Stick with me here Matt, yesterday I sent my Mrs a link to a car my dad is looking to get. She messaged me back saying it’s got like three different tyre brands fitted to it!! Asked her what made her notice that and she said that hi guys welcome back bloke🤣🤣. They listen to everything

You are 100% right about Scottish cars. I’m a mechanic and I live in Argyll. My car is 30 years old, and until a couple of years ago it spent its life around north London. It’s cleaner underneath than most local cars over about 6-7 years old

@2DogsVlogs Ай бұрын

My car came from Yorshire and within 6 month living in Aberdeen the amount of rust it had was surprising. I rarely washed the thing as I just needed a beater and paid £1100 for it. The rust was easy to look after. Nothing that a wire brush and a spray can can't fix. I am looking at a new car but there isn't much around locally that's much good.

Also, and don’t know if you’ve noticed this too, Scottish cars aren’t as well equipped as southern cars.

I'm from Scotland and you're absolutely right about Scottish cars. However, any registration with a 'P' or above, after the S, means its been registered in Dundee or North of there and will be especially bad due to the even colder, and saltier climate than the Central Belt. All my cars have spent the majority of their lives in England although one is aluminium which is great.

Making the comparison, here in Japan, if you just need basic transport, pick up a Toyota Probox wagon at auction, assuming you have a mate with auction membership. Unless it's a diesel you won't pay more than 100,000 yen (essentially 500 pounds), plus unavoidable auction charges. The Probox (great name) is the car to put a junior salesman on the road. The street cred of a Safeway shopping trolley, but essentially basic transport assuming it has some shaken (MOT). In Japan the Shaken last for two years and includes road traffic act insurance.

I agree Matt, bought a Fiesta from Glasgow 5 years ago, one previous owner and 55k miles but lived up there for its first 11 years. I didn’t expect to still have it, had my car written off and needed something quick. Was raining obviously and it was parked on a main road so kurb meant I didn’t look underneath. It’s far worse than the same car it replaced of the same year but that was Cumbrian and much higher miles. Lesson learned and won’t do it again or take something to kneel on to inspect. Sprayed it underneath with hydraulic oil on its first MOT with myself and then did more wire brushing and rust treatment in following years but suspect it’s time is limited
