For Fiats Sake Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Note under the windscreen wiper? Probably gone on a giffer goes wild AWOL trip to see something gifferous. Or shaking hands with St Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssDeeWon Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 One of the neighbour's will know which house it belongs to. Thing is it could of been sat there for over a week and the owner gone on holiday / giffer coach trip for a few days. I would try one of the neighbours, most probably someone will know the old boy and know of his where abouts. Hope his alright.

inconsistant Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I bet the owner's down the local park daubing his/her walking stick in dog shit ready to beat off all the buyers. Pillock, Cavcraft, Vince70 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince70 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 It's time for a note under the wiper..So I've just written a little note and will put it on the car later when I pop into town.If that doesn't work then I think it's time to get the Megaphone out and walk up and down the street till someone appears lol egg, Six-cylinder and trigger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Yes! Got through to them at 8.00 this morning, collecting it Saturday and got them down to £80. Getting a lift off my lad, hope the weather stays nice for some topless motoring coming home. Just joshing with you, tried to ring them last night so I could pass details onto 6C but just went to answerphone.

Vince70 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 I've just been down and put a note on the car and first off I put it in a bag under the wiper then thought someone might throw it away so I thought I would be clever and slid it between the roof rubber and drivers window. The only problem was I noticed someone else had also done the same thing but I wasn't sure if it was one of the autoshite surveillance team. But on the good side at least we are not the only ones who can't get through to the seller.As you can see the seats are more grey than beige.I also had a chat to nice old boy at the top of the road who was cleaning his Lexus to see if he knew who's car it was but he didn't have the foggiest idea who it belonged to. purplebargeken and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngarty Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Its probably one of those American type crime shows called bait car or something.The first one of you to try the doors will result in 25 armed plod jumping out of a nearby blacked out transit, followed quickly by a good kicking and a 20 years to life sentence in the pen.

Vince70 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 No it wasn't on the car yesterday morning..But another Autoshiter has also put a note on the car for Chris under the wiper blade but that one has been removed by someone so it's only got the two notes on the car but I didn't want to do the dirty and take the other note out the window which someone had put there.

Cavcraft Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 First rule of car buying is to eliminate the opposition. Either go back and remove the other note, or text them saying it's your car and you've sold it now. inconsistant, gadgetgricey, Laseraligningfoofooflanges and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Fiats Sake Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 This thread has mystery of Hitchcockian proportions! Where is the seller? Who is the other note leaver? Why does anyone bother to advertise a car and not answer phone? Has anyone noted position of the valve caps to see if the car actually goes anywhere? I'm hooked!

Six-cylinder Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 As much as I would like the car, what will be will be. My friend who has one says it will be a mayo prone car so we are not even sure yet it is any good. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssDeeWon Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I've tuned in tonight for the next instalment but the plot thickens.

Insideimsmiling Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Had a couple of these and they are a lot of fun but also practical with good amount of space in the rear and a decent boot. They are more solidly built than an Escort cabbie and minus the scene tax too.......very much would. tapir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegod Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Been thinking about this, whilst removing the other note would not have been good form,I however, would most definitely have wrote yesterdays date on mine and today's on the other.

Vince70 Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 I've just had a look at the car today and all the notes have now gone from the car and the for sale signs have been removed although the car looks like it hasn't moved..So did the car go to an autoshite member in the end.?
