Good day me old China, Arthur Daley here, star of the classic TV show Minder.
Since that programme went off the air many years ago, I’ve been retired from the old car lot/dodgy caper business, but ‘er indoors is sick of me pottering about all day, so I’ve now spied a nice little earner in the used video game car industry.
I’ve opened a little virtual car lot in cyberspace, and I’ve got quite a few nice little motors available.
Crazy Taxi:
First up we have this nippy taxi. It’s only had one fairly careless green-haired owner who had his taxi licence revoked through overly reckless driving. There are quite a few scratches on the paintwork, but all in all, it’s in great condition considering the punishment it took from the previous owner.
It’s an open-top car that comes in a bright shade of taxi-yellow, has plenty of room in the back and can hop when you press a special button on the dashboard. It’s especially good at getting through traffic, and even if you disobey all the known traffic laws, the old bill never seem to be around to catch you.
Price: £8,500
Infernus:
You’ve seen Miami Vice right? Well take this beauty for a spin and you’ll feel just like Crockett & Tubbs (designer stubble, no socks, big sunglasses and pastel jacket with sleeves rolled up is optional).
Reported to be a stolen motor from Vice City (wherever that is), but I think it’s pretty kosher, it has a few minor bullet holes in the side which will be easily hidden with a bit of papier-mâché and paint, and is was rumoured to have been used in countless drive-bys, hit & runs, bank robberies, protection rackets and more dirty deeds. I wouldn’t really worry about all that though.
It’s only had one careless Hawaiian shirt wearing owner, and the car was used and abused, and then abandoned.
This motor is guaranteed to be a hit with all the virtual laydeez you may encounter on your trips in cyberspace, and it was a great stereo system built in with many great 80’s tunes.
The leather upholstery will require a bit of cleaning, as there’s a dodgy looking white stain on one of the seats, and my old mucker Terry refused to clean it off.
Price: £100,000
Trans Am:
Here we have a genuine talking car! Calling itself KITT, it claims to be the property of one Michael Knight, a young leather jacket wearing bouffant haired loner who’s apparently “on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent the helpless and the powerless in a world of criminals who operate above the law”, and who apparently “does not exist”…hmmm. If he does not exist, then I’m sure he won’t mind me selling his car.
The car has plenty of cool gadgets, such as the usual turbo boost, oil slicks, electric windows, beverage cup holder, etc, plus a nice cool bonus is that it can even drive itself, ideal for when you want a little snooze at the wheel. If you can put up with the stuffy know-it-all voice, it’s a great car that is especially good at driving through thin wood and glass, and over ramps.
It also come with a special service guarantee; drive it into the mobile base lorry and meet Devon who’ll offer you repairs, refittings, and disclosure of ‘vital information’.
Price: £125,000
Spy Hunter G6155:
Starting out as a flat 2d vehicle, but has recently had a nice next-gen update, this car is ideal for those who want to sample the James Bond way of life without having to wear a tuxedo. It has oil slicks, smoke screens, and machine guns, plus, if you’re in need of some extra speed, it can turn into a motorbike, or if you get board of travelling by road, it can even change into a speed boat as well! It’s kinda like a cross between Roger Moore’s Lotus in The Spy Who Loved Me and Michael Crawford’s car in Condorman, and it goes from 0-100 Mph in under five seconds.
If you decide to have the Gamecube version, it will be quite jerky, so choose wisely.
Price: £250,000
Mafia Thor 819:
This highly impressive vintage car from the 1930’s city of Lost Heaven is a must have for any classic car collector. Like the Infernus, there are a few bullet holes in the side of the vehicle due to the previous owners unlawful activities, but once repaired by a stammering mechanic, the car is an absolute corker. Again, the leather upholstery in the back seat will need a bit of a clean as there’s what appears to be a large dried blood stain on there, possibly the result of a mafia job gone wrong.
Price: £90,000
Mario Kart:
This nippy little go-kart is a fantastic little racing machine for people of all ages. The price is a little high due to it being once owned by a famous video game character, but don’t let the price tag put you off, for that money you get to sit in the seat where Super Mario sat his seat. The kart can travel well over all types of surface, from normal tarmac, dirt roads, wooden paths, and even desolate chocolate wastes.
The kart has some minor banana skin residue in the tire treads, and some red shell damage to the rear, but apart from that it’s in tip top condition.
Price: £1,000,000
If you’re interested in any of the motors, drop me a line on the old dog & bone, come down to the car lot, or you might find me at my dodgy lock-up, Terry’s flat or scamming drinks from Dave at the Winchester Club.
