Agreed. We flew to perth from sydney to see car. Guy was a bit odd, we were at the bank ready to transfer funds, where he was humming and haing the whole time. Eventually he parts with it, we freight the car back home, it was a resto job, did that, and sold it a few years down the track for a tidy profit - to the guy who sold us the car in the first place. Not only was he up for freight both ways, and the resto work, and our markup (market value for the vehicle changed significantly over the time we had it). I knew he was a bit soft in the noggin, but this is just silly.

Especially race cars. Mates Clubman race car looked good at first but it didn't take long before many problems appeared, it would have been better to have bought the car minus the engine and gearbox because it would have saved us the trouble of removing and scrapping them. The car is brilliant now but its taken a lot of time and money to get it that way. Daryl |
