Popular Post captain_70s Posted August 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2020 A message was sent to me from an associate, a car has arrived in a Port Glasgow scrapyard and they think it's too nice to break. It's white, it's MOT'd for a couple of months and it is £300. I can get it on classic insurance. I've already agreed to buy it without seeing it. EXCITE.
