A sad parting Craig but he must be keen to travel all that way. I'm sure the Scottish contingent will see that it is looked after !!, and us 'southerners' will keep an eye on any posts too, as no doubt you will!.

Hi Craig, sorry to hear about the Scorp mate. As said already, if the new owner came all that way for the car I’m sure they are going to look after it well. I really admired how much time and effort you put into your Scorp, I too am having to come to terms that I’m going to have to sell mine as it's looking impossible to get it to the states. Anyway Craig hope to see you from time to time on the board

Take care mate

Hmm... I was watching your Scorp on e-bay Craig, but what happened at the end. Made you an offer you couldn't refuse?  ::)

Hope you got a decent figure for it though mate. You deserve it  8)

Glad to see you're going to keep abreast!  :D

john (the new owner),phoned me thursday evening and expressed a big interest (as he was from scotland,i honestly thought nothing of it in the end),anyway he phoned back on friday,first with an offer (what was posted in the auction),then secondly telling me he had managed to get a bus ticket for saturday,and could i please meet him at bristol coach station :o :o
the rest is history as they say

Cool   8)

I often wonder what the guy overtaking was thinking.  ::)
By the time he got level with you, it was probably "Why's that idiot only doing 40 in this lane? Move over!"

I also remember (despite the relatively low speed) how much it took Maddy by surprise when she popped her head out of the window!  :D
