BETTY!!!!! I've found her!!

[Tommy K]

My lovely old car.... poor girl, what have they done to her!

I'm a little concerned... I sold her 3 years ago with 97,000 miles... James sweet had her for 18 month and used it everyday and did loads of miles... yet it's only done 100,000 now???


Must be a cat c if needing a vic test, so unfortunately she's a well abused old girl now.


Funny how you suddenly find things

....

Blimey!

There's a blast from the past. I don't think she looks right without the white hammerite wheels

Maybe when they were doing the professional repairs they wound the clock back too just for good measure...

Oh and I thought you had her remapped for power not MPG?

 

[Mike]

they must have wound the clocks back or got new ones,surely 1k miles per year cant be right.

looks good ok tho

*ive still got an n-w-m-e sticker on mine lol

At least yours is back on the road, my brava is a cat C and not been taxed for about two years now, more than likley sat in a breakers yard and been raped for parts

stephend

 

[Mike]

it does your head in when that happens dont it,you do your hardest to look after your car only to sell it on and to find it in a breakers yard ..thats one reason why i didnt sell my bravo when the engine gave up.

 

[Tommy K]

Prob is Mike.... by the time I get round to selling a car - it should be in a breakers yard!


But when I finally got to owning a Bravo that all changed - it's now like part of the family, I even gave the car a name!!


Betty had moods, once a month for about a week.... but my god, when I asked for that little extra something, normally when Im out dragging another more expensive car off a round about - she never let me down!!


I've always said, if I ever found her again, I'd buy her cos I loved her.... but It's now like seeing your ex girlfriend years later after she's been with someone else....

she's been abused, tarted up, some silly bling added & not the natural beauty with white painted finger and toe nails




Oh well, I wonder if she's still a good goer tho??

....

[Andy_sx]

I wonder if she still does a quick side line in giving other cars racing stripes

 

[Tommy K]

lol - i do hope so, the dirty little girl

....

....

 

[Andy_sx]

guess i shuldnt have been so close coming of the roundabout mind

if you can get Betty for a good price (maybe haggle on the welded up hub) then why not...

 

[Jay]

Aye, if you can get them down due to the rear end damage and obvious clocking then I'd do a deal for a wee bit of cash
