I've been bad on eBay. Again.

You know you're in for trouble when you bid on something cause it's no reserve and just too cheap. And then you find yourself watching the countdown clock ticking down to zero and no one else bids. And then it says "congratulations, you've won". And then you have to tell the wife.

So now I'm looking at my driveway and thinking, like, where's it going to go?

[ArnieVXR]

On the plus side, it's the prompt I need to sell all that shyte in my garage. All in the next week.

Pics? Link?

Time to warm up the paypal account if Arnie's having a garage sale

[ArnieVXR]

Just an old silver VXR8 (well I am 50 in March). In fact it's the oldest VXR8. Number 1. Not much to see really

Pictures when I pick it up, which should be in the next seven days.

Well done Arnie on buying Richard Ingrams slightly modified VXR8. That's one hell of a car

It is very loud

Well done Arnie

Will it finally get a clean?

[Janosh]

Nice purchase, I'm rather jealous of that.... and wish I was in the market when this cropped up.

I assume you're going to remove the running gear as your objective was to acquire a(nother) high mileage rolling shell

[ArnieVXR]

Yes - I hope to clean it up a bit. It'll be a Sunday car, so should stay clean too.

I like the idea of storing the engine and box in the garage next to all the other ones.

I did ask Richard about the compression ratio...

Great buy. Strokers R Us! Sale of the Century Mate and a bit of history with it.


I have followed that around Europe on many gleeful occasions!!!

I had a look at Richard's new motor - a huge Caddie Escalade. Utterly epic - size of a three bed semi. Also nearly withdrew my bid to make an offer on his Maloo. Lucky b**ger.
