. The auction was due to end at about 00.20 in the morning.the car had only made about £1800 quid with 5mins to go.my bro puts in a bid for me of about £2650 (which was way over what i wanted to pay for it anyway...........and guess what..... I WAS OUT BID!!!!!!!.I was out bid by someone who had opened a NEW EBAY ACCOUNT AT 2355!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now tell me,whats the chance of a brand new account holder giong straight out and spending £2700 on a mk1 fez,ON A SUNDAY NIGHT,AT FUCKIN MIDNIGHT?????????????????????????
THE GEEZER blatently bid on his own car.After id lost the bid,i was glad,cos i wouldnt of felt happy buying such an old car,FROM A MESSER.Who knows what id found on it when i got it home.
IT was sort of fate in a way,cos i was planning on giving the money to the bank.....but the next dayWAS ACE CAFE night,and i fell in love with,and very quickly bought this as it was up for sale
Yeah you could say you did the right thing, I bought it for 2300, I had to trailer it home cos I wasnt driving all the way to aberdeen on a fiesta with 17s! the engine didnt last a week, blow up!, It sailed its MOT tho!!!! LOL,
I would pretty much say it was the worst car I had driven with the 17s, But now with the 15s and a few suspension mods its alot better.
So fitted after the engine going bang I put in a 1.9 engine and spent a heap of money on it and its making a good 220bhp, and all the faults have gone!
