's a favour rather than a courtesy car - he's doing me a good deal as a trader off a jap car forum I'm a member of. Nevertheless......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev-the-Rev Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 You won't be able to wear your glad-rags in that old thing Nixy. It looks more suited to Barbour and wellies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
