dollywobbler Posted March 13, 2018 Author Posted March 13, 2018 It's a nice idea, but I've sort-of done that by lining up and blind purchase for the drive home. It is already insured (sadly with Bishop Calways as I need business use on it) so now I just need to hand over the money and drive home, hoping I haven't just bought an utter shitter. loserone and somewhatfoolish 2
beko1987 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Ah well that's good enough then, look forward to the caper!
Broadsword Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Good luck DW. Watching with bated breath as usual. Blind purchases are the way forward. I'm doing one myself on Saturday! cpjitservices 1

beko1987 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Beko - that gumtree challenge results in buying a fucked LDV Maxus. 100% of the time.You did put a valliant effort in, but were severely limited by needing a van! At least you had fun* though, as did all of us watching and helping you along
Kiltox Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 To be fair it was the kick up the arse I needed to buy a proper* van beko1987 1
dollywobbler Posted March 14, 2018 Author Posted March 14, 2018 Given the fact that there might be snow, and that NE Shiters seem generally to be a nice bunch, I'm giving serious though to just stopping over somewhere on Saturday night and driving back rather more leisurely the next day. Would be nice to have a natter rather than rushing off immediately. We'll see what the day brings...

Ian_Fearn Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Saw this and immediately thought..... DW https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/00-W-Toyota-Will-Vi-Automatic-Classic-retro-2695-NOT-2-CV/263513621289?hash=item3d5aa2c329:g:dy0AAOSwx9taj-dJ binbag, egg and madrat 3
loserone Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 I'm in Chester le Street,WW is in north shields,SoC and L1 are Durham-ish.Newcastle holds Mr Savvy And there's a fair few more people nearby too. If there were to be a Saturday afternoon / early evening meet, or even Sunday morning, would anyone attend? Let's say Gateshead-ish, much as I hate the metro centre it is probably fairly central, another option might be if people wanted to take a look at the steampunk stuff at locomotion this weekend, or a trip to look at the North Sea, because it's wet and has fish and chips. Edit: weather permitting, obviously; Yellow weather warning for Friday night for snow / ice.

Four figures? Not with my income!

Steampunk you say? Oh that's it. I'm definitely staying up north for a bit.

loserone Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 So.. since there's a bunch of us, anyone else want to meet up and admire / laugh at the crack in Mo's screen and a 20 year old Toyota?
DVee8 Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 As i'm waiting for SoC to collect the Daimler that's out,so if i could get there I'm on nights it would be in a new heap for you all to admire(laugh)
loserone Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I don't even have an interesting car (unless you count the one [of two] sitting in SoC's yard)
