Pashley26 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Described as "clean body, good paint work" - I could fit my hand through one of the rust holes, and half the car was different colour to the rest. Also, the steering was loose and sloppy, and the gearbox was well f**ked, it hated 2nd.It was SO fun though. Same again today ? No jokes, if that was my groundhog day I'd be so happy. I got to see Allen, I saw a dalmation with a pink face, I hugged a chicken, I got to drive along in sunglasses and a silly hat, I got to work out that some people are complete pricks, I found out Loughborough is full or broads, I learned how many f**ked engines you can fit in one garage, and that it's pretty grim up north.So I get there right (about 4 hours one way), looking a bit . And the guy's like "It drives brilliantly, the body work's had a bit of attention, but its only a one previous owner car, I've got a mint interior (that was the wrong color and year!) for it, and it's solid as a rock. I've done 50 miles in it so far and I even got it up to 70 at one point! Only 106K on the clock."I was like....OK then, lets get this interior out then (That was only a ploy so I could see just quite how rotten it was). Top of the rear wings ? f**kED, boot floor ? f**kED, inner front wings ? f**kED. And it had OBVIOUSLY been clocked. My last 99 had hundreds of K's on it and it was mint, the interior was like new and it was solid as a rock. That cost me about £400, which shows how much his shitter was. Then I said to him, "Well, it's not what I expected. It was photo'd very deceptively, and the gearbox is nailed. Lets get a seat back in it and I'll take it for a spin before we go any further." And the cheeky fanny says to me "Well, your 900's not exactly the best. You didn't say the petrol cap was blue, and I sold a full pressure turbo that was better than that for £500." I didn't *really* need any more encouragement from that point on to not do the deal.So I took it out for a spin and slyly took my phone with me. As soon as I put it into second gear the deal was over. If only we had of brought Allens maiming knife. And is it not REALLY obvious in this photo (one of the ones from the advert!) that the petrol caps blue ? The worst bit is he had a Scarabe Green 9000 up there he was breaking, so he had a petrol cap for it anyway !?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 To be fair it isnt that obvious its a blue petrol cap...Although he does sound like a bit of a dick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I like it, I think the blue fuel cap takes the attention away from the rest of the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 It actually looks quite nice in the picture..I spose you only got that one picture? That alone makes cars seem dodgy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
