Believe it or not, the red Jimny is mine. eeek:

It was a cat C right off early on this year. Looked a great deal worse than it was tbh. Runs perfectly now






...and as it is now, but before the graphics were installed:





Just waiting for the winch to be fitted now.

It is indeed.

I was bloody horrified when i first saw it in 'the yard' back in February. eeek:
Covered in shite, broken glass and open to the elements.
No mechanical damage, and it was driven into the yard apparently.
 Seperate chassis was/is straight.


Still finding the odd fragment of glass even now though.
Runs perfectly and passed all the stringent applicable tests.

22k on a 54 plate.
1 owner from new (Durham)
Woman.You might have known ey! ::)

I can't remember the Registration of my current car let alone any past ones.  ::)

I do still have my Red Driving Licence though. ;D
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

So do I.
WITH all the extra pages stapled into it for the endorsements that I received for all my bad driving habits back in the 60's. Still can't believe I was never banned tbh.
Currently still got the green fold up paper version...and it's clean. cloud9:

That's what I reckon ;)


Honestly though, I don't really know. I don't get involved in it as it can only lead to him being in a strop and saying I know nothing about it. Which I don't so that would be fair.

I nearly killed a motor cyclist on my driving test. Tester chap said at the end, "Do you have anything against motor cyclists Mr Nick?" Still passed though.
