if the car is as clean as it looks in the pics that's a cracking price for such a rare colour - especially considering the sellers! i'd be very tempted by that if i didnt have too many other things going on.

im having the opposite bud.. sold 2 items through ebay and buyers arn't paying up.. keep sending reminders and hoping not to have to file a dispute. Anyway today I decided it's now been a month and enough is enough. However you have to open a dispute within 32 days. Today is day 33. You cant even leave bad feedback for a non paying bidder!

Labrador puppies - how to start, any tips ??
bristolbaron replied to emu's topic in General Car Chat
do not get a lab if you don't want things eaten! -
i'm gonna go against the grain and say break it.. there's a lot of work to do and at the end of it it'll still just be a converted car with bad paint - value? £1000-£1500 max? Broken it'll be worth over £2k and probably take the same effort to strip and sell as it does to get it back on the road.

Are most rados generally past it / riddled with rust?
bristolbaron replied to Kenich's topic in General Car Chat
where are you based bud? my G60 is going to be up for sale soon. It's over budget at the moment as it has new charger, brembos, front mount etc, but could be worth a look if you're not miles away. I'm in Bristol. Baz -
great race, jumped off sofa with excitement at vettel's error.. ej is doing my head in too.. how many times did he bang on about the safety car start.. it was 5 hours ago, get over it. ---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ---------- oh.. and that double fall made up for the two hours of nothing!

where are you based bud? sounds like you need a local g60 owner to take a look round it..
-
if you don't find a blue one i've got a choice of red or white!

looking at checkout page their part of potn.co.uk so should be fine.. I've got trade accounts with GSF, ECP & TPS though so don't know how prices would compare to that, I can find out if you want?

Only 20 pictures in one for sale poste :(
bristolbaron replied to emu's topic in Site Comments and Questions
if you have a hundred items for sale they have to be on a hundred adverts so the buy it now option can be used.. -
i use these in bristol: http://uk.simsmm.com/contacts-and-locations rates change daily, but pretty good prices. problem with your car is it's light! i wouldn't expect to get more than £150 collection or if you dropped it off.. ebay it and see what happens.. someone will collect it.

Corrado owners wanting rid of an active rear spoiler! Whatever next.. I thought Monaco was a great race, there was talk about it being outdated and not fast enough for today's cars, however it's one I always look forward to - a very different challenge. Thing with lewis is he makes these brave [possibly foolish?] moves very often - which is a credit to him - and normally gets away with it.. When he doesn't he spits his dummy. I would have loved to have seen what happened if the race continued without a restart. being able to swap tyres meant it wasn't worth carrying on.
-
that looks like a cracking buy for someone..
-
unless someone lives next door to you, wants to pay cash and only wants one item, there's not much incentive to buy? halfords are offering 3 for 2, are local and don't charge for accepting paypal..

not very nice in two colour.. not so bad all silver, but still not a great wheel imo..

Domwells27's G60 - One year of ownership
bristolbaron replied to domwells27's topic in Members Gallery
looks great bud and happy birthday! -
I bought a facelift Octavia - 2000 onwards - panel yesterday and offered it up to the car. It physically fits, screws into place, sits well against the roof line, however it has a late 6 wire loom with a circular switch. the rado has a three wire loom with toggle switch. I couldn't work out a way of getting the wiring to work with the rado loom.. and if i did, then I'd still be left trying to fit the octavia panel to the rado panel which would involve a lot of cutting. I tried swapping the motors, however the octavia motor is offset and screws in with 3 screws, rather than the rados two so they wont swap. I went back to the breakers and swapped the unit for a manual Ibiza unit which fits with minimal effort. unfortunately it looks like only the pre facelift octavia unit will fit unless you are a genius with electrics - even then it'll still be an effort. it's a shame as the newer unit looks a lot better made, but it's too much for me to try and undertake.
