That's why I cry for my 1990 Volvo 740 GLE every day since I traded her in back in 2006.......😭😭😭

[@paultaylor9652]

Excellent choice of car the Peugeot 309, one of their finest cars. Great video keep them coming.

[@johncallaghan4616]

Brilliant video - Astra Van actually looks well - looking forward to the Pug refresh once you get back from France - safe and happy travels !

[@chriscarroll3204]

Love the videos, keep them coming my man. You've got a very therapeutic deep voice too which makes watching a joy! Ever thought about doing voiceover work? You'd make a mint !!

[@Mambo-lk8nk]

NO MEEP MEEP. I'm devastated, I'll have to go touch my meeper now. Poor Road Runner. That's better than most of my old work vans.

[@simonwoodward438]

That van will come up a treat but very envious of the 309, nice spec and it will be a great daily.

[@jo-anneshort5815]

Love the old 309 had one for years lovely old bus

[@1RebelDog1]

[@andydawkins9640]

They were good vans , I drove a astra max diesel van years ago . That could shift for a van . Love your vlogs mate 👍👍👍

[@davidcassidy1489]

Just subscribed last week to the channel AL love the channel proper English garage keep the uploads coming enjoy France AL

[@stefanallan6377]

Brilliant as a painter and Decorator that astra van project would suit me perfect. We also many moons ago had a 305 estate grd non turbo 1.9 Brilliant vehicle

[@stevehill4615]

Not as bad underneath as I thought it might be for standing in field for 8 years, with some careful remedial work could go on for a few more years, very odd the passenger floor had rotted away but the drivers side floor (with a meadow on it) still looked solid.

[@essbee8028]

The legendary 309 diesel Ran forever

[@brownbag1465]

i know its a year ago and i am still catching up but boy i hope you know how lucky you are living in the equator comparatively to Glasgow if these vehicles were up here you would be lucky to get the badges the rest would fit in a morrisons bag

[@richardm1183]

Heck yes, this is epic, love a 309. Brilliant cannot wait!!

[@rickydub6950]

Love the channel, love the pug 👌 my papa was a Peugeot guy in the 80s and early 90s, starting with 205s after a solara, a topaz blue 90 309 then a 92 Zest 😁 look forward to next vid 👍

[@jackrussel853]

Good cars the diesel Peugeots, i had a 306 D Turbo for eight years, no real issues in that time.

[@Ireland-bc2gx]

Great video mate good to see the old thing running and the Peugeot is a gem🥊

[@astravanmk2]

All standard rot for a mk2 Astra. It looks a lot better than my 88 van. Definitely a good buy for someone.

[@dennispowell7719]

Great video mate looking forward to seeing more enjoy your trip to France

[@vernonmatthews181]

That tyre size 155x13 is still the size of the old HC Vauxhall Viva that used only 4 studs. 4 studs is quite unusual now, most are 5 or 6 stud. Looks like you caught the car in time for a floorpan refurb along with nearside sill. Look forward to the balance of the repairs.🍺🍻🥃👌👍

[@raymondpearce5245]

Love your video keep them coming brilliant

[@PaddyWV]

Ah! The unburstable 1769? We had a Citroen Visa 17D from new in 87. Comfy long distance cruiser.

[@iDayno]

Do like a mk2 astra, well done for saving it :)

[@christineayres7199]

My dad had a 1.3 and somehow got 125mph on the M40 years ago but that was when it was on leaded fuel as cars went faster on Leaded petrol , once my dad switched it to Unleaded it lost 10mph of its top speed , so weird but look at what E10 fuel does to cars nowadays , i cant use it as it makes my car misfire

[@iDayno]

@@christineayres7199 That's impressive, yeah I always run E5 in mine, it's just not worth the risk for the little you save, especially if they're not in regular use.

[@christineayres7199]

@@iDayno Yeah it used to wheel spin in 2nd gear too and In my car I tried E10 and it made it run so rough and my cars a 2007 so not that old in relative terms , The 20p a litre extra is worth it as E5 don’t burn as fast as E10 , seems stupid the govt introduces a fuel that burns quicker so we need to fill up more often , how is that green? 😂

[@simonking7164]

Great stuff pal

[@ciaranboughton4713]

Great vans back in the day my dad had 2 of them

[@Farmerburge]

[@chiefrocka8604]

That disastra done well to last 32 years but you can’t help wonder what lanolin chassis spray would of done to underneath to help it as it looks ripe to me if a keen tester with a big screwdriver started on it
