    Bought an Ebay banger……

    Automatic Eunos Roadster. Basically a Japanese MX5.

    The thing has been in a warehouse for the last year, hence the brakes have seized up somewhat.

    Getting it transported on a trailer to play it safe, and to save writing off a Saturday.

    When working it should shift for £1300. I am getting for around £600.

    No MOT, hence will be busy doing some diy brake repairs over the coming weekend, then decide if I flog or keep.

    Oh, a nice green mossy area in the centre of the car as well, so will be busy valeting!

    The way the market is, this could be a good plan B!

          I thought I saw an advert for Wilmslow this morning on the M62 (a road he uses). I passed a van with the words Wilmslow Plant Hire and figured it might be him offering his cabbage like services - but then remembered he was a permie
          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!

            Good plan B! 'Fun' cars are going to be in such demand, what with everyone having loads of spare cash and all.

            So after you've tried flogging it for 3 months and resorted to auctioning it (probably on eBay) you'll be soooorteeed!

            Ker-ching!

              With your luck with cars, I think not!

                What's the paintwork like on it? My Eunos is fading and requires urgent attention with a mop.
                Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

                  I've always wanted to have a play with a Porter Cable. Are you considering investing?

                    That looks like a serious piece of kit. I was thinking of buying a decent mop after chatting to the bloke that services my car - his main business is restoring classic cars, and he recommended paying the extra for a decent one. I've also been offered a mop on loan, so I'll probably check that out first.
