You're the last person I expected to be unable to swing on here.

The photos of cars in Birmingham always look shit so I dread to think what they're like in person.

I'll never buy a (cheap) car from Bristol, especially any dealers. Virtually every single car I've looked at in the centre has had major issues and been a heap.

Ah he's just trying to tickle me.

I've been through a lot of cars and the vast majority are still on the road. Certainly haven't had any real complaints from those that have bought cars off me either. Some have been bought as projects but others just routine maintenance that's been deferred. Very few cars I've bought have been disappointments in their condition.

Is scrawling "Kia" on a Fiesta tail-gate latch the Blackpool equivalent of Lexus tail lights, I wonder.....?

I'd imagine there be a few Fezzer lickers would give coin for those window deflectors too. Come, on man, chip in four of you and drive it home. Be a great thread....

There's five of us up for it but they want me to put it in my name. My idea was to drive it back on the tt insurance then flog it but I've no off street parking.
How much would it scrap for?
The bus isn't due till 12.30 and I'm dreading it.

I wasn't sure if it is supposed to say Ka, as in Ford Ka? Is it written on in pen or the grey paint scratched off to say if?
