<< I am colchester.... why? interested....? >>

Might have been if you had said Chester instead of Col... , ORB. My g-daughter is having her driving lessons and might have liked such a thing.

Sold!

Yes teacher!

Moi?

But you do give some tips. That is the 3rd one i have sorted now for elderly friends.

The ones I helped to buy, I did it for absolutely nothing, and this I just gave her the asking price. an afternoon cleaning and polishing, and a bit of pocket money.

Buyer offered £50 less than i asked, so one month road tax deducted and a tiny bit 'cos i added it to my policy for 3 days ...

The service history with it was unbelievable, but true.

Hat well and truly doffed to you ORB, a gentleman.

Thank you,

But it is the ones who say I wished I had listened to you.. that make me smile.

Some that did listen,

Dog walker friend 83, stopped driving after 2 speeding tickets in 2 weeks, (by the way, the policy was very near the end, and her insurance company said refund £18.. admin fee £30, but waived the fee and refunded her.)

Dog walker friend 80 year old replaced 19 year old Corolla (rust and gearbox failure) with venga,

84 years old neighbour replaced 18 year old Rover 25 (with HG failure) with 2010 Kia rio,.

Couple bit younger than me didn't by a new LR disco sport diesel for short runs locally, (2 lovely purebred German Shepherds) in spite of the salesman cursing me when i went with them and asked him to put it in writing that DPF problems and oil dilution would be covered. They got instead an outgoing model E320 estate at a fabulous discount on almost sensible tyres.
