Didn't get the C900 'vert. Bottled it.

Common sense saw reason. I don't have a garage, and the car would be parked on a back street. I had set myself a mental limit of =A32500, then decided I didn't want it= =20 (did really but tried to talk myself out).

10 minutes to go, and it was at =A32400. I was sweating. I had already=20 decided I wasn't going to bid. It was so tempting.

Luckily at 8 minutes 30 seconds, somebody bid =A32629.08. Weird ammount,=20 but it got me off the hook.

I now just have to see what that 135k Aero in Aldershot goes for. At=20 just shy of =A31600 it hasn't hit reserve. I won't go much more than =A32k= =20 for that, but it is perfect for me spec wise.

Otherwise there is a 9000 2.0 Ecopower (low pressure turbo) near me for=20 =A3995, but it has done 185k miles. I have to phone the owner back=20 tomorrow about it, as he had two people coming today to look.

Yeah, but what does he know. Every car he chooses to own bombs in value, until he sells it, at which point it becomes an instant classic and rockets in value. And anyway it was a late model early convertable, not an early model.

Well, er, quite a lot ! There aren't many cars that he hasn't hooned around, over the years.

Aye, when I met him I asked him about his Escort Cosworth. Loved it - wished he still had it.

Like I said, What does he know ;)

Admits himself, he might hoon arround, but doesn't actually like driving fast on the track. Much prefers autobahn blasting.
