retrogeezer Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 ...but needs collecting tonight from Crewe, Cheshire. My neighbour is going to Australia in the morning (5am!) I don't know much about it other than it's pretty tidy and seems reliable, they have had it a couple of years. It has about 2 months tax and MOT'd until next April. I think he'll take £200 for it.

An easy collection! What state is it in? Is it a use n' frag? Well, it isn't a heap and is quite presentable other than that little bit of black on the welded up sills. Polished it would be rather tidy actually. Do you want to come and get it?? And I know it's late but they told me at 9.30 this evening!
warren t claim Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I'm stuck pet minding until midnight and I'm off to Middlesex at 3.30am. Pants!

Cavcraft Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 If this is still available come the weekend and Mr Claim doesn't want it put me down for second dibs please. Despite my abject loathing for these things I know someone who'll want it.
retrogeezer Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 Billy, It needs to go tonight mate, WTC can't get it so if you can get over it's yours fella. Si
Cavcraft Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Bumhats. Sod all chance of making it tonight sorry Si. Anyone paged Mr B?
retrogeezer Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 Bumhats. Sod all chance of making it tonight sorry Si. Anyone paged Mr B? Billy, If you def want it and won't let me down I can put it on my drive and keep it til tomorrow eve. But the fella will have to sign the paperwork and I don't have space here to keep it any longer than tomorrow. S
retrogeezer Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 same goes for wtc I guess but I can't store it anywhere so it has to be a definite.
Cavcraft Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Cheers Si but even tomorrow is out mate, due to work and missus being on nights. Many thabnks anyhow like.
retrogeezer Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 what a pisser....hate to see a good useable motor go to waste..
Cavcraft Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I've e=mithered Mr B, Si, had to be worth a stab I guess. Such a shame about the short notice mate, is it storage or cash that's the problem if you don't mind me asking?
retrogeezer Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 storage mate, I won't have to give him the money but I've got nowhere to put it for him. I'll see what the score is with leaving it with one of his local relatives if you def want it...I'll go and knock now and will post the reply in a sec.
Cavcraft Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Cheers but in fairness please offer it to Warren if storage is available. If he doesn't want it I'll certainly have it sir.
retrogeezer Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 righty ho, storage sorted until Sat evening but if it can be picked up one evening this week that would be great as I'm at Tatton Park on Sat and RRG on Sunday. WTC, can you sort out collection by Sat evening?
Mr_Bo11ox Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 YO, just seen this, glad its sorted although I dont seem to have got any message from anyone?
Cavcraft Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I e-mailed via the address you have set up on RR, Mr B.
retrogeezer Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 right fellas, things don't seem to have gone to plan last night as I just saw my neighbours kids on the way to the skatepark. The wife did not seem to keen on huge move anyway but their house has been let out, they have put their dog in kennels and they have put all their stuff in storage! So, if they have decided not to go I guess the car won't be for sale and now I feel like a twunt. They must have spent a fortune on this, maybe they have just delayed a few days but they had a visa running out on the 23rd of this month. Will update when I find anything out.
retrogeezer Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 just as well one of you wasn't on their way over last night, the things you do trying to help folk out.
trigger Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Sometimes it just isn't worth the hassle getting involved is it Si.
Station Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 What a FAB numberplate! "Number plait great for fans of lock nest monster and mus b wurth a bit"
Cavcraft Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Bloody hell Si, what a caper for you. Keep us posted anyhow please!
