Gullty Confession Time....

[CitroJim]

I have to confess in case I was spotted...

I'm embarrassed to admit...

Today I laid spanners upon a...

Vauxhall

Oh the shame.

My ebay account is now forever sullied with the purchase of a spare part for same.

[Xaccers]

Oh how could you Jim?
Don't go risking cross contamination by using the same tools on any Citroens!

[CitroJim]

It's OK, I've decontaminated them already

[Deanxm]

got to be worth 30 minutes on the naughty step surely?

[Xaccers]

Maybe a week's suspension from the forum?

[CitroJim]

Maybe a week's suspension from the forum?

Cor That's a bit harsh. A day maybe? If I promise to be good? Please?

[Citroening]

Well at least you didn't drive it Jim...

Please say you didn't?!!

[CitroJim]

Please say you didn't?!!

Oh no, I can promise you I didn't drive it Franklin. I have my pride...

[Xaccers]

Please say you didn't?!!

Oh no, I can promise you I didn't drive it Franklin. I have my pride...

Ok as you didn't drive it we'll let you off

Your not supposed to fix Vauxhalls Jim, you just throw them away when they break!

[CitroJim]

Your not supposed to fix Vauxhalls Jim, you just throw them away when they break!

What? Just for a broken foglamp?

Well, yes. Actually in this case I agree Chris. It's a Corsa D and it's a despicable little thing. I guess that's what the D stands for

[Deanxm]

D? as in a diesel with no Turbo? who would do such a thing it must be glacial.

EDIT, curiosity got the better of me, you would have to be on some serious drugs to buy this car, i take it you know the driver well Jim, does he sniff a lot? dark around the eye's? shakey?..................just asking

Why not, put its owner out of misery early

Dean, I believe the D stands for the model year/shape, Corsa B being the first blob shaped one ... I think!

The 'D' is the current one and perhaps the better looking of all Chorsas

[CitroJim]

The 'D' is perhaps the better looking of all Chorsas

You're joking Chris! It's bloody hideous Best looking (term used in it's loosest sense) Corsa was the original one, the one that replaced the worst car on the planet - the Nova. All since have got worse...

This one has the 3 cylinder petrol agricultural special...

Yes, I know her very well indeed A very old friend. As far as I know she has no drug problems but she's ran Vauxhalls for years. her last was a Nova When it breaks big-time she's planning to replace it with a Citroen C1....

Thanks, I've just spent a pleasant 30 minutes reading up about the 205 on Wiki after looking up what the 205D could do.
Such an excellent little car who's demise along with the 405 killed off Peugeot for me.
15 years without a facelift.
