breakdown truck
Re: breakdown truck
Yes Rich, I could have found a use for that with no trouble at all, especially as I have access to a low mileage 3-bearing MGB motor and its accompanying Borg Warner autobox.
Realistically though, it's too far to go for something in need of TLC so no doubt I'll find something else to waste some of this Month's domestic budget on. Possibly something of a similar shape though, I do love an old van.
197Kms is a long schlep if it turns out to be rotten though naturally, I would always reimburse a chap for the gallon and a half of cheap French veggie oil that the trip would involve
. Thinking about it, I'd stand the racket for an overnight stop too if something that simply couldn't be ignored cropped up in France. No minibar mind, that would be taking it too far.

You want to go for a thug in your neighborhood, your favorite pastime is to scare grannies, you want to ride like a moron by not respecting anything, your scenic diesel with wide rims and stickers flamming not enough an illusion?
The solution is a rogue black béhème eud of course! It is 1984 AD or 52 after Jacques Chirac. No it is not the same as the common but Mesrine French there hoodwinked.
528 mean spirited pony power, the equivalent of 184 horsepower vaporized.
I meaning the 6 cylinders I, therefore one behind the other, unlike the D version which cylinders are in disorder.
It is a 7-speed gearbox, including 5 reports to go before, 1 to go back and 1 to go nowhere.
It has 4 doors opening to suit your desires to enter or exit.
Inside there are cloth blue seats are much more comfortable than the black.
For penguins management is assisted and pressing one of the 8 buttons provided for this purpose one of the 4 windows up or down.
Given that this is still a car trunk nasty is large enough to fit a normal body size or 2 size ridiculous.
Stuff black rubber around the wheels to the 4 corners of the car are not old or even recent. So they can do much of black marks on the pavement and smoking during startups "djeuns" following a robbery.
The receiver who gets parts in the clutch when you press the left pedal (no I'm not talking about Bertrand Delanoë) is new.
The glove box is large enough to hide your gun and 2 boxes of 9 mm.
On one of the photos you can "see" an example of posture and draws to adopt for a perfect symbiosis between rider and vehicle sublime. A perfect compromise between union thug and head slaps.
The flasher unit has been changed but I do not know why, since everyone knows that béhèmistes never put their arrows.
Painting would need a refresh to hide the bullet and friction with other vehicles of the constabulary.
I do not offer exchange against a bathtub or a pair of vintage roller skates. Possibly against an AMX or Leclerc who planned the attack on the Bank of France in eight days.
The gray card (printed this morning on my new Canon) is my name and normal (ie paper).
The liquid they dare call adulterated fuel is not filling index ninety eight. This magnificent flagship of swallows about 11 liters per 100 000 meters.
Worse who cares when we y'en more calls.
Control technique is OK (with a generous donation to good works Controller technique).
The price is 2399 euros in French real money or 5287 euros in Bulgaria.
You can always try to negotiate but remember that the trunk is big, very big ...
PS: Some details are verified.

Poor roller. €10k must be 5x what something with that amount of damage is worth.

Goppingly fugly, more so than the Ambra IMHO. Why so many people gave up perfectly sound Reliants for these Ligiers and other heavy quads is beyond me.
