Christ what a weekend.

So have been thinking about engines and havent been able to make mine mine up, do i use my xe as its a sweet running and quiet as a mouse, find a 1.8 8v and twin carb it up, find a let..
When i get sent a ebay link for a let few days to go, sitting at 900. It sells then get relisted the next day due to time waisters, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=300292044141 So a sat here looking at the ad and thought why not txt him a cash offer and see what he says. So i did, he txted back and said yes... Win.

Wad, ready to be spent..




So off we set, had hardly any sleep, but the nice cold morning sorts that out..


I found that not even 30miles up the road and they still have deep snow, was so unfair!


Anyway lots of driving later we pasted the Vauxhall plant in Luton, we end up in a small town called Olney to view this let.

After following matey to his garage and watching him get stuck inthe snow, then sit with the engine on the limiter trying to get out of it.
He shows us the serecty to stop anyone getting in the garage.. Silver one drags the gold one out of way with seat belt..





Benn looking at said let,


A very full garage.


Did all the checks you guys said, big thanks for that! Finding them all ok i handed over 700 and started loading the car.

[Benn]

On the way up the radio didnt have much on it, so my dad read to me, which i have to say was nice, and then all the way home too..
