Strange offer for my car...
« on: 09 November 2009, 20:36:20 »
Whilst driving back from Warrington today I had a couple of guys in a Sprinter van trying to offer me money for my car........... At 70 mph :o :o :o

Wasn't a bad offer as it happens... They wrote £900 on a bit of paper and held it to the window ;D ;D

I'd have stopped and had a barter with them if I could find the replacement I want... Looks like the 3.2 Estate hunt is continuing as Josh sent me a message earlier saying he has had an offer for the one he has coming in and it's more than I'm prepared to offer (and I'm willing to pay fairly strong money for the right one!) :'( :'(

Wouldent be suprised if they we hoping you would pull over and then they'd jump you and nick the car.  I used to live in Warrington and got out of Fearnhead just before it turned nasty, if I go back I keep a very good eye out

We were actually on the A14 near Huntingdon at the time.

But it was definitely the car they wanted... If you've seen me you'd realise that £900 is nowhere near enough for my body ::) ::)
