In the mid 90s, I traded a mk3 Cavalier, for a DVD player.

An air rifle, for a Metro.

And a mini disc player, for a mk1, 3 door Sierra 1.6.

What are your strange trades?

Vaguely connected, but I got bored of my first car, a reliable but tired Datsun 120Y coupe no less.

I sold it for a tenner, because I just wanted rid, but also because I fancied a Capri 1.6L which turned out to be a dog.

I went into debt for that Crapi too. Lesson learned.

The car. It rattled, smoked, was hard to start and the brake bias was broken so it tried to kill me a few times. The sister did that a bit too though.

Swapped my S14 200sx for a 8m Rib with a tiny outboard! That was fun once big outboards were found!

On a whim, I traded in a Mk 4 Golf 180 GTi for a Mark 5 Golf 1.6 FSI. I lost interest in the latter after a few weeks and sold it soon after that (and took a big hit)

Swapped my Integrale for new windows for my first house.

I think I got the better deal, the 'grale rusted to pieces and the windows still look like new.
