[Closed] New car looming, who's next for the gnusmobile?

gnusmas · 2019-05-14T08:11:27Z

I was contacted a couple of weeks ago by a forum member (wishes to remain anonymous) asking if I would like a bigger car. They have bought a new car and their old one will be available in a week or two should I want it. After a lot of guilt ridden thoughts (with all the effort involved sorting the gnusmobile and getting it to me), I said yes. I hope no one is offended with this decision. The car is a 2000 silver astra estate. It has mot til next Feb and the only issues with it is the rear wiper and the air con don't work. With this car being bigger I hope it will suit us a bit better and everyone will be able to travel a bit less cramped. Aside from the oil leak (which has gotten worse but keeping an eye on it and topping up regularly) there are no new issues. It has been a joy to own and drive. It has taken us to the peak district and to London, add to that the countless local journeys it has truly been a blessing. Thankyou to you all for making it happen. Only 2 questions remain. Where is the gnusmobile going from here? And what name shall be given to the new car? Thankyou all again for enabling us as a family to have those difficult but memorable trips and for making our daily lives that bit easier.

Thanks molgrips! Really appreciate the effort in getting it to Duncan.

And thanks to the other forum member for storing it for the past few weeks.

Glad it's finally gone to its new owner and hope Duncan's sister makes good use of it.

It's the back section Andrew. Rusted through entirely, no sign of a failed fix.
