spotted Craigs motor on a trailer being towed by the MTS van down the M4,

looked alittle high at the front so im guessing there wasnt an engine sitting in the bay.


anyone know whats happening with it? looks mega clean.

 

He has sold that escort stunning car

 

really? I didnt know that. his plate is still on the car.

 

Was sold awhile ago, not sure why he hasnt got the plate back though

 

Craig seemed like a canny lad.Another good lad who got banned.

 

He said a while ago he was after mark barbers car, guy in my street bought it drove once and parked it up in his front garden. It's been sold on now so hope it went to Craig as it was getting wasted sitting where it was.

 

Not as far as I know mate... Craig bought his old featured 3dr back though.

Craig has sold this car , he didnt buy marks car the new owner of the escort has had a bit of bother with the engine but craig has kindly gave him a very decent chunk of money to sort it which is very good of him i doubt i would have been that generous because of how unpredictable cossies are.

 

Sold as seen Carlo, i'm with you, sounds harsh i know BUT knowing Craig i'd be pretty confident he didn't know about any engine troubles etc...

 

Engine was sweet pete craig gave tom 2 thousand pounds towards the repair i think thats very decent of him i mean if your keeping the engine standard spec thats more than enough ! ive had cossies last a week before but never once thought about asking for anything back just take it on the chin for driving daft

 

That's not quite the story I heard from the guy who bought the car.

 

Oh you tease!

Carry on...

 

Dan what did you hear ?

 

*gets a seat*

 

come on dan

 

As far as I know the car was sold in good faith that the engine was the spec as described and after Tom checking the car over and driving it he was happy. Sadly the engine let go not long after he got the car, and as Carlo said Craig offered some cash back to help cover costs.
Im with Carlo that I really dont know if I would have done the same as Craig, yes you would feel bad for the new owner but these are old cars and with any tuned engine it can go from running sweet to a box of bits very quickly.

 

I don't want to add to the 'Chinese whispers', and as I've only heard one side of the story, it would be wrong of me to further inflame the situation.

 

Why are you being like this, you bender.




Cheers,

Because

a) I only know half the story and
b) it annoys nosey people like you!

 

Well..

a) Half is better than nothing.
b) I can completely identify with this.
c) See point A.

Dan pm me what you know?

Dan best not getting involved if you dont know the true story and mts with a cossie ..............seriously

 

FFS you two, just drop it..

 

I see the threads coming along nicely, lol

 

was that the reason you made the thread?

 

Any1 to give some 1 £2000 back after selling a car is too much of a nice guy IMO ,

Check a car for 3 hours then buy it , then it goes tits up , it's the boys problem not craigs So for craig to give the boy 2 grand back there shouldnt need to be any other side to the story, I heard the car running was sweet as a nut and more than likely was when they done the deal ,

Every 1 knows cossies go bang at any time .

 

And to be honest I reckon this post should be removed , otherwise it will just cause your usual passionford bitching post , and people falling out over nothing , the car went wrong on the new owner and the previous owner generously gave him a good amount of cash he never had to, should be the end of it .

 

no not at all, i had no idea the car had been sold on.

I was on my way back from pembrokeshire after a family camping trip and spotted the car on the back of an MTS van on the M4.

it seems the thread has opened a can of worms

 

I dont see why it should be removed, it was a genuine intrest of mine after seeing the car on the back of trailer,

I only wanted to find out what the plans where for the car as it seems to be sitting high at the front, thought it might have been in for upgrades or something. i had no idea that the new owner had some bad luck with the car

 

A heard the new owner fitted a manual boost controller at the bottom of Craigs street so he could get back home in time for Allo Allo

 

shit happens lol

 

This thread should be removed as it causes shit and makes folk out to be cunts Craig was more than decent giving the guy two grand back if it was me the warranty would be over as u left my street its an old ford ffs

 

i had to swallow all my cars issues from when i bought it.wasnt the money that was the big issue as such.it was because i bought off a mate(ex now) and the fact i never got a sorry at all!!!

craig is a sound bloke though and what he has done doesnt suprise me.

 

Yeh he's a decent guy and try's to help folk out no point makin the guy out to be something he isnt

 

your lucky your not on the esc cos forum insinuating such things! i got abuse from some skinny slap head(ooooo soooo scared) and banned....well i can't log in anymore,so i'm assuming that...so much for giving an opinion in a general disscussion forum...

 

cause your an idiot Robski!!! u best be careful your playing with fire!

 

Robski you're a brave guy. Someone sound enough to give a buyer back £2000 after hearing he's had problems is going to have a lot of friends. I'm one of them and you'd do well to go and hide under a pile of coats somewhere until this blows over. Poof.

 

Looks like robskis in a bit of bother haha
