Check this out - Had to pay for restest so cost £48 for the test and £40 for the bits ... on a £295 car.

 

No wonder I am not drinking champagne right now.

It is a good result all-told though.  The car is iconic* on this forum

 

 

I lost far, far, more over 6 weeks of Avantime ownership. 

 

2.0 Turbo pez too, just like this one.  I must be mad wanting tickets for this Satis

 

Ok I did actually own it for 6 months, but only ever got to use it for 6 weeks before it fell over completely and had to be laid-up.  And over those 6 weeks it did numerous FTP, typically on the outside lane of the M1.  The limp mode program on these Renners is potentially f*cking lethal.  Not good for the Wife and young child when they were out in it.

 

Tonight will be keeping fingers crossed.

This one should see 300K I would have thought fairly easily*. 

 

*Admittedly the windows wont work, the central locking will not, the boot will pop open and the dash will be a sea of warning lights

Can't find payment info... 

 

How much and whom to?

I prophesize (sic) that the unlucky winner will be properly in love with it within 1 hour of collekshun. And will maintain a long and healthy respect for the classy, big old boat even after the inevitable divorce and settlement.

 

The only regret I hold as a prior owner is that I haven't bought a slew of tickets.

 

Just saying, like.

I had the same dilemma some time ago but to be fair, Claire absolutely loved it and was genuinely a little sad when it went...

Bloody Hell.

 

I have to explain this to the wife somehow!

Wow love, someone bought me a car! Look, free car...

 

Maybe put some steel toe caps on tonight to be safe?

Excellent... A man that actually wanted it, hopefully the good lady barefoot will as well.

 

Will give it a wash and clean out tomorrow.

 

No rush to collect. Am up in Scotland Saturday at Knockhill in.

Quality reference

 

With greatest regrets I'm having to return the money you gave me to reserve the life-size Pandagirl sex doll you wanted me to bring back from China for you. Sorry for any inconvenience, and I wish you all the luck in your quest for true love. Best Wishes - Alan.

Well done that man. I shall pay my monies no worries. Just trying to get a minute and sort it out.

Did I see this fine steed from the Accrington railway viaduct on Halfords car park?

I am thriled, although the fair lady barefoot is currently expressing a degree of displeasure and has gone to bed early. Then I nearly shat myself when I thought that you lived in Knockhill, Scotland...

You did indeed. Now outside chez Moog.

 

 

 

Can probably deliver it for cost of ticket home next week if that helps?

Congrats Barefoot!

I look forward to seeing this broken down locally.

I mean driving, perfectly and without fault.

Oh Dear, seems like a theme country wide is occurring...............

 

I've only seen this during this evening. Thank God you didn't win it, I would have had to find another hiding place for it.

If I die in mysterious circumstances I think you lot will have some explaining to do when they check my PayPal messages :-)

 

Another masterpiece

 

 

 

I can't stand people who think they are worse off than everyone else. My mate David is brilliant, he lost his voice and both legs in an accident, does he make a song and dance about it? Does he fuck. Here's that fiver I owe you, now stop berating me on social media for what was an innocent mistake, I thought you liked that type of stuff and was ready to come out and tell your wife and kids about our 'friendship'? Maybe not?

Quick update to this thread.

 

I am thrilled to have won this and will be collecting it a fortnight from today.

Sadly I don't have the skill to do live updates, but will bang on a big post with lots of pics of cars, folk, trains, buses and pies when I get home.

The fair wife appeared to be slowly coming round...

I took her out for a conciliatory drink this evening and out of the blue, a lurker on here called sofarsogood, introduced himself and asked if we were celebrating out win!

This was actually a big help, she is seriously over it now and I suspect looking forward to its arrival.

I am hoping I have paid. If not someone is £10.00 better off .

I received it :-)

Can I request a pic of mrs Barefoot doing a very disgruntled Woolard on collection day?
