Do people normally do a structural survey after the mortgage one?

There's a liability element involved in such survey choices. You might be paying for the lender's survey but it is only to tell the lender if the property is worth the risk to the lender. If you want to know what a professional thinks about the property, you have to buy your own survey.

I am full of cold and feel like crap but decided to clean the inside of the Corsa ive got, I did warm it up and have the heaters on full whack

 

Took the seats out to do it

 

It was a bit minging i found a half eaten sweet under the seat

 

 

A much nicer place afterwards

 

 

 

To give you an idea of dirt wise this is just from the mats, I didn't do the main carpet because I didn't want it staying damp

 

 

I know it's a cheaper car when I sell it and seems a lot of effort but I like things nice

I’m gonna keep this vague. I sold something on eBay, the guy drove hundreds of miles to collect.

I googled him (don’t judge me) and this guy works for a certain company.

 

If I’d have known he works for X I’d have never let him out of the house as I’d still be asking him questions.

Thank you for welcome! I sold the fox camper about 7 years ago ......it was nice inside as I spent about two years sorting it out I'll try and rustle up a photo to prove its not like a toilet inside. It was quite nippy until you reached a hill, and the handling was a bit wobbly with that thing on its back....I've had a few reliants.....the old reliant garage owner in Chesterfield (woodleighs) said you can always tell a reliant owner and I didn't know what he meant until I met a few more. I have found them all very pleasant , generally with no hair, big grey beards, and no teeth......and I have at least one of these characteristics unfortunately

I'm going to guess he works at ATOS

I disn't think ATOS was a place!

 

I just spotted a text on my phone, it says "hi, what was that all about, lol." It's timed 12:28 yesterday.

 

I bet you can guess who!

Someone turned up this morning to buy the Megane 1 cabrio seats I have for sale. He turned up in a Megane 1 cabrio. Thus began a game of car interior tetris that will probably be unrivalled.

This was one of his I imagine?

 

1984 Reliant Fox - Westlegate, Norwich by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr

 

Has probably been discussed on here previously, but as this photo is from 11+ years ago I can't 100% remember.

Yup, that's the chap.  He's had that one for ages - I started renting the garage in 2003 and he already owned it then.

I just found an object I made years ago; a wooden mock-up of a mobile phone I was considering buying. It's a grin because at no point during making it did I wonder about my own sanity.

A couple of local lads are doing the 4L Trophy next year. They turned up at my local bar touting for sponsorship and flogging 4L trophy trinkets to raise funds.

For those not aware of the 4L Trophy it's a charity event where students have to take 50kg of school supplies to somewhere in the arse end of Morocco.

Their van is in superb condition, I hope it returns in one piece.

I wonder what'll happen when they run out of Renner 4s ?

What would it's successor be ? The Twingo ? I don't think that would cope with the Moroccan desert so well.

Up the M11 I had a tail of a late red fiesta, then we approached and over took another late red fiesta, then what came down a sliproad? Another late red fiesta... Seriously man, it was like being followed by the red arrows! I'm sure they even done a two lane formation too.

Then I saw another late red fiesta coming the other way and I started feeling a bit freaked out so toed it out of there.
