It's the short, cold, miserable days spent over worked that make me crazy!
Trading in Archie is like having a faithful Labrador put down with a shotgun
We've agreed not to mention new car in front of him, only refering to it as NC.

seriously,
please let us know the REG , and the location of the dealer taking it,
as it would be an excellent auction buy for somebody,

As the new car won't be ready until the 14th, I put Archie up on Ebay (the indignity for him must be hard to handle), see if I can match/better their trade in offer.
Makes me sad they'll profit on both, both the Mrs and me would rather see/help a newly qualified driver on the road to Panda bliss!
So if a new driver wants him and matches the trade in offer, I'll fill him up for them, leave the tax in and throw in some spare tyres.

Careful chaps. I made an assumption myself and was politely and so beautifully corrected (think I'm doing ok so far) but as I'm celebrating 25 years of wedded bliss (not too over the top I hope) I know that certain death is only an ill-considered comment away.Whatdoyamean THEY???
Rubbish, now where's my list of wanted Panda parts gone? A number of "11" plate Panda MJs have been acquired at work and they only do a few hundred miles per month. I'm trying to work out how to persuade the mechanics to do me an engine and gearbox transplant.
Mmm, she does have a point though, you could have done all that in the kitchen sink.hee hee, ya know, them from Venus.....
The strange ones who like shoes and handbags and don't understand why you want to strip the engine in front of the fire in the lounge (I mean ! where ELSE would you do it, it is warm there).... yeah, those...
Sheeesh...
Old mechanical components need to be protected from the elements. They can be very susceptible to corrosion. You might have considered that things like carburettors do fit very nicely into shoe boxes, and if you remove any footwear, the waste tissue paper found inside is very good at wrapping metallic components after they've been "Gunked" in the bath. If you then put them in a drawer in the wardrobe that may have previously contained footwear or soft luggage the aforementioned feminine accessories could go under the bed. or better still, the garden shed.
Can't see any problems looming there, can you?
That is actually a good 'Beard' idea...
Due to the fact that 'They' only buy shoes, wear them once in the bedroom - then put them away again for ever,..... using aforementioned shoe box for fuel system components etc would be a win win.. also, the new gunk doesn't leave so much glorious perfume. They would never be discovered.....
A cunning plan !
If 'she' did happen across a pair of 45 DCOE's in a Gucci box, then you can just announce loudly ... "Why the F&%( did you buy those ??" - then proceed to 'remove them' to a safer place..
sometimes though 'They' are too stubborn, but the last laugh would be on you as she tried to get her big feet into the 38mm chokes and the Pump jets between her toes whilst mumbling something about them being retro Italian fashion accessories .......
If she got upset, you could splash a hint of hot Castrol R and scorched rubber onto her delicate ear lobes and tell her it was Canal No. 5 (Rally)......
That would work, yeah, I am sure..
Marriage licences should be like car ones, 12 points and you are banned.. wee hee !!...
In all other respects, Marriage is grand !, a divorce, on the other hand, is often about 150......

Down with that type of thing! :devil:
I don't quite get the female shoe thing! :spin: Like I mean why on earth would anyone want to spend £500 on a pair of shoes to "look at" the odd time? I could think of many things I'd prefer to spend my money on (not that I have any left after forking out all that money on fixing Dez :bang

Ah,m but Wee Smurf, you are the perfect woman by the sounds of it. you like cars, you aint bothered about shoes, I mean, do you have a sister ?
(I believe you are already in 'bliss')IN Sailing circles we say - "If you meet a woman who can cook in a force 9 gale AND smile - MARRY HER !!"
There must be a very lucky significant other in your life (apart from Dez)
My sister likes shoes!
And our cars differ somewhat... Someone in her work bumped her car in the car park and when she went out with him to look at the damage, she had to ask which dent he thought he had caused

The new Panda has been delivered to the dealers.
It's awaiting PID.
We crept in for a piccy before we get our grubby mitts on it.

Only a few hours to go until ^ arrives and I'm feeling a little guilty about Archie!
There wasn't a real reason to get shut of him, he still performs faultlessly, isn't shabby or knocked about, just "she" fancied a new one.
He's asked for little in the four years of hard graft, commuting in and out of central London, a tyre or two, a back box, an O2, a drop or two of fresh oil and the odd filter.
He's never popped a blub, flattened a battery (amazing with such short trips), the two times he did get ill (me fitting a cheap back box and strangling him and a dodgy O2) he still soldiered on, with a cough and a sneeze.
He's fired first time, every time and never ground to a halt or left us stranded.
He's crawled on his belly over the Pennines in thick snow, squeezed in impossibly tight spaces in Brussels and had his bumpers rubbed by others outside on our rough streets, he's skipped over the cobbles and assaulted the speed humps with grace.
He's one car I'm really going to miss!
I hope he gets a good owner.
