haha, i borrowed my exs bmw when he had the van in the garage once, parking up out side my mates i drove strait into the concrete bollard at end of parking space

No wonder you are his ex-girlfriend then.

Nice tidy looking Jag Logi. The Alloys really set it off a treat.

he didnt care, and if it was up to him i think wed still be together, he still sends soppy text messages after two years! thinking of putting a profile on a dating site for him and getting him another girlfriend!!

A friend of mine's boyfriend gave her a rough time and eventually cleared off to the Mainland with her car that she was paying for on Finance, leaving her to make the payments. After a lot of hassle she eventually got it back.
So for payback she put him on a Gay dating site. Bit of a "bum trick" but she thought it was a good payback.

I once signed up to a dating site as a girl, see if anyone i knew wanted to shag me

I have always wondered, ever since I saw that pic of you in a kilt! Did I miss something - what happened to the Merc?

Merc still here, just fancied a Daimler as well (and hopefully a Rover P5B if I'm lucky)

Rusty as fuck, so it's not the new toy

Looked good in the pics

But you liked the Number Plate.

This is my winter smoker....

Getting a healthy 22mpg average over the last 5 full tanks of petrol.

That's braw, to coin a good Scots phrase.

Just a tad bit more comfortable than a Hi-Jet then Matt. . In lovely nick too.

Just turned 70k miles, and its had 2 previous owners who were husband and wife, now RIP. Was always garage kept and no expense spared maintained. From a nice big house in a pretty well off area of Cheshire.

1 wheel has a little bit of kerbing, the rubber trim above the doors is perishing, there is a scratch on the passenger rear door, and a small crease of the drivers rear door.

Just MOT'd it and it flew though, and most of the lower arms and upper arms have already been replaced. Brakes have been done recently.

But I did have to put 4 tyres on it They are 255/35/18 on the rear and 235/45/18 on front, and I put the proper Dunlop SP sport decent tyres on it. You could buy a Hijet for a set of tyres for it!!

I no longer drive a Hijet either.... my new work horse is this:-

2006 1.8 tdci with 45k miles and 1 owner from new. The guy has seat covers on it the day he bought it, and he has retired a while back but never sold the van.
