Default its a goodnight from me.... cars gone

the escos went to its new owner yesterday, first & only person to look at it! felt wierd going to get something from the fridge in the garage & the car not being there
oh well, i've had it a few years now, done most of what i wanted to it!
the missis wanted to keep it but i couldn't justify the cost of it, we have not long ago bought our first house so i wanted to keep outlays to a minimum...
i took a 2wd saff in p/x so if if i want to i could keep that for a bit of fun

i was the same mate, had to deal with all the timewaster's when i had the escos up for sale but stuck to the price i wanted, then the first and only genuine person who actually came to view the car bought it.

glad you gotthem sold mate, hope you enjoy your new house.

good to hear guzzler....

its funny, thats the way es cos' always seem to sell, they have months of messers, then some one genuine looks at it and buys it straight away. happened with my mates red one, first viewer bought it within 10 mins of viewing it

i didn't even have any time wasters on it, no one had been to look at it, i know it wasn't a cheap car but when you start adding up the parts on it, one of the rarest colours aswell......
its gone to the south coast, younger fella (22) we tuned his saff a few times & every time he returned with it the car was a bit better & he listened to advise given, nice to see for a change
