What made your day today?

Getting rid of the 1.6 I bought for spares ....and that warm fuzzy feeling when I decided to keep my Green R reg.

Took buttercup out last night for a wee spin, runs great, pulling like a train, just need to sort the ABS lights

Took a picture just to annoy everybody who does not live in scotland

Have to say I look back on my puma days with fond memories - even the times when I took it up to Scotland! ose2:

Lovely pic though!

 

[zinc2000]

yes its me again, guess I must have a lot of good days :grin:

Buttercup is losing her cosy garage after 1st April and will have to live outdoors under a cover but look where she is moving to

What made my day today? Sorry to repeat from my original thread, but finding out Ex-Pressed Steel Panels are aiming to be taking orders for Puma Rear Quarter Panels later this year! I've spent a few horrendous days lookig for a replacement car that, quite simply, does not exist. I like coupes, so Alfa GTVs, MG BGTs, Chrysler Crossfires, et al have all benn searched and checked over online - but seriously there's nothing out there to match to bargain-basement fun of the Puma. Oh, and the thought of stepping from a smile-inducing Puma into a boring Eurobox was just toooooo depressing. So yes - hopefully new panels and a revamped Puma will make my year, let alone my day.

Looking around the forum.

Great day out with the local classic car club, fantastic variety of cars and "buttercup" attracted a fair amount of interest and a lot of comments along the lines of "i know its a Ford but a Ford what?"

RX8 taxed & first time out in it this year apart from when I took it for it's MOT in April. Also first visit to the petrol station since the £30 I put in it in May 2017 !!

I really need to get out more, no, I meant to say I AM going to get out more :lol:

It's like I moved to a whole new area in the country, shops closed down, new ones built where schools were previously, new road layouts, hell (no pun intended), I even saw a new crematorium being built about a mile from my home :|

Although, everytime I go out I can noticeably see the increase in traffic compared to the last time which didn't make my day at all :roll:

Got my V5 back from DVLA after submitting an engine change. They actioned the change with no actual evidence to say the change had been done!

I guess if it weren't for the fact I will now be paying more road tax they probably wouldn't have done it.

Resurrecting an old thread :grin:

:lol: it's made Yippies day at least. Funny how time passes on a forum

Been looking for a cheap runaround for a few months now just to get me out of the damn house. As usual I'm slow to buy :lol:

Bid on a few cars at auction yesterday, all widely different from each other as is always the case with me. None reached the reserve price and I got no option to negotiate with the sellers even though I had the last bid on them.

Today I put 23 cars on my watch list to bid on if the price at hammer time grabs me enough to bid on them. The weirdest was a 2014 Toyota Yaris. Basic, boring and nothing to write home about.....but perfect as a cheap runabout.

Although, there was one thing that stood out - as per the photo below!!! ( I left the image small so you have to click on it :lol: )

It had it's first ever mot THIS month. Been sat hidden away for who knows how long. I suspect a sad tale to it's history for some reason but who knows what it's exact story is. Certainly peaked my interest :lol:

For the money I expect it to go for I could get a much newer specimen. Have to see how well the other cars before it go, before I decide. :roll:

Surely the Rex is a cheap runabout since it doesn't move? :lol:

 

[YOG]

Surely the Rex is a cheap runabout since it doesn't move? :lol:

Bet he's got it road taxed and insured, though! :grin:

 

[Pumanick]

My 20 year old Puma passed it's MOT with no advisories !

that's always impressive
