Just had a reply to my "For Sale" ad in this forum. Guy has,nt asked any questions about its condition,it,s history etc but HAS said he will pay with a bankers cheque cashable against a UK bank. What is it with these people? Do they think I was born yesterday. I,ve got a prize winning VERY early big window,do you REALLY think I,m just going to mail the keys off somewhere? What do these people ACTUALLY get out of it,I mean,I,m not going to sell it abroad. I want it to stay in UK to honour Morris,s name(the guy who,s name first appeared on the log book/title deed). If you,ve got a car for sale,here or anywhere else,get a contact telephone number,name and address and NO mobiles. Jeez! Rant over RALPH. :evil:

Well,it was all quiet for a couple of weeks,now they are all coming out of the woodwork. I think I even had a 16 year old ask about buying it. I think I,ll run it again next month but put,"No one from West Africa or under 18 need apply". Feckin idiots. RALPH. :evil:
