Six Bottles of Wine has just bought me this

Case of right place at right time and being cheeky enough to ask.

4-door Clio 1.2, around 38,000 miles surplus to the owner's requirements. Another example of the "On my walk" method of acquiring vehicles as per Gibbo!

: n falcon own work

Well pleased

Regards Neil

Wahey, Bargain!

...and kind of ironic.

With such a low mileage and depreciation the "cost per mile" over the life of the car to the previous owners must be astronomical

Reminds me of the chap who bought a man in a pub a pint - & drove home in his Mk2 Zodiac. not that Zodies were worth anything then - but even so

CitroJim · Post by **CitroJim** » 01 Mar 2018, 12:46

Worth a bloody fortune now...

A Zodiac will always have happy memories for me... It was in one I heard Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon for the first time in quadraphonic on a Radiomobile quadraphonic 8-track player

It fair blew me away...

That's a tremendous find Neil

They must be as rare as the old proverbial and the price somewhat bears that out...

And here's the player for it

Shame quaraphonic never really took off.. It sounded magical...

Interestingly, in my CD research I discovered there was provision in the standard for quadraphonic CD Audio but it was never implemented...

I have one quardaphonic vinyl LP and I keep threatening to build a decoder for it so that i can enjoy it properly! Amongst the tracks is the 1812 Overture... That must sound fantastic in quad
