Have you ever seen one of your old cars driving about and been annoyed that someone's modded it badly?
I nearly crashed into my old Mg zs yesterday as the daft twat pulled out on me in Tescos car park, the whole car is COVERED in X Power stickers

cossiestu

At least it wasn't covered in Bring Back Clarkson stickers!?

Only seen one of my cars, but hadn't changed since I sold it to my mate...

I sold my sportka earlier this year to a little (70's) old man 10mins up the road. I see it nearly every day and it still has the 'passionford' sticker in the back window 😌

Yes. My black series2 was mint, original and running 200bhp when I sold it... Saw it a couple of months later at a show, the new owner had treated it to a set of 18" wolfrace wheels, 6x9s cut into the original parcel shelf, red ford badges and he was smoking in it

I was pissed to say the least.

Being a older member I see a lot of my old cars at shows and tend to walk straight past them as I fear for the halfords bug biting the current owners

Sold an old car of mine to a mate, it had a slight leak on the radiator which he never bothered to sort. He topped it up and forgot to put the rad cap on, it boiled over and overheated. He left it to cool down, filled it back up and drove it home to get the cap, needless to say he ragged the absolute bollocks out of it all the way and cooked it. It never ran again. So he basically destroyed it right in front of me the coont.

My father in law sold his beloved mint mk1 Escort to a girl round the corner from his work, two days later, she pulled out a side turning, in front of a truck, apparently, the passenger side door was pushed halfway accross the drivers seat...

Ouch. Was she ok.

cossiestu

Yeh, amazingly, got out with just a few cut and bruises, but ok!?

The Father in law was almost in tears seeing the car, he heard the crash from work and came out to see what happened and saw the wreck...

Marcyg

Had a sierra 1.8lx, absolutely loved the car, went everywhere in it, met my wife while I owned it. Sold it on, my missus was following it down the m27 one morning and the damn thing blew up right in front of her!

Carlos-Titx

Sold my mondeo to MikeyRobbo off of here. It's cleaner than when I had it

And I get to have it as a courtesy car when my jeeps in his garage for work

Proper sound lad.

Did mikey get the power steering sorted carlos?

Sold a mint e36 318d touring last year, didn't wanna sell but we got given a mondeo pretty much and needed the money so flogged it. Saw it last month in a queue of traffic, the guy has sanded the bonnet down to bare metal and rusty and covered the entire car in stickers. Proper bell end

cossiestu

Why the fuck do people do that??! As if cars don't rust, without help from nobs with sanders!

Caddyshack

Caddy 20v Turbo with Electric opening cover, lowered on coilovers and axle flip with big disc conversion all round and full respray.


I bought a nearly dead Caddy pick up, 1 owner from new, he could not believe it when I turned it in to this...he liked it though:

gcfcos

Nice job there mate fair play to u!

gcfcos

One of the mechanics at my last place of work had a nice mk2 golf gti he had done up but it had a rusty bonnet with a sticker on it saying RUST IS LIGHTER THAN CARBON FIBER. Funny but looked shat

cossiestu

Love those Caddy pickups, couple round my way, not as nice as that though....

cossiestu

There's a Passat round here that's been treated to the shit, rusty look, it looks horrible!

gcfcos

The look I love is like the old 30s American pick ups where they clear coat over the "patina" I think that looks awesome

Carlos-Titx

Not yet pal, he's been extremely busy at work. And he has a few jobs on the jeep to do first

daveb_lives

Sold this capri for Ł500 about 8 years ago and now it's on eBay for Ł8500. Granted when I sold it in needed some work doing, is a 2.0s but ran drove and not advisories on the mot then!

My old 24v 4i was pointed out to me at Ford Fair one year. I was gutted when I had a look at it, but it's not my car so why should I worry what it looks like.

After I've sold a car or a bike (and I've sold lots!) I couldn't care less what happens to it...for all I care you can set fire to it whilst I watch, wouldn't bother me.

Sold an RG400 years and years ago, warned the bloke about the vicious powerdelivery so told him NOT to ride it under the powerband with the throttle wide open...guess what...one week later he did and as soon as it cleared it's throat it spat him off...and I laughed!

The only regrets I have is that I sold stuff that wasn't 'special' back in the day wich is worth a fortune today!!!
