Thought it was that one when I looked yesterday! Will try to get a viewing arranged today.. 
it will have to make room for another JDM icon if we go for it!

Marc, the properties vanished from Rightmove? I did make an enquiry yesterday, was waiting to hear back..
Someone may have already rented it, I'll find out for you.Edited by dannyDC2 on Wednesday 5th April 13:52
I was flat out working on the Integra all weekend so didn't have chance to check the site... didn't think it would be up and go so soon. Pretty gutted but oh well, got a month to find another place now!
Made my first gay enquiry too today. Me and my partner would like to view the property etc. Going to fire a few more off in the morning!

Would it be fair to say you're curious?

Should we expect the vlogs to take on more of a 'soft furnishings' angle in the near future, Danny?
Haha, I reckon I can pull off the luck so long as they don't see the interior of my Integra!Update!
Finally found a really promising place yesterday, so went for a viewing today. I told the chap it was for me and my partner, as I didn't want to take any chances after receiving negative feedback towards sharers from previous estate agents.
I kinda messed up the gay thing. I referred to my pal as my flatmate rather than my boyfriend once or twice, but I think I pulled it off. I got the impression that it didn't really matter though, and that the landlord wouldn't mind either way.
I really liked the place, plenty of room for the cars which is the main thing of course! We're considering going for it, but now my conscious is telling me to come clean about our relationship.
I've been doing some digging and found out that the landlord, who is said to be a nice chap, ran for local election 20 years ago for a political party with very strong beliefs regarding abortion, and other issues relating to that. Issues that I would probably put him in the 'bit of a nutter' category, and perhaps the thought of 2 gay men living together in his property might put him off the deal.
What a pickle I've got myself in to...
Thoughts?

What if the landlord asks you to "prove" that you're gay?

I don't want to do that, lying isn't something I'm good at nor like to do, but how could just those few words be the difference between us getting a nice place to live, or having to live in another flat or terraced house.
Given that you feel like that, I would guess that equally you will treat a flat with respect hence as long as you know that your intentions are honest then you shouldn't have any qualms about lying.Conversely, if you have loads of mates round regularly for piss-ups then you shouldn't.

Nope nothing like that, the odd guest now and then but it's usually just me and my PHer flatmate. Conversely, if you have loads of mates round regularly for piss-ups then you shouldn't.
Bit of an update - my friend got a call back stating the landlord was not interested in letting the property to sharers! So I guess it's a good job I pulled the gay card out. Although totally bizarre if you ask me!
