I think I did a pair of rears on an XJ-R in a fortnight. Happy days. 😁 No but I've rented a hire car using a corporate credit card/borrowed the works pool car. Manager once took me aside, and asked me to stop handbraking it into the parking space. I mean I was first into car park. The tarmac had a film of loose gravel on top, what's a man to do.

Split_Pin Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Of course he read it, he's just chancing it. I no longer write no offers or anything like that as I still get these stupid messages anyway - I therefore become less frustrated. bigfella2, oldcars and St.Jude 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were you then I'd tell them to have a wee sook of the exhaust. Honestly you might be able to sell it to the "scene, innit" types by telling 'em it's got a factory fitted de-cat.

DodgyBastard Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 A 125cc trail bike I'm selling, I think the guy might be a little bit optimistic with top speeds of 125's. Eyersey1234, Coprolalia, twosmoke300 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 This one annoyed me, made an offer before he could make arrangements to pick it up then when I offered to drop it off if he viewed if beforehand he wanted me to bring it to him first and if he didn't want it he'd give me some fuel money.

Although I never felt safe on my RD350LC above 95 mph. I think because I managed to seize the engine at 95 and the memories of attempting to stay upright were always in the back of my mind.

Dave_Q Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 You just know that Lewis hasn't even got 2000 pennies to his name and if you were stupid enough to take it to him he'd either find a microscopic paint flaw and angrily reject it, refusing to pay for the petrol as it's NOT AS DESCRIBLED BLUD or more likely he would give you the address of the KFC car park on the edge of his estate then 100% blank you, block on Facebook and turn phone off to make sure he doesn't have to go through with his pathetic fantasy of buying a vehicle in real life mk2_craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraz Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 My brothers currently looking for an automatic van for his gardening business. I spotted a VW caddy marked as an automatic on Facebook marketplace tonight. I always double check as the gearbox spec is just a ticky box and loads of folk wrongly advertise a manual as auto… the conversation went well.

wuvvum Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Only 125s I've seen that would do the ton were derestricted sportsbikes like the RS125 and Mito. I very much doubt any kind of trail bike would manage it. Mind you a lot of Italian speedos are so optimistic that the needle will be pointing at 100 when you're doing 78.

Tell him the Earth is spinning at 1000mph and traveling round the sun at 67 000 mph and all that lot travelling through the galaxy at a few million mph, so 70 or 125 is pretty irrelevant .

I'd genuinely like to know this. The only thing I can think of is that it's a free publicly available resource to allow them to look at other people's cars who also happen to want to sell them, cue a 5 second pang of wanting it and sending a message before realising they don't have the money/facility/circumstances/intelligence to buy it results in some of the ridiculous conversations as above Lankytim, stripped fred, Eyersey1234 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
