Re: A funny forum passtime...

People that ask for help/advice and don't have the manners to say thanks or update a thread with the outcome are the worst on any forum :roll:

We have one now that we use where the dogs sleep at night, it's more modern but same principal so same issue. You never forget the smell :)

There's usually around 30 requests a day that I ignore because they are not genuine. 30 a day! That's crazy! Why not suggest that every application is supported by a £5 Paypal donation? That would help support the running of the forum and weed out any non-genuine requests. I don't believe that to b...

Re: 3.0S

an "unmolested" example. Unmolested? Roll Cage? It may have gone now but you have to wonder why it ever put in? From watching the episode, the owner had the car since the early 80s and liked modifying cars, and driving them how they were meant to be driven. He has now died hence the sale ...

And there is a buyers premium too.

From their website; Our standard buyer's premium charge is 12.5% + VAT of the hammer price for motor vehicles (cars and motorcycles).

So the new owner paid over £60k!

Why have a window when yo...
