Tell me about your favourite swaps

[Jonny69]

Back in September old Grandpa69 sadly passed away and I inherited his car, a Mk1 Fiat Uno. This evening I did a little swap with an RR member.

I swapped this:

for a bit of this:

and this:

The happy new owner is driving it up from South London to Leeds via the Ace Cafe as we speak and the oven is on cooking my pie.

I call that a worthy swap. Tell me about yours

 

[paradigm]

You actually told him that you would sell it for £120 and a pie?



Genius.

 

[flat-6]

Is an F plate Uno retro now?

 

[Alex UK]

Did you actually ask for a pie?

Is an F plate Uno retro now?

Not yet, get some "banded" steelies on it, and some godawful drop in ride height, and it will be close.

Needs more rust first.

When I saw the Uno I was hoping to see you'd put a Hayabusa Turbo engine in the back.

Still, £120 and a Pie, great!

 

[neil-ste]

I want pie. I have no Uno to swap

Is an F plate Uno retro now?

Of course its retro - there is no such thing as a banger anymore, a car goes from being 'a car' to 'retro' and misses out the banger phase entirely.

You can also fit turbos to them, slam them into the weeds and fit some coilovers and they'll out handle an Integra Type R.

It's 20 years old and it's made a good cheap reliable runabout for a student

Did you actually ask for a pie?

Damn straight I did. There were 3 but the fat git ate the others before they made it down south

The happy new owner is driving it up from South London to Leeds via the Ace Cafe as we speak and the oven is on cooking my pie.

I bet you enjoy the Pie more than he enjoys the trip in that thing! - Why via the Ace Cafe? did the Pie make him hungry?

 

[Jonny69]

Aaaah there we go...

Nice unhealthy dinner is served

Shame I'm dry at the moment, a beer would really go well with this

I bet you enjoy the Pie more than he enjoys the trip in that thing! - Why via the Ace Cafe? did the Pie make him hungry?

He's going to stop off for some dinner plus there's something car related going on there tonight. Easier to do when you're already down south

Bet you wish you negotiated better?

First, I notice your picture of your served pie still includes the tin, try not to eat that its a bit hard & tends to cut your mouth to bits - or is that what you mean by unhealthy?

I must try Money as a side dish with pie & chips.

As for the Ace cafe, when is there not something automotive related going on there?

 

[Jonny69]

Nah, this is deliberate punishment! Useless fact: It takes 15 minutes to demolish a Fray Bentos pie with mash and post about it on two forums

About 4 years ago, I swapped this:

for this:

A T reg Fiesta Zetec in decent nick swapped for an E reg Land Rover 90 TD.

I was happy, she was happy, the missus nearly had a heart attack!

 

[kaiowas]

I swapped this:

For this:

 

[matt100]

STOP!!!!

you need chips, and beer, and pie out of tin.. then you've found nirvana.. made all the better by not having an uno and having £120!

genius.. I must ask to be paid in pie more often.

 

[Scania]

I swapped my e38 for £2200 was not too happy, but, its what the market (i.e. Autotrader) dictated similar examples were going for.

 

[Lashout_UK]

Never really swapped anything

a truly well bartered deal, anything with pie involved increases the quality of the sale many-fold
