I'm currently sat on the train posting this. After the shunt I had yesterday it looks like my latest snotter is about to be written off. This is rubbish as it's a solid old girl and I'd just put 12 months MOT and tax on her, plus treating her to a new set of tyres frown

So does anybody know of any decent shed like cars that could be looking for a new home? I'm looking to spend about £1500 tops and it needs to be cheap to run. Nigel I don't think the 7 series you mentioned last night can have 4 decent tyres fitted for £150!! 14 inch wheels are a blessing at times!

So if anybody knows of anything let me know, I tend to go Japanese when I look for a shed (Nissan, Honda & Toyota) and fairly basic. Would love to get my hands on a diesel estate if possible but I think that's going to be outside the budget.

Ohhhhh, I used to have a 182 and loved it. Has it had the belts etc changed?

Drop me a PM with details, once I know the fate of the Primera we could be in business. Assuming that you are happy with my budget wink

I just set up a dummy email address and emailed them to see what happens, it does smell of scam.

Who knows, I might end up earning the trust of a Nigerian king who has to give away $2,000,000 and put it into my bank account straight away!

He's, sorry, she's not that much of a scammer. The email address doesn't even work frown I was hoping to have some fun with that one!
