Not many chims oop north

[matt12023]

I've just come on the market for a chim but there seems to a complete dearth of them up here near newcastle.

Using PH and Autotrader i've found quite a few i'd like to look at but they are all 200 miles away

Does anyone know of any other good places to look for them for sale other then PH and Autotrader?

I know of a very good 400 for sale - trouble is it's not quite up North!!

[matt12023]

I looked for your zippee but i couldnt find it,

i'm looking at the lower end of the market though being a poor northener and having to spend my money on wippet feed and the like

Hi m8, I was at the BNG on Sunday on the quayside at Gateshead and I was chatting to a guy who lives local and was selling his YELLOW Chim 4.0 which was mint with lots of extras. Someone on Pistonheads may know this guy ? Hope this helps..... Garry

I've never seen that, or is it that you're not allowed to link to it?

Nothing stopping me doing though eh? Here

Hi Matt

I came OOP North last year to look at and eventually but my Chim. It was past Newcastle on the A1 and I am very pleased with it.

It was an excellent 300 mile drive to bring it back home though . !!

Good Luck

definitely more darn sarth
had to fly down to heathrow to pick mine up a couple of years ago drove it back to south shields through traffic jams and belting down rain, early january time , by the time we got back to south shields knew I'd done the right thing , was the first time I'd driven one and the first one I'd went to see.(figured if you followed the general advice of looking at lots you could end up spending a fortune anyway and still not buy anything)
Figured also that once I'd paid for the flights to heathrow(singles for me and the missus)I had to come back with a car , no major problems in 30 mths, and everything worked out fine.

good luck with the seach

[matt12023]

thats very nice on zippee, may be slightly out of budget

aye its viewing thats the problem, I could spend a fortune going all over the place,

found that one in durham on the classifieds so will try to look at that to get an idea then i suppose best bet will be to line some up for same weekend and road trip it
