Optimistic sellers

[F5 Dave]

BSA Bantams, Army Indians, Morris Minors were all just tools, and yet they are popular now cause people have memories.
It's not everyones cup of tea but if i saw a red GS5500EX like my first new bike i'd be very tempted, got way better bikes but did 36000kms in 18 months on it and it was a fine machine, my next bike did everything better but it didn't have that place in my life as the GS did

Mine was a Blue 1980, but 2nd hand as poor. Did very many kms.
Much rather have my RZ back.

I had a Cordia Turbo when they were new do they count ??
Come to think of it I've had a heap of cars and bikes. Like six Mk1 Escorts and 6 Mk two Escort Sports ! I won't do a list just too many !
I was a Mechanic from mid sixties , bought/sold lots. ( I did count the bikes tho.....56 ! LOL.)...
Bet you've had a few Spyda ????

not many cars, and most didn't get another owner, and nothing to speak of, they did a job, thats all

[F5 Dave]

I had a Vauxhall Victor at same time as GS.
GF said she preferred the bike. It really was that shite even as 3.3.

Then a mere 30something years later bought another car.
So, two and counting.

have you seen what they are using on vintage car rallies nowadays, this will fit right in, as long as the heater works

Given that a lot of the membership of the VCC are now in their 70's and 80's I can understand why there are so many going for the more comfortable modern machinery, but still plenty willing to get the older machinery out, 200+ entries for this years Canterbury Branch pre-1932 vehicle Irishman's rally.

For context, anything 30 years old is Vintage Car Club eligible, so our Peugeot 306 cabriolet makes the list next year....

If you still had a running Cordia turbo it would get plenty of interest. The 80's cars are the current machines of interest, slowly catching up with the escalated values of the 60's & 70's machinery that the moneyed up young boomers and older Gen X have outbidding each other for

That's just depressing. Recently I was thinking about Bond, James Bond. I never much liked the movies but did like the books.

Daniel Craig was the first Bond to play him as in the books and not the fucked up comedy fest the others were

Wash your mouth out with battery acid, compared to other offerings of the time the 3.3 was pure excellence

Bollocks. There were heaps of Mitsi Mirages in the early 80s. I can't see anyone getting fizzy about them.
Ha let's check. 3 listings.
Na. Nope. N, um , hold on.

Ok, so is this proof Jelly is depressingly right?
Or is this just another Optimistic Seller?

I guess time will tell on both counts.
. . . Wonder if it has Super Shift^TM?

I see the odd Mirage and Lancer on marketplace that I want. I'd prolly have one as a daily if I hadn't bought a fucking house.

I used to think Dalton wasnt bad in terms of the stone killer aspect but its been a looooong time since I have seen the films. I did play that Goldeneye game a fair bit on playstation

The seller may might be optimistic,

Its a nice bike at a fair price.

But, my God, the description. Where did they get those words? Spin docteur par excellance, we are looking at A1 super-class bovine scatology here

The British cars were terrible, OK mine was more worn out (a mate went to look at it and for some reason I bought it) but they all got rooted extraordinarily quickly because, ironically, they were made out of the shit metal that the jap crap cars were supposedly made of.

That said, the Cordia turbos probably all went up in flames along with their turbos.,
(OK I only heard of one that did that, but I didn't really know car people).
