Right then my road trip..........got there & its wasnt raining superb cause it rained all the way doon.
Found a few things that werent in the listing like a couple of bits of welding that were fibre glassed
& not even tried to hide it either
All the seats were just flung inside not bolted in no biggy as I could lift the carpets out.
couple of bits I could see starting to bubble on the paint work. He had sent me additional pics showing me all round the car
obviously taken in 2022 when it first came from africa. I said I wasnt looking for another project & was ready to walk away
he immediately said his reserve was 3k & id won the bid at £4661. He said no mechanic down there would look at it & its
getting ruined sitting outside what did I think it was worth to me....I said a grand & youd be better getting it properly registered that will give it a much higher value even without doing the repairs. He'd had enough of it as he paid £15500 for it including
the shipping. Then spent 2k getting all the interior & door cards re-trimmed in leather plus a sound system in the boot.
After spending months back & forward with the dvla paper work he's cutting he losses. He said would I give him 1500 for it
I pondered for & mo then said 1200, he then came back with 1400 I said ok if it runs good, then my wee bro said theres no
water in the rad can you get some (yup no probs) poured it in & it had a leak from a rotten core plug. Ah ffs he said just
give me a grand & take it away. Hurry up bro drive it onto the trailer & lets go

Well we gave em £25 for 40 entries. A deal of the dosh must go to the RSPCA as they benefitted to the toon of £1 mill last year.
As with all gambles you have to look at the pot before taking a punt.
The Somerset House Draw Is Now Closed
Enter the Omaze Million Pound House Draw to be in with a chance to win a Multi-Million Pound House and spectacular Early Bird Prizes.

So the big pad plus £100K. We wouldn't grumble if we won!

That sounds like a very good idea to me. I've not had a lathe for a good many years and I'm feeling the lack. I think rather than a brand new budget one, if I had £3000 to spend I'd go for a decent used one. Something about the size and weight of a Colchester Student would do me very well indeed. I met a man selling one a few years ago, but I was trying to buy a piece of land at the time and wasn't really thinking much about lathes, so I missed it.
