RIP my 307 estate

[ben76]

Well as I previously posted about changing my car (still waiting for the cash to replace it apparently should be any day now)

The car I had was a 307 estate and had transported many a cab about, a few I remember off the top of my head...

Rad Mobile,
SCI,
Spy Hunter,
Leisure 2000
Nintendo cocktail,
Riley's Likkle cab
Getaway pinball,
South Park pinball.

There
will most likely be more. It has also been to NERG a couple of times,
Play Expo, Play Blackpool, Revival, 8 bit flip, RGP, arcade club/new
frontier opening event and more....

Anyway please raise a glass
to the old girl who went to the scrappers today after the gear box went
last night. I know it could have been replaced but there were loads of
other faults and it will be replaced soon so the fairest thing was to
put her out of her misery

RIP

- Ben

Yea it's no easy when you've had a car a while, mine's gonna have to go in the next few months. Parts are failing and they're surprisingly expensive to replace on that bloody thing! Had it 8 years, feel like it's part of me.

A C-Max will be nice, good size for cabs and for getting the family in (probably not at the same time)!

The old girl did well. I'm still surprised that wheel held on with 1 bolt kept going so long!

Don't think Moe wanted to lend me her car.... Today as a temp solution we got this....

but those where the best nokia they ever made!!!

good luck with the car

just repaired one like that had a broken timing belt(something you wanna check)

The timing belts were notorious for failing on the 2.0 petrol models, not sure about the 1.8. Worth a look if you're keeping it for a while though.
