oldcars Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Has the owner collected this yet? Can't wait to hear his reaction. LightBulbFun and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Has the owner collected this yet? Can't wait to hear his reaction. I'm waiting on him getting back to me regarding collection, I called him on Friday to tell him the good news about passing its mot, if I get the opportunity I will drop it off to him.

D Spares & Tyres Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 what a strange but heartwarming thread. Will this now be an autoshite 'thing'? Crowdfunding the repair of a stranger's car?

loserone Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I don't care about a donation to charity or the forum. Generosity should not require obligation. We've no idea if the owner is in a financial position to do anything, and acts of kindness have a wider impact than just the recipient. Be excellent to each other.

cort16 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 They probably thought “thank fuck” when it failed its mot. Finally we can get that new Kia Picanto we’ve wanted for years , then it gets fixed re mot’d and dropped back at their house. FFS not this thing again Great work, it’s nice to see someone doing a nice thing because they can .

lanciamatt Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Excellent work chaps, I will echo above comments, it's not about money it's about saving a rare car, and even better the guy gets it back, he probably had sleepless nights thinking it was going to scrap or what ever.

Arthur Foxhake Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I watched all of this happen as an outsider, didn't get involved at all, I'm thoroughly impressed with what happened here.Absolute respect to FOAD for giving up your spare time to make someone else happy. I've never seen such a random act of kindness. oldcars, DSdriver, Datsuncog and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got there I saw her neighbor peeking through the bush and generally sneaking about. I met her a while later she said "I used to have one of these, I thought oh god! They (the people who bought it) are bringing it back!" Fair play Foad. chodweaver, LightBulbFun, DSdriver and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
