Not everyone wants a LHD car and I think they are more to insure? Some sellers are stubborn on price too!

Ahhhh, fair enough, good points!

Out of interest Tom, what kind of price range is that?

What a great point. I reckon thousands of people have benefitted from your advice and knowledge Paul.

Been on sale for 5 years? That's mad.

..look at this beauty: I wonder if the 666 plate could put some potential buyers off? Andrew It will definitely. But, as Paul observes, there'll be others that would love it. Like me! I used to work with a guy who had 666 as part of his Fiesta reg. He was always getting approached from people wanti...

Seems to be the Marmite of pies. Don't have them much now but I do like them, the pastry especially. But yes, that tin! Agree, roast is one of the best things ever.

Andrew

Quite the opposite I'd say.

Not sure what to make of that?! Very interesting from a Ford historical point of view though.

That's a great pic Can fully see what Tom means too.

Will have enough for an electric kettle soon.

Insurance is a big rip off! Can't argue with that! Well you could Paul but you'd be wrong :) And don't get me started on petrol prices! Local Esso garage yesterday was just under £1.70 litre for E5 :shock: About 25p litre more than E10 :swear: Hehe lucky I'm not willing to argue then :) Yes petrol ...

You do have to question if such stuff is actually noticeable via the human ear. If not then why bother? A lot of technology and quoted specs. are marketed to simply impress.

Looks a bit like Fray Bentos, remember those? Love em.
