Completed the sale yesterday evening.
The car is being picked up today to go to its new life in Gloucestershire. The guy who bought it, David Heaton, sounds keen and enthusiastic, he is also a motorcycle enthusiast: double good!

Have a close look at where the rear sub frame mounts to the body, an area which does suffer from corrosion and obviously needs care to replace to maintain the integrity of the structure and keep the wheels in line. As Mr M says above parts are availabl...

Re: Skyrocket 54 magazine

Hi Sean, You overestimate my ability to use these new-mangled machines. Whilst I am sure it is possible to amend the settings, I cannot do it. I have just tried clicking on any symbols on the screen, and none of them appeared to let me into account settings. I am sure you are correct re the problem,...

This may sound stupid to those of you more computer literate than me! But how do you get the template? I can't find it in a form to use.

Hi Hwyel, Regret I won't be able to make it over to North Wales this year. My back trouble has recurred, making any sitting in an uprightish posture like in a dining chair, at my computer, driving, etc for more than 1/2 hour excruciatingly painful.

Re: 1989 Vw Scirocco

This guy, Robert is not selling the car. He has spotted it on e-bay and is letting us all see it. I find this quite helpful in that we are easily able to check how these cars sell, we are thus able to get a reasonable value of our cars for agreed value, etc.
