jst been on a 7hr trip to see a crap cossie lol
left my house this morning about 10:30 to go 130 miles to bath to see a standard saff 70k on the clock FSH for 8k, finally got to bath at 3oclock due to traffic, and the standard mint saff had a big dent in the rear panel, rear passender door and drivers door didnt line up, no FSH, engine had greens/filter,dumpvalve and strut brace and no recpits at all for any stage 3'ing the car, or even setting it up, hasnt been serviced in 2yrs lol so , complete waste of time, fookin timewasters

Where do twats get off advertising cars when they blatently aren't in the advertised condition?!?!?! I don't get it - do they expect someone to turn up expecting to see a mint standard Saff, find a crappy badly modded and poorly maintained one and just say "oh well, I'll have it anyway"?
What explanation did he give Gra? I would have made him give me some fooking fuel money too for wasting my time!

Been there myself mate with a mint 200bhp Fiesta turbo I was plenty pissed to have driven from Hertfordshire into Wales to view a fucking nail with 11psi and paintwork that looked like it had been painted by a drunk Albanian with a bike pump

I bought my Cossie from someone in Bath, was the second 3dr I viewed. The first one was turned out to be a base Sierra being sold as a Cosworth Totally given away by the first four digits of the VIN, didn't even look at the rest of the car, cheeky fooker want top money for it too.
Guess I was lucky I didn't have to view loads of `em before finding a decent one

I'm doing a 110 mile trip tomorrow to go look at a gixxer 6 and i am so hoping it aint going to be a wasted journey and hopefully will be riding it back another 110 miles.
There are 10 shit cars to the 1 good en when you go and look at cars, the only thing i cant understand though is that the shit ones still get sold so which lunatics are buying them???????????????

Makes me laugh what some peoples idea of mint is
You speak to them and some actually do beleive the car is how they described it.
IF anyone is unfortunate enough to come across this car H65 AAL run away very fast it's a nail

yeap, similar happened to me, i went to see a mint standard rst with no rust, i questioned why the battery tray was crumbling away, he said it isnt rust, its just a rusty colour
and it was lowered, and it had a filter/exhaust & A Boost gauge

Frome isnt that near Bath, but it is nicely in Somerset, so slap bang in the middle of inbred fuck land
Probably the same trader that sold Fudgey his 200SX, which was a super nail and they blatantly got an illegal MOT for that rusty POS

Think we should have a new section on here where people can post details of cars theyve been to look at so that anyone thinking about looking one can check the reg etc with the cars in there. Stavros I'm glad I didnt buy that 200sx then as I was thinking about it as it was dirt cheap
