BEWARE EBAY
This should bring a smile to everyone's face.
Yesterday Keith P told me about a QB he'd seen on Ebay 232103998239 & knowing I was looking for one from my wanted add he let me know.
So it was bought for the buymenow price of £100 about right for a south coast motor from an area where there is little fresh water.
So at 11.30 AM this morning, I jump in the car & off I go, off to Newhaven East Sussex, get there about 2PM, meet the vendor (ADYSIM) who offers to show me it running, only to be shown a CPCL sitting in a water butt, when I insisted this wasn't the motor in the pics on the add, even though it did have a plastic tank.
It turned out to be a clerical error, I'm told!
Well at least I did get to have a 190 mile drive in Friday afternoon traffic, Magic.
Thanks Keith!
When the revolution starts,the name on top of the list for the firing squad, will be KeithP!
P.S. got home at 5.30

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Was this the Motor you "bought" Charles, the seller has re-listed it with the correct photos, at least it's got what looks like a new head gasket with a touch of sealant!!
190 miles.......

Re: BEWARE EBAY
Now there's a very welcome post, good to see you back AJ!
I've made several attempts to contact you by email via Allegra, did you get them or am I using the wrong address?
Glad your back!
