nixy Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 dropped the civic off this morning at a local bodyshop for some minor work. Nice guy said he'd lend me a car until mines ready. He'd forgotten his promise and didn't have the keys to the little runaround I was supposed to be borrowing. However, he did have something else that he said was a bit of a beast! The biggest ugliest filthiest 4x4 i have seen in my life! Isuzu trooper - jacked up with a huge space between the wheels and the arches - full of mud, shotgun cartridges, cups of coffee with mould on and tools - he sniggered as I drove away..............just had a right chuckle vision session at the garage putting fuel in - my mate from work had to literally pull me into the car from the passenger side it is so high! Nightmare! Quote
nixy Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 i will take some when/if I get home in one piece! I may also have to park on top of any other cars in my drive rather than try to reverse it! Quote
Jacko Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 i will take some when/if I get home in one piece! I may also have to park on top of any other cars in my drive rather than try to reverse it! Is that what all women do? ha ha ONLY JOKIN! Quote
nixy Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 seriously, hands up to being a woman on this one - I'm still sat at work cos I don't want to drive the beast home! The guy only uses it to go shooting and it shows! Quote

The guy only uses it to go shooting and it shows! Shooting what? is there blood in the back? You sure that he didn't want you to take it just to get rid of some evidence? Quote
nixy Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 oh god don't. It wouldn't surprise me if there was some dead stuff in the back - I daren't look! And the gears - well have you seen the ones on buses? Bit different from my close ratio type R gears - by about 6 feet! I could also do with a rope ladder to get in and out! Quote
nixy Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 monster truck pictures inside and out - would have been better with a person stood next to it or another car to really appreciate the size! Quote
Sarnie Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Sorry. I just re-looked at the pics and actually laughed out loud :lol::lol::lol: Quote
nixy Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 good, cos I'm crying at the thought of driving it until Friday! Those pictures don't even show how bad it really is! Or how big! Quote
Chesterfield Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Thats a joke as a courtesy car - even from a bodyshop. But, a second class ride is still better than a first class walk. Quote
nixy Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 it's a favour rather than a courtesy car - he's doing me a good deal as a trader off a jap car forum I'm a member of. Nevertheless......... Quote
ir_fuel Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Wouldnt you consider a p/x for that car with yours? Quote
nixy Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 I suppose you could have great parties in the back of it! I'd be ok in the snow too. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 You won't be able to wear your glad-rags in that old thing Nixy. It looks more suited to Barbour and wellies. Quote
stuey Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 You won't be able to wear your glad-rags in that old thing Nixy. It looks more suited to Barbour and wellies. or perhaps a grass skirt or bikini..........!! Quote
nixy Posted March 29, 2007 Author Posted March 29, 2007 one of those white forensic plastic suits would be more use! I'm still in it today - it's quite fun! Quote
Jacko Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 one of those white forensic plastic suits would be more use! I'm still in it today - it's quite fun! Ha ha ...... she's coming around to the thing now ain't you Nixy! By the time you give it back, you going to be missing it like crazy Quote
nixy Posted March 29, 2007 Author Posted March 29, 2007 I'll have to remember I'm not driving a bus when I get back in the CTR! Quote
