:eek: :eek: well thats a beauty, as Trevor said it must have been festering for many years before it sat on the grass that kind of corrosion just doesnt happen over night.

Perhaps when he realised it was a bad un he just gave up realising it was fooked and forgot about it.

Imagine spending 2k on a car only to realise you'd been had, anybody would lose interest after that, especially knowing it didnt matter what you did you were never going to see that 2k again.....................

Sh1t alive, I saw this turd just after it got delivered, it looked bad but that's unreal, I especially liked the green carpet.

2 bucket loads of shite was left behind when the turd exited. Plus the towing eye came off as they loaded it 8O

Gone to a better place now!

We don't weigh it in. A guy Si knows picks it up, gives us a drink and take the thing away.

If we have a tow car and a trailer we'd weigh it in ourselves but the logistics just don't work.

You mean, in Surrey parlance, that you're just too posh to actually weigh it in yourselves and deal with the grubby exchange of dirty cash from the breaker's yard's filthy mitts. :wink:
