Talking Well that was quick

Looks like the Clio will have a buyer, took the son of one of my work mates out in it at lunchtime and hes going to try and sort out a loan ASAP

LOL he called when I was typing this to make sure I wasn't going to sell it to anyone else in the meantime .

Gives me a few hundred quid more than the trade in so I'm happy and I can afford to buy Aitch a birthday prezzie

£5800

Excellent but don't kid yourself, you'll get a £100 pressie tops, the rest will go on new fangled alloy after market gear knobs and such
Then you'll take her for a spin in your new ride and hope that makes up for the lack of birthday pressie

Not this time, although I might treat myself to a Wahlen Shift Machine



But she hasn't spent the money I promised her last year so shes off the Harvey Nicks with as much money as I have left over which should be quite significant, I've also promised to go with her for the whole day and not moan

You need me to organise a squad to kidnap you and force you to go to the pub?

My team is very discrete

That was a bit quick

Going to buy her something nice?
You're getting the girly present so something manly and masculine for her?

Its the son of a woman I work with.

She knows I've looked after it and we trust each other, I spoke to her husband he drove it, they are all aware it is what it is, they decided not to have it AA checked.

If anything goes wrong I'll comiserate and help them find a place to fix it but I told the lad that there is no warenty, I'm not a dealer so you get what you see, if it goes wrong on the way down to Wales then I'll pay to have it mended, fingers crossed it won't :undecided:

Just when I was working out how much I could get for the Focus. Nicely done Matt, I said it was a cracking motor for the price
