  1. What I find even more remarkable is that you found two working Marinas at the same time....... :eek:
     
  2. They were new then. The amazing thing was it was an identical car using identical keys, parked in the exact same spot in the carpark, only on the wrong floor.
     
  3. I've currently got TWO fully functional Marinas thank you :)

    Bet half the cars mentioned on here wouldn't still be going when they are nearly 40 years old! :lol:

  4. Functional by Marina standards...you can't fail if you set the bar low to begin with :upyeah:
     
  5. Really??? :eek: Why? :biggrin:
     

  6. It's weird isn't it? Many on here defend Ducatis- ( my mate said why you wanna get an unreliable Duke for??? ) etc etc
    But yet happy to turn! :)
    All I can say is my cars more reliable than my Duke! ( duke-one brake down-Marina none - and done many more miles )
    :)
     
  7. and I spoke to the buyer only last night - did you ever join the (UK) L.M.C. eyore?
     
  8. I like cars but never really had much of an opportunity to do what I wanted with them, for various reasons. My first car was a Datsun 260Z that had a bit of work done to it. Wish I'd hung onto that.

    I'm now driving a Mark 5 GTi Golf that has been tuned (250hp) and I love it.
