Re: Do you have a "bogey brand"?
Volvo
The 145 bought for good money because I thought they were still worth something. And contained every possible problem, losing me a month’s wages in less than a month.
The 262 I chased for years and never found.
The 760 I wanted V6 parts from that got shredded before I got to the yard (oh, sorry mate!
The several attempts to buy a 66 and then a 360, no car. (And I’m someone who almost always buys the first one I try)
It just ain’t going to happen. Bye bye Volvo.

Mazda MX5.
Three times I've tried to buy one,
First time beaten to it by being caught in traffic
Second time I had to do unexpected overtime at work and missed out.
Third time the vendor changes his mind about selling the car to me after a test drive and agreeing on a price.

Do you want to make it four? There's one on my drive doing nothing now, if you like I can agree to sell it to you and then change my mind when you're on your way to collect itWarren t claim wrote: ↑Sat Jun 12, 2021 11:21 pm Mazda MX5.

How would Evil Warren feel about that though?
He'd also have your address.

You'd have no chance against the Scouse version of Liam Neeson.
I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career as a taxi driver. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.

But what he doesn't know is that I'm a nightmare to people everywhere. I don't do violence but I bore people to death. God knows I bore myself.

BMW never owned one never wanted to (although with all the BM content in the ZT I suppose I came close. Some of the radio and instrument stuff which turned out to be BMW was an absolute joke - the sort of stuff that would be a laughing stock if BL had done it.
