The 365Drills smart car is DEAD. Long live the 365Drills smart car.

OK so after 185000KM the 365Drills smart car is breathing its last breaths.
We do a lot of deliveries into the heart of London as these are great for nipping in.
60MPG. £20 a month to insure. £2.50 a month tax.
But.
1) MOT was iffy. Wont pass another
2) I backed it into a lamp post and smashed the back bumper
3) Someone bashed into me and cracked the other side
4) Someone hit the front bumper.
5) Wipers have snapped on the passenger side
6) No heater
7) No radio

So I THINK its time for a replacement.... And here she is....

RG02 is our replacement.

Our new pride and joy comes to us as an accident write off reduced from £4000 to £1800 and it has
a mere 20,000 miles on the clock compared to the 180,000km of T714

Cosmetically you can see she is showing her age! All those city visits.

Not quite a stone chip is it..... Cant see the bloke from Autoglas putting his resin cup over that one....

And the internals are more workhorse than thing of beauty.

I only hope the cars dont talk to each other..

185,000 miles is'nt bad for such a small car and I've seen it parked, nose forward to the kerb.

At least you didn't blame the women on wrecking it Richard !Its a van you need.

 

[Deleted member 1779]

Yes its a graceful exit. It has served us well !

All our junk in the back.

Gracing the city of London with its presence.

And hopefully

And Hopefully.... RG02 will be a good workhorse too.

Its a bit "top of the range" for us. Comes with a 10xtrack CD player, Retractable roof, Aircon, Heated seats, Right Hand drive,
But for £1800 quid it was a crash damaged bargain.

Think you might want to edit your post Neale :lol: I'm pretty sure its not that many miles!

 

[Deleted member 1779]

Haha this car is looking like more of a workhorse than ever at 1149536 miles...!

Even at 60mpg and £7 a gallon that would be £134,000 of petrol. I would have noticed that....

No I dont think we did a million miles. But we sat in enough London traffic to feel like it was that many hours.

Dunno what you lot are talking about :smilewinkgrin:

[PS: Does anyone want to buy it?] Open to sensible offers.

Good runner. Taxed until

April 2012.

Thats 9 months MOT.

One careful owner. Three idiot owners.

MOT until the same. Slight cosmetic damage to all panels, some actual damage to back panel. Well big holes really.
Genuine miles (or KM). Some service history. Radio removed to prevent theft, reduce weight.
Free graphics worth £90. See and be seen.
Exciting colours. Easy to park. Easy to find again. No accidents where the airbag deployed.
Not on finance. Not recorded.
Slight cosmetic damage to windscreen. Easily repairable by complete replacement.
Wipers repaired with a nut and bolt so working if a little shaky.
