Man up you southern softies. I'm up in Fife, wanted the calibra RobT was flogging in London, so just flew down and got it.

 

1 hour long flight from Edinburgh airport, and an enjoyable drive back.

 

Same story with the cortina - I bought it from Saltash in Cornwall.

 

Aberdeen and Glasgow are a cheap as chips Easyjet flight away. Can be had for as little as 17 quid.

 

The risk is when you're buying blind at a distance, but shiters tend to be pretty trustworthy in my experience.

 

I've had a couple of cars off kinkersaab (the other jag seller) and he's a thoroughly nice chap.

I've had a 740 from Brighton and a 960 from Bristol, Dave's had a 760 from Brighton, a 740 from London and a 960 from Cardiff, Adrian had a 740 from Norfolk... SVM rules state that it's only far away if it's over a sea.

 

Unfortunately as can be seen above, Glasgow is too close at approximately 9 miles away from CMS_TOWERS and it's not a Volvo, so I'm out.

I'll just throw my Thornaby to London by train, London to Thornaby by Corsa B against the clock mission in to quieten the 'too far away' excuses a little further too.

 

This car is full of cows and trees and the same colour as a strawberry Mivvi, anyone who wants one should buy this one and sort the niggles, it's lovely.

I've already had the fun of owning an XJ40 and not only that, I came out of the experience with my wallet totally unscathed (apart from the 21mpg it averaged during the time I had it), so much as I'm tempted by the posher trim in this one, I know when Karma is telling me to behave myself so I'll decline with a GLWTS.

I can tell any prospective purchaser that it starts first kick, even in proper Scottish summer weather... ;)9K9MX2wl.jpg

I concur - and to think, I travelled all the way from Warrington to Liverpool for Pete's SD1.
