Default been a very long time.

just having a lazy day at home and someone sent me a message about an old sapphire i used to own. this got me looking through all old pics and sites and ive ended up here.
i used to be a daily regular on here and sold quite a few cars to people on here-mainly cossies/rs turbos.
wonder how many of you who still come on here from back in the day remember me???

sadly i lost all my money in the hard times of the recession and no longer drive lovely fast cars any more.....but im happy and skint!

Alright Jay.
Sorry to hear things didn't go to well.
We still meet at the Mascrat (now called something! farm) 2nd and 4th Wednesday, pop down for a catchup if you get chance
Still amazed at the rapid rate you hustled that stripped out M3 round Oulton.

I know that feeling mate working on cars for a living kind of kills the enjoyment out of maintaining an old car for sure!
