I've not had a bid for a while really, bought the 500's about a year ago i think.

I've been trying to get a couple of Volvo 850's I want a red estate and a yellow 850r so I can take the wheels off and add to the estate, but I don't wanna pay Ł100+ each just to make a replica of my own

The lui one I have been looking at for months lol. I should just buy it really.

I done a deal on worth and green GT Capri last night with a bloke from Italy. Ł150 euros delivered for both so I could have had a right result.

Or I could have lost Ł115... Better than blackjack odds I suppose...

Love that^


Ebonycossie4x4- good to see you went for it! Nice model that, will hold its value well. If you want to look at mk2 escorts, sunstar do a nice range of rally cars of them


Jason_nike- Very nice indeed, some real moneys worth there!
