its sunny, its hot....whats the problem!

there seem to be loads on PH (mine included!)

i thought that the market would be very good around this time of year? but it seems there are far more sellers than buyers.

ps- now showing as sold on classifieds..but DONT PANIC, will only go to the otherguy if you decide its not for you!

pps- what is it with some people.....i have a bloke coming to look at my car tommorow. on the phone (never seen the car other than 2 pics) he says..."will you drop the price" i said the price was flexible to a point, etc, etc to which he says "well you need to drop it a fair bit to get me interested"

lol- now im as happy as larry to strike a deal but how about doing it once you have seen the car!

and when i asked if he'd seen the car on pistonheads he said "no, the autotrader, and why have you got the car on the internet- no one looks at that computer rubbish".....i await his visit with interest!

nothing like crusing out to a pub on a summers evening to make you forget their are screaming kids at home

TVR's should be issued to all couples wanting a divorce.....they would save some marriges

(equally anyone getting a divorce with a TVR should have it taken away as it could be the car thats causing it!)
