That you can see.
Or is it just me spending too much time in Moss side?
Yes.
HTH
'Have you ever considered moving somewhere less pikey?'
It's many, many years since I've been through Moss Side, is it still like that?
Visibly, on the streets, in daylight no, but it still goes on after dark.
The crackdown on knife crime has just meant the kids have bought guns instead. They seem to come in from eastern europe easier since the borders dropped. Seems some of them were left behind after various civil wars and made it over.
I don't tend to go through the really rough areas, but you see some very unsavoury characters hanging around the abandoned Repsol filling station on the Princess road.
Elder gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
Far, far too much time.
The boot lock's been replaced badly at some time - probably after being forced out by theiving toerags. The other two are on the same front wing
- arch and round the headlight. Bodged crash repair.
I bought that low mileage 216 GTi I had from a place in that sort of area - Chorlton, IIRC.
On the test drive, I went down this side road to find it completely blocked off halfway down by a area fenced off with a murder investigation portakabin sat in the middle.
Only one previous owner but no service history. Means it's been clocked.
"Dave Plowman (News)" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
Might not be.
I'm good at servicing on time, but never bother keeping the paperwork in order.
...and no crossmember left to speak of probably...!

You buy a new Merc type car and service it yourself?
I keep all relevant receipts in a folder. Or several with the SD1.
"Dave Plowman (News)" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
No. But that's hardly "new" any more, is it?
Anyway, there's plenty of invoices & receipts for work done that I've mislaid over the years, as well as just notes of work/mileages and part invoices. Never underestimate my disorganisation.
No - but if it is one owner I'd expect there to be service history. It's a classic one losing the history - and lots of miles.
Oh I'm not organised. Some keep spreadsheets etc listing date and mileage. Not me. I just chuck all the receipts into the said folder. Do the same into different folders for most things other than groceries. Never know when the accountant might want real proof. ;-)
Mine go to the accountant. Service book is stamped up though.
