Whoops I've done it again!

[Torsten2001]

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!

[pogweasel]

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"....

[Torsten2001]

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!

Torsten, you're my hero I've done the stupid Communist car thing with some Tatras, what's it like running a Volga?

[Torsten2001]

Cheap!!!! I've never had one running!

[michiel]

Ha! That last comment made me laugh out rather loud. Well done!! (buying that Volga that is)

Hey mate -congrats. I had one of those -lost it in the barn fire -still got most of the paperwork -I think -if you were to need it (??!!!)Mine wasnt as nice as that -good luck! They are awful to drive!

[Torsten2001]

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?

[pompei]

What was the ten quid deal??

[Spottedlaurel]

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"

[Torsten2001]

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!

[nigel bickle]

Ok mate- I'll have a rummage for the docs. Pre fire photy-s -possibly but I suspe ct they are 35 mmm rather than digital -and will be consigned to a BIG box in the loft... So -perhaps -given time.Get back to you

[Torsten2001]

thanks Mate!
