Managed to get the Miramar ute running, registered and insured

It's temporary insurance for now. Needed insurance to test it on the road. Managed to re-register the original plates and had a little drive down to the train station. It's only got surface rust and a slightly ripped seat to deal with now!

Bought a £12 iPhone 4 and it appears to be an EE internal carrier testing unit!

Got this iPhone 4 and it’s still got all the features that EE used for testing them like the ability in setup.app to repeat activation multiple times, completely ignore updates and a toggle in setup for more WiFi options that allows changes to all parts of a connection!

Fell asleep while watching YouTube and dreamt Matt Rose went extremely famous across the world and ended up on world news because he bought a Vauxhall Astra H 1.6

What are some stupid things someone has said to you in public?

A few years ago I was sitting in my car on the street I lived on with the ignition on listening to the radio and reading the news. A random parson walked up to the car, knocked on the window and I put the window down slightly to talk. They asked if I was a plumber and I said no to which they replied “oh, I thought all jaguar drivers were plumbers”. I was in a Vauxhall Insignia. I have no idea where the thing about Jag drivers came from. What has someone said to you in public that’s just stupid?

Bought this car I found in a field.

Bought another project. Was at my mate's house and while just having a look round the field he also owned next to it I found this in some bushes. It's a Miramar ute EU version. It's not road legal but he let me have it for 400 euros. It's been hidden for at least 45 years so the engine is completely broken at the moment.

How do I activate my iPhone 4 on iOS 5?

I bought this for cheap but I can’t activate it. I don’t want to delete the setup or do a tethered jailbreak as I want to have all the features. It’s an 8GB original 4. I don’t have an EE or O2 SIM card as well and my Sky card blocks 3G.

EDIT: Managed to get it to work. It was just locked to EE.

Update on everything.

Picked up the new car. It's a really low mileage Pessima SX facelifted liftback model from 2003 with 43,473km with all the documents plus 2 keys in perfect condition. Snagged it for 2k. Missing the Bete but it was unfixable. Also put some new wheels and a TTSport spoiler on the ETK.

The AW has had to be scrapped.

Distracted driver in a Vivace smashed into it yesterday. Completely ruined. Even the smaller parts have bits of damage. Me and the other driver are fine. Collecting my new car later! Sad to see it go. Had this car since '93.

Got the issue with the engine in the Aria sorted and fitted a Corse carburetor plus a sport exhaust

It felt extremely underpowered so after I got the issue with the engine sorted I fitted the new carburetor and exhaust that I found on BeamBay for 150 euros together. It's got decent power now and can actually get up to speed limits now the engine is sorted and upgraded.

Just bought this iPhone 4 on what I think might be iOS 5 for £12!

Photos are from the listing. It was £12. I know it’s below iOS 6 but I’m not sure. Think it might be iOS 5. What version do you think it is?

Picked up a new project car from BeamBook Marketplace

Engine runs rough and needs a service but it works. It's an Autobello Aria Elegante I snagged for 1k euros. It's missing a small part at the front and the engine needs a service but it's in really nice condition otherwise. I'll probably fix up the engine and fit some aftermarket parts to it to give it a bit more power. It's got all the documents and 2 keys as well!

(META: Ran out of ideas for the old one)

Hello!

I'm John. I moved from the UK to Poland in 1992 and I'm the owner of an AW Bete an ETK KC4! I bought the AW brand new in 1993 and I currently use it as my daily. The ETK was a project I bought for cheap on BeamBook Marketplace for a project a year ago. It's since been fixed up and cann drive on the roads but is going to have some mods installed and needs a new paint job.
