Does your head in mate. Ive just sold my old mans Jcb. It was one of the first from the early 60's. His cousin had the same one but it was shagged so 20 years ago makes him an offer to buy it for spares, but he turned it down saying she's a good workhorse and all that,and ive been there 2 years ago and he changed the subject when my Dad mentioned buying it. Bearing in mind my Dad has borrowed all the buckets he had for it including the front and never payed him a penny . Wheres the sense in it? To this day she sits rusting away in his field minus cab.

someone with an s1 near me, thats been sat up on wheel ramp thingies for years and years. I first saw it 3-4 years ago and it look like it had been sitting that long at least then. So what does the owner do? Go out an buy a brand new focus st instead of spending money on a future classic

Shame to see a car like that, but it looks like it will be significant ball ache to get that in good condition again.
