He said in his ad he would consider a part ex lol, offer the pug and drive it up to him
 Nice purchase by the way. Whats his real name by the way? A cursory investigation reveals he tried to sell it on ebay but turned down an offer of £11500.You will notice a big difference between that and barney (have you got a name for it yet?) Also, if you value your spine, a change to non run flat tyres is a really good move. The run flats go in less than 10k and cost an arm and a leg for something that gives no benefit if you have aa or rac cover. One thing to watch out for is that sometimes the logic 7 system can go bad. Its prohibitively expensive to replace and its all fibre optic and linked in to the car, so its not a quick Halfords replacement radio exercise. I'm assuming with all the paperwork that things like the coolant and brake fluid have been done? One thing to consider is that the fluid in the diff and the manual gearbox will need changing at about this time. Its something most people overlook until they get an increasing whine coming from the rear. Now the negatives are out of the way, you will notice a huge wave of torque delivered in a very linear fashion. You can easily loose your licence just putting your foot down for a few seconds on the motorway, it will easily cruise along the M4 doing about 36mpg. It has the newer N52 engine which develops 268Bhp and is an absolute peach.

Obviously you wont if you're just picking the car up, but if you do ever happen to find yourself up there with time to kill, Eden Camp is a pretty good war museum type place, built on an old POW camp. It's about 10 seconds off the roundabout on the A64/A169 junction. |

Had a look at the ebay ad and, to be honest, it makes me feel more confident
Description and details are exactly the same. His overall feedback is very good, selling lots of different various items from toys to spare wheels (no surprise being in the tyre business). As for the ebay adverts, he was offered £10k and declined it and the £11.5k offer expired so I assume that means he got back to the buyer but he didn't reply?

Still not counting all my chickens until I've been to the bank today to sort out a bankers draft and see what they need. But it's looking more and more likely

Soon as the cash is sorted, wipe your calendar, throw your diary across the room and go get!

Seriously though, if it helps, we are heading up the M62 on Friday evening.
