Banger project

I would get a French car - either Citroen or Peugeot (they are the same parent company I believe and many of the parts are interchangeable). I run a Peugeot 307 diesel and have one of them electronic gizmos that reads the error codes, codes radios etc. My car has both Citroen and Renault parts on it and there are billions in scrap yards.

French cars do look the most stylish in my opinion.

I'd love a Triumph Herald convertible - but its just not practical for the daily motorway commute.

 

We just sold one - twelve grand!

 

Online?? I saw one for that price online recently.

 

I was reared in a family of men, two of which, my late father and younger brother, both mechanical engineers, work/worked with anything from cars and vans to cranes and locomotives. Although I can diagnose problems ( did that last week with my elder daughters car which turned out to be very expensive for her) I'm no mechanic. My younger daughter is a real 'petrol-head' and holds her own in any conversation with men on the subject of cars. She is currently working as a driving instructor for Mercedes-Benz. All my family are bikers too.

The three Corvettes in question are owned by my son's friend and they are called Ghenghis, Eamon and Samson.

 

We had a buyer lined up so it wasn't even advertised. If only it were that simple all the time.

 

I got the Ghenghis and Samson right, but couldn't guess the Eamon correctly. I mean....who would call a car Eamon?? My Astra is Angelina

 

Eamon or Eamonn is an Irish name meaning protector so I presume these three names are associated with 'tough' guys.

 

He could have called one Kevin then . Kevin is an Irish name I think? Not sure of its meaning though

 

I can't imagine an American calling a car Kevin NG, it just doesn't seem quite right.

 

Kevin the Corvette , as in Costner ...... A famous protector

 

Triumph TR4A IRS. Easy to work on, no fancy electronics. Race bred.
Just wish I'd held onto it

 

Me.
