Exactly what I was thinking, and how I bid.
You don't need to sit watching and upping the bids, just put in the most you want to pay and leave it.
On top of that, he probably bid more than the £100 over whatever you put in - Ebay just bids a little over the next highest bidder. Chances are he may have put £16k on, he'll still have only won by £100 over the £12k or whatever you put in. That's how it works.
On the flip side of all that, hope you do get it, cool looking car
