ok no prob

AThe red one cost 375 all togeather. It was 160 at auction. 88 pound buyers fee. 25 pound document fee. 7o pound delivery fee. And still need to tax it. So it will be just under 500.

I was trying to insure it for 1 day. But they wouldnt let me do it due to age. Bloody piss take.
So i thought sod it. Plus it will give me time to sort stuff out.

Paul, keep hold of the black one until you're sure the red one is OK. Then I might be able to put you in touch with someone who will buy the black one from you locally.

Ermm seems good thanks. I suppose im in no rush. My dream is to have 2 cars lol. But at the same time a car is for driving not sitting there. Everyone will moawn at us for having 2 cars. Like mum brother sister. Grandparnts people like tat lol
But it can be done. Have them reserdentail parking spaces. Each house has 1 space for 2 cars in it. Mum hardly uses it she park her clio out frount. Plus the next door doesnt drive.
But the oil patch is getting bad. Im suprised no ones moawned about that yet.

Well done Paul $\:D/$
Look after it and I hope it serves you well !
I'll see if I can find out any more history for it off my friend unless it all comes with the car documentation ?

I see Ken's started a gallery off with the Evans Halshaw, compound photo/shot's which I've already seen which you sent me last week, so I'll host the Auction Photo's/shots you sent me (Hopefully that's okay with you) which I presume were taken before the drop of the hammer ?

So hopefully the next photo's will be hosted by you Paul after you given the RED-ARROW a good 'T'- cut and polish !

I've called your new

that because you've got RAF CONINGSBY virtually in your back garden

nice- looks like no sunroof on that. I looked for ages, in vain, for a car w/o sunroof.

Red Arrows are based at RAF Scampton, RxBx. Some distance away but still in the county of Lincolnshire.

The /\ I knew and I was half expecting a comment/correction on the exact base of the Red-Arrows (I nearly went down Ladbrokes this morning to place a bet on that it would probably be you too)

So 'CALM DOWN MY DEAR' (as the PM would say, It was only for a bit of fun)

I'm sure Paul does does see the Red Arrows more often than most of us on here with him living in Lincolnshire whilst there out on training/exercises and also when there flying out or returning from a display day.

So Phil, it was not a Red-Herring and I'm sure Paul will be driving around the Lincolnshire countryside soon like a Red-Arrows Pilot in his TXD Turbo

I like that.

RxBx, Do you not understand the smiley? As you have taken it seriously you need to learn "when in a hole, stop digging".

That's a decent car for the money and I think you've had a right result there.
I'd just like to add PLEASE bin those pound shop wheel trims though, they're bloody horrendous!

jacksun1987 · Post by **jacksun1987** » Sun May 01, 2011 12:24 pm

has anyone got some bx wheel trim kicking around?
Yes i think ive got a bargin. If i was a bit more conferdent at the auction i would have kept my hands in my pocket for a bit longer. He said 150 then 150 againe. Then i put my hand up he said 160 then bang with the hammer. It happerned so fast.
