Panda Panda Panda I just sold and delivered this lovely 43k mile Panda to its lovely new owner. They joined me in the idea of reliable fun for a fraction of the cost of a new car + £35 Road TAX.

So pleased that we’re able to adjust to weather conditions and not deliver post and parcels that are soaked through… @RoyalMail I try but struggle to promote good services, because we just don’t get it!

Ok ok, I promised to only ever buy a V8 one again, but this is just such a peach; Roof Box included! 2006 Mercedes-Benz E280 95k Miles. FSH. 12 months MOT. Heated Seats 🔥 For Sale 💷 07999 129 129

I also just got a new camera so I think I’ll post more photos on here and instagram

I went out for dinner this evening. 2 people had a main course meal each, a side dish each, a glass of house wine, a can of beer = £65 Fine. I parked for 2hrs 47mins in a car park built 26 years ago = £6 I’ve cheered myself up with a McFlurry = £1.89 I’m bamboozled

Following on my my previous twitter gripes

@AutoPap Also, what’s the issue with it being a Cat S - another follower has posted the advert, which they clearly state it’s a Cat S… seems these lads did nothing wrong but have their time wasted?

Car dealers : a couple of lads turned up to sell a car to my neighbour. She came over to ask me if it was any good. Turns out it was a Copart Cat S, all 4 tyres were different Chinese makes, no service history was available BUT the question here is the V5 previous owners address was blacked out by felt pen. That’s illegal right? Car is a VW Golf reg DE68 RJJ. Link autotrader.co.uk/car-details/20…

@AutoPap For GDPR reasons, often names/address/contact details will be blanked out from big scale sellers like copart/BCA etc. I’ve had it before where they’ve cut out the address on a V5. Totally normal in the motor trade.

@hjwakerley Throwing my hat in the ring.. M120: unpopular opinion, fantastic, epic petrol engine, looks ugly. An OM606 on the other hand…

I don’t normally bite on social media debates, but I can’t let this one go. Someone just called the Mercedes M120 V12 an ugly “unexciting box.” Blaspheme. This, from a bloke currently cramming an Aston Martin V12 into a 190E… as if that’s the sensible option.

@hjwakerley @fosgoodwood I’m going to guess this is one of the few, rare, original UK-supplied 500E. Lovely.

@RKNL86 I believe the previous owner was a haulage baron!

@R129Chap There's a clamp on balancing weight on the outside of the rim. You do that on trailers and vans, not classic cars

Who can spot the faux pas?

@simpelwegBas Love it. It does involve the hard top

@R129Chap Having the hardtop on in summer! And the balance weight.. but that’s nitpicking

@bernardjgray Bingo!

@R129Chap Panoramic roof not available at the time of build

@OldManDawson .. has seen better days! Nope, try again.

@R129Chap Front bumper ?

@pengelaw Bingo! 10 points!

@R129Chap Pan roof not on the early models

@jameselmer73 😂 annoying but I haven’t got round to doing minor changes

@R129Chap Balance weights on the face/rim edge.

@g4vyn Well spotted.. fortunately no incidents this time..

@R129Chap He's parked in front of an outward opening door? There's a dent waiting to happen!

@paintedpixie71 Not applicable for early cars

@R129Chap No side repeaters
