Would never get mum in the hyundai, she's to much bothered by the badge.
If she thinks the Hyundai badge is a problem there's a Kia version smile

The 'Merkins are buying them in some quantity.

we, well i've (to be correct) have decided on a legend. Been having a gentle nose around and have seen this one on egay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&am...

looks as if it may be cheap enough to gamble on. i've no chance of looking at it before the auction ends, so would be a complete punt. Smells a bit bargetastc to me though

any thoughts or glaringly obvious reasons to avoid it that people can see?

thanks.

does sound like the start of a bad joke doesn't it...

"whats purple and has a months mot?"

maybe not. had overlooked the mot bit in my excitement at its glorious mauveness...

will keep an eye and see how cheap cheap is.

What would you give me for my Dad? You have to collect... and dig up in fact. Would make a good conversation starter as to why someone would be buried in an Arsenal shirt.

The leather seems to have picked up a grubby/green tinge too.

I've got a W124 Merc if you're interested. How much does he eat and can he 'do' gardening?
