scarlett 0 Posted November 4, 2005 hi guys... might be a longshot but i thought i'd ask anyway... would anyone in the Blackpool area be able to go view a C for me i am thinking of purchasing? its a bit of a long trek for me to make if it doesnt suit (though i dont doubt what the seller says about condition etc) and i'd quite like a thirdpartys view on it if poss.... will provide golden beer tokens as well as the chance to look at a lovely Rado.... :lol: :wink: drop me a pm if poss and i'll get back to you as soon as i can get online again!!! cheers!!

scarlett 0 Posted November 4, 2005 yup - Sambo's is the one! its the car I want my current C to look like... but if he's selling it then why not.....? :) stanbates would be forever in debt to ya mate if you could, would cover petrol costs etc.... tho if osv says its a goodun then really whos to argue, he obviously has great taste in rados.... and walsey, the Borbets aint on it.... i have my own set of new wheels to be going on it...... and how do u know bout Daves fetish...? (tho, if u really want another rado, I may have one spare in a few weeks... much cheapness....) :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 24v 0 Posted November 6, 2005 Scarlett, Car looks good :) There is a small scuff on the bottom of the rear bumper, and thats about it really. It goes well, started first time, no smoke, and pulls really well (I reckon it would be close to my VR ;)). All electrics work, and for the price I think its worth it. If there is anything else, just give me a shout. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
