So my local bodyshop dude has has my trusty MR2 since Thursday. He rung me today to tell me that he was running behind and that he's got a 'run around' for me to use while its getting done.

So I got there, tells me that I'm not allowed to thrash it.. walk round the corner and its a sheddy E-Reg F**d Sierra Saphire Ghir (sp?). Its got a brown interior, it totally stinks inside and the seat is held together with gaffer tape!

I have got to pick my girlfriend up in it later.

Driving poxy cars like this makes you realise how amazing your own car it. I cant wait to get her back.

Shes getting a repair job done to her rear end at the moment..

Here's a pic taken on my phone today.

To see the pic of my MR2 you need to put 'a r s e' into the gap where the stars are.

OI! biggrin.gif

Worst courtesy car I ever had was a Fiat Punto (cant say the nickname I was gonna put as its a little rude, just substitute the P for a C and you get the idea!)

It was awful - even my Daewoo Matiz was a better runner than that - and it was a new 52 reg one aswell!! eek.gif

Did you look at the picture?

Looks worse than it is!

An idiot in a f**d escort hit the back of me last year, nothing bad but I'm getting it all sorted.. took me a while to get another import back bumper. I'm also getting Toms side skirts like Jimlads fitted at the same time.

All I need to do now is fit my rear lexus lights and wait for that Border front nose!

Come on summer shows!

Crap Cars?

The car i've just bought isn't a courtesy car, just a runabout til i find my celica at the right price.

My girlfriends got my paseo, and i'm running about in this!

its a 1985 1.6 honda accord hondamatic, in crusty white, a stick to hold open the boot, air con (in 1985!), and it cost me 85 pounds.

anyone care to give some opinions, i'm up for a laugh! laugh.gif

Like the 3rd pic down.
Is the light shining from above calling it to the great scrapyard in the sky? biggrin.gif

The Border front is amazing..

Yeah its getting painted and then fitted.. I'll prob have pics next week but I'd rather wait till I fit my back lights and that Border nose.

Still waiting for the 17's off my girlfriends MR2.

yeah... will have some black decals up the side... not 100% sure what tho. Could go really mad and get some sort of yellow decal on the bonnet.

lol.... anyway.. should look good.

Looking forward to taking with the bloke in the bodyshop when it comes nearer the time. He seemed quite excited about doing it ( always a good sign ). He has some mad ideas for the yellow too.
