yes probably, sorry sounds vague.
He's a great friend. I love him to bits so we will talk over the next few weeks.
When you rock up to his place it's just a fun unique experience, full of twists and turns and he loved my other mate as they have a fairly unique similar alternative hobby, so they got on like a house on fire but ended up discussing that for about an hour.
I’d never buy/sell a car to/from a mate - if the engine or gearbox go the next day…..

They would always expect huge discount or for you to make no profit out of them at all.
The problem with that is it left you no margin to help them out if something unforeseen went amiss,
Was far better giving a small discount or better still none at all and offering to pay the bill in full along with loaning them a courtesy car,
They seem to remember that far longer than the price paid.

Please keep going, I am really looking forward to finding out how this one ends.
And custard please when the purchase is finally made!
Thank you, I was tempted to take a few pics on Saturday, to prove it's not bullsAnd custard please when the purchase is finally made!
t as some seem to hope, but I think I can live with a few strangers frothing up, and it's not fair on the owner.He gave me a lovely limited addition print of a car painting from quite a famous artist, he's just a lovely bloke.
The plan is for him to come to dinner in a couple of weeks and we will have an open and honest chat. He can see my toys.
The great thing for me is the owner and the expert have swapped numbers and can help each with the other hobby big time. I guess some will say I'm a mug for doing that as they could go behind my back etc etc, but they won't. I've known the owner for 20 plus years and he'd be in my top 3 people i'd ring if I needed major help (not financially, more like hiding a body thing).

Delorean, being restored, should be back with me next week, I've never even seen it yet.

I'm sure one poster will now call bullst on ownership of these, if he wants to call me out I'll do a sign saying "C-------- is a wally stuck on all them"

Yeah I think we are all going to be disappointed and there will be no custard for desert
I'm actually quite interested in the psyche of your comments. You seem to do this act on a lot of threads. I wonder what you get out of it. It's almost like you want to bully or throw your weight around on a forum for some reason. Often being called a sanctimonious tt by others.Yet, (and yes I could be either as well), you could be a successful businessman or a 12 year old school boy.
but what do you get out of it? Whatever it is I'm afraid I don't get it, but each to their own, harmless really as we are strangers. Can't imagine you just walking up to someone in real life with no knowledge of them calling them bulls
tters, just doesn't make sense.Edited by Bob-iylho on Sunday 6th March 20:54

You are lucky finding the Countach through word and mouth these days,a rare thing so you really need to get on with it just in case,
Keep it close to your chest as these things have got a habit of getting out no matter how careful you are.
Good luck with the purchase and looking foreward to some photo's after the matter.

To be honest, certain people are getting to me on this thread.
As a result I'm dropping out. I just don't need it or want it.
Things get to me, it affects me, I don't need it.
Curledge can be happy he's won and sleep tight and accuse me of all sorts, it will give him a right boner.
To the chaps who offered positive comments, thank you.
Up to each of you to decide whether it's bullst or not.

Bob dont let Curledge get to you. He's a complete loser who has had multiple accounts on PH. The first being rambolambo, banned for racism iirc. He comes back with different accounts when he gets caught out. He's very transparent though. The only mystery is how a bell like him can afford a mclaren 675lt.As a result I'm dropping out.

Don't flounce. It's not a good look and gives the doubters more ammunition.
Honestly I prefer mental well being and happiness, to having to put up with st, but thank you for your concern and flouncing is not something which will keep me awake at night.It's like that cartoon, where the guy is awake all night to win an internet argument, I'm 56. I can accept a stranger (or 2) who I have never seen or met or know where they live, male or female, gay or straight, black or white getting one over on me.
It's a win win for everybody. I really do prefer real life friends.
That's it, over and out, good night.
