got her running today, 1st time in a while lol
got mot booked for wednesday,will tax it 1/4/06. * passed too *

getting lots of "time wasters" with cash offers but then cant find the money again,must have huge holes in their pockets in which case they need to buy new trousers and not my S1 !

O well it only takes 1 genuine buyer to put it all right i suppose,

 

Hi,thinks its time for a update,
took the car out today for the first time since sept last year and flew through its new mot !!! nice
84809 miles recorded,when i bought the car in april 1999 it had covered 64064 recorded miles,car still drives great and picks up stronger than even with the cold air this time of year.

gone ALL pioneer this time.

 

Sorry dude - not into that. Looks like you jsut went mad with the ripspeed catalogue or something

 

lol
it is very unique
each to their own,but imagine what life would be like if we all looked the same and thought the same
how boring

the old girl is taxed now too

 

Hello mate just been looking at your mad s1 . What paint did u use and how did u prepare the floors and when they look like yours if u take your car for a blast down the roads what and hows the best way to clean the dirt off the floorsand what cleaner do u use cheers fella

 

hi mate,i completly srtripped the under side
the "stone chipped" it all white
the i used a white gloss coach enamal i got form halfords
its made by jenolite the markers of the rusr eater stuff.
its murder to clean when it gets too drity u really have got to keep on top of it !!
i use envirosol to clean the underside its and industrial cleaner for floors and degreasers etc very good stuff to
but must be diluted well !

thanks for the comments

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MESE%3AIT&rd=1

 

So who bought thsi car in the end then

Who ever did defo got a nice car

 

hoping to sort that out soon but i am away for the weekend it was booked weeks ago
lol
went too cheap in my eyes but the first hint of non sence and i will cancel the sale and readvetise etc

 

Matt
Can you give me the email of Craig pls: he commented on the car and said he had a D plate he was doing up. Cheers

 

hi mate if i can find his email addy i will of course send it to you

 

Cheers Matt.
Or check your ebay messages, and ask him to get in touch with me instead if it's easier

 

Woah, gone way to cheap imo but if its a good enough price for you both then thats all that matters.

You know you don't wanna sell her really matt

 

Wonder what happened to this car? I see from this thread it was sold (too cheap - anyone remember what it went for?) so I looked it up to see if it was still alive - reg check says it's SORN'd and MOT expired in 2017

What's funny though is if you run the reg through the gov MOT website, the earliest entry is the MOT Matt mentioned in post #95: MOT in 2006 with 84,809 mileage recorded, just as Matt said. But look at the rest of the MOT history, the milage drops down to 70k a couple years later and it's last MOT in 2016 was 75k
