elcome to the first issue of Bangernomics Mag. We really should have done this a long time ago. Never mind, there is no time like the present and we do find that the average car owner is more receptive to the older car than ever. TV programmes have been getting a lot more Bangernomics-like recently and the Lazy Boy Garage is a great example. It features the sort of cars we would buy in a heartbeat. But did we? You will have to watch the show to find out. We have been getting back into the writing game and that's why The Bangernomics Diet is a thing. It will cost just £1.49 for the download and £5.99 for the book. It is aimed at the Bangernomics newbie, so ideal to give to a friend or relative. We love the Burning Men mainly because of the incredible Volvo Amazon which has the starring role and a great reason for watching the film. Please let us know what you want to see in the next issue.

@Bangernomics
So what did we learn from thirty-one months with a cheap luxury car? Well superficially that old, complicated, high mileage cars can be reliable and there is nothing to be frightened of, provided that it is a BMW 7 Series of course. Here is conclusive proof that Bangernomics does work and you don’t need a grim, basic spec 1.0 litre hatch to keep a lid on your motoring costs. Actually the very biggest motoring cost of all is always depreciation and that does not seemed to have happened at all in this case. I did have to buy some tyres and pay for sundries, but nothing major. That’s £13.15p a month. You can stick that in your PCP pipe and smoke it.

SHOPPING BANGER VAUXHALL ASTRA
SPACIOUS BANGER VOLVO V70
For the family, shopping and regular errands then a Vauxhall Astra has it all. The amount of space inside is a huge making it a very practical car with room for five inside. Also the petrol engines are lively and economical so you won’t feel left behind or out of pocket. Being a mass market Vauxhall means that there are loads to choose and cheap to fix.
Because old Volvo estates are easily bought at small car prices. The load bay is flat and wide and with the rear seats folded it becomes a posh van. On the subject of seats you could buy one with optional pull out seats that turn it into a handy 7 seater. The engines routinely rack up huge six figure mileages. Parts can be pricey you can most bits in a scrap yard.
SPORTS BANGER MAZDA MX-5
LUXURY BANGER BMW 7 SERIES
Rear wheel drive, just enough, but not too much power. Yes the MX5 has got all the classic ‘60s sports car ingredients of simplicity, style and value, brilliantly combined with modern car reliability. In short, this is the roadster that started the ‘90s drop top revolution and still dominates this market today. Older examples rust, but very cheap.. Pay from ÂŁ1000.
Well we christened my ÂŁ500 BMW Shed 7 with a car that when new in 1999 cost more than ÂŁ38,000. Not much fell off during our time together apart from an inner plastic wheel arch and exhaust heat shield that corroded through and presented itself on my drive like a dead ferret. Can still be bought for ÂŁ1000, beware suspension and electrical issues.

@Bangernomics
How can we best describe a used car to each other? It is very difficult and subjective because every vehicle is going to be different. However, what if we invented a new currency and called them Bang Quids? That would of course be fun, but it has to mean something and we propose that a car worth a Bang Quid if it has a full MOT. It gets another Bang Quid if it is truly affordable. Another if there is some sort of service history, just plenty of recent bills. It will certainly get a Bang Quid if there are no issues at all. You don’t have to replace the radiator or do anything complicated to make it work. Turn the key and it goes, simple as that. And finally just a few owners to make it a 5 Bang Quid car. Like this rather wonderful Daihatsu Applause.

Lazy Boy Garage
would you buy a used car
from these boys?
Lazy Boys Garage follows three best friends into the world of international car ‘flipping’ where cars are resold for profit - at Roadhouse Motor Co. in Stamford, Lincolnshire. Dubbed ‘lazy boys’ because they don’t leave the garage, motoring journalists Jonny Smith and Tom ‘Wookie’ Ford, and garage owner Tim Glover, hunt down classic car wrecks from across the world to do up and sell for fortunes to international buyers. The team rely on social media and a network of international fixers to aid them in their hunt for valuable vehicles. Bangernomics spoke to Wookie who insisted that we attend their end of series auction and buy one of their imported beauties. 8 Bangernomics.com

Tom ‘Wookie’ Ford talks to Bangernomics Mag about The Lazy Boys’ end of series auction and why we should bid on their fairly spectacular SEAT 133.

alken created the FK510 SUV, a tyre specifically for SUVs. It’s important to use a tyre with the correct load and speed rating and not use an everyday car tyre. Design changes for an SUV tyre include the casing design that ensures precise handling even during sudden load shifts while driving. A more circular casing makes the sidewall more compliant and more comfortable. The FK510 SUV version caters for performance drivers too; the AZENIS FK510 SUV is equipped with Adaptive Constant Pressure (ACP) technology, and has a tyre tread that maximises consistent pressure distribution across the contact patch. The ACP tread increases braking performance, directional stability and overall driving dynamics . More Falken Tyre news in the next issue.

Power to the People Without John Haynes’ brilliant manuals Bangernomics would have been far more difficult to do, if not completely impossible. The sheer genius of the idea and the brilliant execution meant that everyone stood a chance of fixing their car. Haynes finally put the power into the hands of car owners. For that we should be eternally grateful. 22 Bangernomics.com

Bangers on Film PICTURES BY PAUL SHEARSMITH
Amazonfire Young, struggling musicians Ray and Don are evicted from their South London squat. They take to the road in their old Volvo Amazon, planning to sell their prized vinyl record collection and fly to Memphis USA. However, when they fail to get the money needed, they steal a rare Black Metal record which seems to unleash dark forces that threaten their mission. And because there is a Volvo in it we spoke to the vehicle’s owner Paul Shearsmith about what makes it so special and why isn’t it painted? 24 Bangernomics.com
