Torsten2001 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I bought a £10 set of wheels off eblag last night, alas the nice bloke with the wheels had this: So what could I do? It is my destiny to own at least 20% of the GAZ24's in the UK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Nice work. I had a bid on that, couldn't go to teh reserve price though, cos I got rumbled by SWMBO, who declared it "vile".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 So did I! Thing is I had no idea I'd won some wheels off the same bloke, got there, saw the Volga and negotiaions ensued. The clincher was a bottle of vodka and some strange canned fish thing that my missus loves and that sated her anger and enabled me to own another Volga. I think that I can now safely say that I OWN MORE VOLGAS THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE UK AND I WILL RULE THE WORLD!!!! HAAA HAAAAA HAAAAAA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torsten2001 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 Well I did drive my 1993 Volga, and it drove beautifully, it was being towed behind a Transit through Peckham, a motoring highlight! So Mr B, I'll take everything you got! Got any pre fire photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompei Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 What was the ten quid deal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I see the Datsun has theoretically sold, which should help things? Seem like it will go through OK?Edit: eBay helpfully suggested these as a similar item "BNIP~COSY BEIGE SLIPPERS~FLEECE LINED~VERY SOFT~UK 5/6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 Yes, looks like the Datsun's heading toward Luton on Sunday, seems like a decent fella into his classics so I'll steer him this way. There's another beige Datsun on there at the mo of course but I think that's it for me and later Datsuns and certainly Nissans good cars though they are!Beige slippers? mmmmmmmm, almost as exciting!

So -perhaps -given time.Get back to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
