Tonight, Nick gave up his time, for a total stranger he had never spoken to before, to inspect a coupe for me.
I had basically made the decision to buy the car, but wanted someone to check it for me anyway. I have since put a deposit on this bad boy and i shall have it in my driveway in about 2 weeks. I would like to thank Nick and think that everyone should know what a great deed he did for me. We should all be so kind. Thanks again. Dave. |

yeah the way i see it is i get a fully rebuilt driveline, with receipts for 15k, and a good bodied coupe for 20k.
so i get free wheels, interior etc etc.... i had no problem in paying the price for it. |
