owelly Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 The thing is, I have inherited a 1990 Audi 80. Resonable condition. No t or t and it has a cracked windyscreen so it would need a new one for the MOT. I don't need an Audi 80. So what do I do with it? Its too good to scrap. Too big to put in the cupboard under the stairs with all the hoover attachments that people keep athough they have no need for. Its too big to fill with flowers and hang in the style of a hanging basket(case). To unaquarium like to fill with water and fish. So all suggestions welcome. Sensible or rediculous. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boonie Hound Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I'm a bit concerned about your windy crack 😬 Maybe you can sell it to someone who has a complete Audi windscreen but no car to put around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buda Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 if it has a sunroof, you could open the sunroof and use it as a very big shoe, although you'd walk a bit lobsided, unless you got another, and a matching bag, obviously, like a metro or a clio or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewenm Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I've been thinking about a second car... If it needs a good(ish) home perhaps... hmmmmm 70443 miles and counting... but a broken wrist ❗ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I've beent thinking about a 3rd car... ...my tintop (all of 3.5k in 1st year of ownership) is sitting 40 miles away in its own shed ❗ and I could do with the flexibility of another one here to keep the 7 company. I was thinking more Landy though... Alcester Racing 7's Equipe - 🙆🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibster. Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Strangely I've just started to look at Landies, they seem the ideal accompaniment to a Se7en and if you get a 12 seater 110 CSW you can get away with not paying Congestion charge 😬 😬 😬 Paul Supercheese R250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I wasn't thinking of anything special, just a SWB series-whatever-it-was-before-the-Defender. Traditional farm wagon... Would love a Lightweight V8 or modern SVO Defender of course... Wouldn't touch a Disco or Freelander. Alcester Racing 7's Equipe - 🙆🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boonie Hound Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Mrs B has given go-ahead for LWB CSW Landie - holding out for 7 though. Will talk about this tomorrow but for now I have to go home. Perhaps we should have a big Landrover buying session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morls Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I think the general consensus is that the Audi should be turned into a landrover 😬 (like you did with the Metro ) Mark My Caterham Silver Jubilee No. 7 is here with Mavis, under 'Mark's Cars'.

Hibster. Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I had a brief flirtation over the weekend with the idea of a soft top 110, then reality descended. Some of them are very cheap, but then they are 1 careful owner, 80 different squady drivers who didn't give a stuff, raced & ralied at every sand dune and generally driven flat out (not saying much as most ex-MOD ones are 2.5 nat asp and produce 67bhp !!) Reality has decided that I need a TDi (100+ bhp) and I like the idea of something bigger than my estranged wifes Nissan Patrol so it must be a 110, I don't need 12 seats but what the hell, with more than 9 seats you can get away with free congestion charging. Now I'm spending half of my time on Blatchat and the other half on Autotrader (and a third half on the various Landy specialists websites) Bring on the foot of snow, bring on the floods, bring on the pestilence, bring on the locusts and the souring of the milk for I will be ready Paul PS can someone lend me half a day every day as I'm getting behind Supercheese R250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
