I note that Ripley Motor Co still have the 2.5td Ultima that I enquired about for sale at £4995 as well.....

Point taken.

Only last week I managed to switch the computer on without any help from a third party! ;)

Second hand car dealers !

Doncha just luv em ? they live in a world of their own.

£12000!!! I wonder how much they gave the seller for it ?

" ( sharp intake of breath ), you'll be lucky to get £1500 for it Guv, 1994 ? no-one wants these old ugly gas-guzzling mutants mate, tell you what, and I'm cutting my own throat ( if only ! ) , I'll give you £1000 for it coz I like your face ."
