Doug Stirling's car is is dead

I'm sorry to announce that as of 30/1/06 Doug's car is off the road for ever. The car is being broken, all parts will be in the parts for sale section soon. If you want any bits PM me not Doug, as you can imagine he is gutted about this, first come first served. There are some choice bits.







Basically it would cost too much to put the car back on the road ever again




Pics:



Sticker placed on Doug's windscreen has the best advice



Pic of Doug's car (did i forget to mention I was talking about his Mk1 Mondy runabout? )


Emissions failed, a lot.



2 page fail sheet from the MOT centre, and they didn't even find the rear wiper blade which was missing most of the rubber - think the MOT man had lost the will to live after typing this lot out



And I did the above just the night before the MOT test thinking the Mondy was in as good order as Doug keeps his Cossies (which is very good).

Anyway, as stated, if you want any bits keep an eye on the parts for sale board!!

RIP The Mondy / Box on wheels / A to B runabout

NO NO NO! i love that car! can it not be fixed?!

 

gutter

 

I think it's terminal

But maybe just maybe there is hope

But then maybe not

 

I want first refusal on anything that works please

Shings So you want the Do Not Use Sticker?

Oh no, even that is buggered after the above speedo shot

Sorry, nothing available, nothing to see here, move along move along.

 

The most sensible car I ever purchased.

Bought it two years ago for just Ł 250.............Has the 2 litre Zetec engine.......Ghia model with air con, leather, heated seats/mirrors...etc.

Looking back at the prevoius two MOT's: Feb 2004 = 114 k miles......then Feb 2005 = 122 k miles......I think it's showing 135 k miles now - so got me moneys worth

Could leave it parked up ANYWHERE without having to worry about it getting damaged/stolen......Even coming back to it DAYS later it would still be there and start on the key - no fuss or drama........gonna miss her

Deffo going to get another one ASAP

 

If he thinks im gona bloody fix that one hes crazy (I DIDNT BREAK IT I AINT FIXING IT !!) The impossible i can do but even the man upstairs couldent sort that out.

 

Will the trim fit in a mk2 hatch?


Doug, chin up mate, we ALL loved that car, but every legend has to end one day

 

Gutted for ya mate - Ł250 bloody quid aswell

Oh well maybe its time for something more sensible eh

 

I only just noticed that speedo

In two years of owning it I dont think I EVER did more than 100 MPH in the damn thing Simon

The last thing I said to him at Weston when he offered get it to the mot for me on Monday is "look after it as if it was your own car"

 

That did it then mate Simon -

 

gutting dude


on a brighter note

300 and it's yours

 

Im just surprised he didnt fit a flamer kit to cruise round with when you told him to treat it like his own car

 

Very fair price for an N reg car Spiky But I NEED an Estate AND air con

 

nice mundano

 

doug, get an LPG mondeo.

Mine costs me 6p a mile in fuel

 

Tempted.......but that really narrows down the chances of me finding a good one: Estate/Air Con/not white.........but with LPG conversion

 

true, its likely to blow your 300 quid budget too.

by the time i got a radio and some tyres in mine it cost me over 1500 and isnt an estate, has aircon though

 

that is how he treats his own car lol

maybe a restoration project is the way to go doug

 

I remember meeting that car in person last year and remember thinking....
