got one at last...

[problemchild1976]

well, they say everything happens for a reason and i am a believer.

1 week after the "ordeal" in accrington, we started looking at other forfours for my dad and came across this one that wasn't on autotrader, pistonheads or ebay but came across it on preloved.

I though my car had a high spec but this one has EVERYTHING

still a 1.3 passion but with the following extras

Electric sunroof
BRAB side skirts
BRAB wheels
BRAB rear valance
BRAB rear spoiler
BRAB exhaust
BRAB suspension
BRAB handbrake, gear knob, pedals
Sat nav
MultiFunction steering wheel
Sound upgrade
Arm rest
Parcel shelf
Rear Screen blind
Bottle holder
Dash net
.....and i think thats it

anyway....some pics!!















its recently been used as the daily run around car at chelsea fc..

there are a few little bits that i need to do for my dad on it like remove the towing system (its been towed by a camper), one of the rear seatbelt units is broken, needs a towing eye cover, needs a new air filter and a good clean so going down to see him on the weekend - wahoo!!

and the good news is he loves it.

when he gets bored, i'm defo gonna consider having it off him.

That car will have been very well looked after in it's early life. It was owned by Ernie & Shona Mellor over on thesmartclub.

Re: got one at last...

Yeah - someone else mentioned that

It does look like a lovely car and off to visit dad on Friday to rip it apart!

Shame it has lost its BRAB front spoiler at some point - probably to do with the motor home tow hitch!

Nice! Also great to know of previous owners, hopefully they can give you some info and possibly help to locate the errant spoiler?

Re: got one at last...

This was Jace forfour previously also ..... Suggest check the brabus suspension you think you have as were installed with SW Greenline.... It's actually lower than a Brabus forfour!

shona or ernie

I don't think they have been on there for a while though. They are major peeps in tsc so you will find them on the club stand at Brooklands no doubt.

Wonder how it ended up at Chelsea football club and only covering 4000miles in 2 years.

Re: got one at last...

Yep = Ernie!! Have to say though it was always Shona that posted on the "Orange Site"

What's with the OLD orange site - still there and very well supported as everyone who went to smartimes Antwerp will know. Such great acknowledgement for the www.thesmartclub.com from Dr Winkler = Mrs smartimes

Anyone know what their username was on the old orange site

Re: got one at last...

thanks - Jace has a PM

its used to be orange and now its white. So it used to be lovingly called the orange site but now its just thesmartclub

had a look through loads of posts but its mainly chat from the owners and no technical/mod info.

Maybe it was Malouda or Drogba's london run about ? Must be cheaper to use than the Lambo's & Porky's
