The Goat gets new wheels...

Hey hey, I have been a fan of old motors for years due to the fact that I have never been able to afford a new one....heh

Anyway as I hike around I need wheels as well as me hoofs and would die a death if I didnt have them, so the Ford escort that has taken me to John O'groats and back twice, to the lakes loads all over Wales and up and through all of the UK's highest mountain passes including Applecross in Torridon Scotland and Rhinos Pass...yeh that was a pant shifter for sure....and remember it is a 16 year old boy with 129,000 miles on the clock, but the MOT of 2007 has stopped it in it's rusty tracks so I have had to say a tearful farewell to it....but it was a bag of sh*t so I dont feel that bad about it....bring on the new posh banger !!!
Here it is though being loaded up on to the death truck.....2 hours left before crusher time baby...


Bye Bye....old freind it was good eh......
But now I can look forward to trashing my new (Posh banger) in the form of a 1998 1.6 Fiat Brava with only 61,000 on the clock and with a full MOT Thats a first for a start...at a snip at £500 notes none to shabby i'd say....



Take a look at those feminine lines and the growling undertone.....oh bolllocks to all that at least it has brakes the Escort didnt......


£500 notes no more....awesome...
Anyway after driving this gliding sensual beast of a car for about a fortnight I am truly convinced I have got myself a bargain and so have invested in it.
I have had the Cambelt and tensioners done on the car to hopefully secure me another safe 50,000 miles of driving, at a cost of £200 notes mind you - shocking these mechanics eh....
Whats that noise.....ka clunk ka clunk........shit !!!!
