Jim Bell Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 With the roffle Insight drifting off gently into scotland, it was time to source a new steed. I remember when @davehedgehog31 picked this car up, I thought it was an absolute winner and decided if he ever chose to sell it, I'd dash straight to the top of the queue. I'd sold a car and now I needed a car. The stars moved a bit in the sky. The fantastic @sdkrc had to come from Scotland to pick up the Insight. He happened to reside not too far from this absolute gem. The starts shifted slightly again. I asked @davehedgehog31 if he would consider selling it (not for the first time) and after some discussion, he was kind enough to pick a number that was conducive to all. All the stars aligned an a brace of trumpets played an angelic fanfare. I said woohoo. spartacus, privatewire, drewd and 24 others 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 I took it out for a spin today and I absolutely love it. It has so much character, and it's imperfections dig under your skin like little hooks of character that just make be love it more. It's right under my skin. I mean look at it.

Always keep one period Peugeot rubber mat in stock just in case you happen to buy an old pug.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 At first I thought this Warrior with a staff and shield was part of the graphics , then realised it’s either your reflection or an actual Inca watching protectively over his new master.
