Finally, some photos.
I realise I forgot to mention that it was debaged and dewipered, with metal printed number plates. Interesting stuff.

Yes, I had just had it washed so don't expect this level of cleanliness upon collection.

Cheers, fella!

It's a lot of machine for the money. Seems insane that 20 years ago, my family wouldn't have been able to afford one and now I'm selling one myself for basically no money at all. Weird, but I guess that's how those things work.

It's actually £315.00 this year according to the VCA.
It is a lot of money, but it's early emissions testing, 2.0L engine and unleaded fuel.
Still, you're basically paying nothing for the car so it's not much in comparison.

To be clear - Ideally, I want to cover costs of the last service / MOT, but being that I can get £99 for it being scrapped, I'm willing to take as little as £100. I would just rather it lived on, even for a little time and provided someone with a nice summer trip or something. It's a great car that simply feels like a waste to scrap, when it might give some joy.

Thanks for the interest, everyone and for your support @jonny .
Reg number available via PM if you want to check the insurance costs etc for yourself.
VED is around £250 p/a, I think.

Selling my estate shed on here, incase anyone's interested:

NOW SOLD!

Hello all,

I am speculatively selling my beloved chrome hearse, a silver 2001 Passat Estate.
I say speculatively because I am currently waiting on the arrival of a new vehicle and I can't be completely sure when it will arrive - though I expect it'll be 4-6 weeks.

The vehicle in question has done almost 190,000 miles in its 18 year life and has all the marks and scars to prove it. As such, I offer it here more as a sacrifice than a gift. Unless someone is interested in throwing their bikes in the back and living the rad-dad lifestyle, she'll be off to the scrapheap in the sky.

As such, I'm only asking £200 - just enough to cover the cost of her last service/MOT that took place in March.

A few details:

• Reflex Silver
  
• 2.0L Petrol
  
• Full service history
  
• Electric Windows
  
• Missing trim
  
• ULEZ compliant!
  
  
  

In the last 18 months or so, I've added:

• New touchscreen stereo (it's crap, but has bluetooth! - April '18)
  
• New front brake discs and pads (July '18)
  
• New coolant tank (August '18)
  
• Steel rims (December '18) - Alloys were degraded
  
• DS rear light cluster replaced (Jan '19)
  
• A load of stickers in the back windows
  
  
  

This is a shed. As such, the steering is a little wonky, the engine light is on and the suspension has seen better days. I honestly believe though that you could spend a wonderful summer with it as your campsite companion and never have any trouble at all. If that sounds good to you, feel free to register your interest.

In the meantime, I'll give it a clean up and try and get some updated photographs taken. Here's an old one to be going on with.. look, see, it's a car!:

SOLD

All the best,
Tom

I'll offer £100...?
Though you really ought to have a price on there.

EDIT: Oh.. just spotted it. No, thanks.

Velo orange bars?

And big up Jah Tim

Let's get it, baby! Beer!

I cycled to the Humber from London once with a section of the route burner from London-Edinburgh-London.
A more detailed search might find more for you, but there's some parts of the route here: https://ridewithgps.com/events/18751-london-edinburgh-london-2017#routes/23461128/preview
Maybe that would be a good start? Although in my head, you've already ridden that.

@giofox seems to have the right idea with Angel2Angel.

REPLY TO A POST FROM A MONTH AGO?
DON'T MIND IF I DO.
PRETTY SURE THIS GUY WAS "ON HERE". ALBEIT, HE LIVED IN LONDON.
HE WAS ON THE SPIRAL RIDE OF... 201...3? 2013? JESUS, WAS IT 2013?
ANYWAY, EUGENE'S MATE. WHAT WAS EUGENE CALLED ON HERE?
WHERE IS EUGENE NOW?
WHAT A TOP LAD.
ONCE SERVED ME A FULL MEAL AND VODKA IN HIS KITCHEN.
I WELLED UP.
WHERE'S CROP?

F O R C E D R A T

YOU THERE! Who are you?
Thanks for the DAS. I didn't do one because it felt a bit sketchy but I hope you appreciated my twiddly hand movement in its place.

That's lush

what year was it when we all joined critical mass one friday? was that 2010? forum third birthday? jesus wept

making me feel a mixture of nostalgia and sadness that i didn't join in more with stuff in the early days. do remember making and giving out those guaranteed forumenger (531) stickers a lot. also burrito ride, spiral ride and some stuff at night which has all blended into one. s/o joe ts, tibbs, skully, hats, laner, dimi et al. everyone was always so nice and so often nerdy x

Is this Tibbs?
Could also be Candyman, or the other bloke who said Hello that I didn't really have chance to recognise about 5 minutes earlier.
I'm going Tibbs, though. Final answer.

Can't afford to right now owing to recent bike purchases and upcoming holidays, though it is a helluva bargain!

Love it

I wonder how this forum ever got the reputation of being full of clever sods, eh!

My next tip for investment would be 14BikeCo ESB, if you wanna shortcut this nonsense.

Like, a thousand quid extra cash? Brave

Alright, deal. £50?
