have commented on how much of a bargain something is at the price
you're asking, someone has to offer you even less by a fair margin
for it?

Yes... a new record low offer on the VTEC: 'sounds like you want it
shifted
mate, I'll give you £250 for it and remove this weekend'.

And no... it wasn't SteveH who offered this.

Tomorrow, in the absence of the 106, I and my mate are be mostly
dropping the driveshaft out of that... and if the Mk3 Rover 200 CV
joint I have in the back garden fits, I are be driving the fucker
this week in an attempt to
reduce the current '£23 per mile driven since conversion'
depreciation factor...

Really cant believe no one has snapped it up, that really sucks!
I'll swap it for 4 volvo alloys, 4 swift steels, a rusty exhaust and
a gas BBQ - how's that?

Ooh... tempting!

Hopefully if you can get the driveshaft sorted you might be able to
put it up for a bit more and recoup a bit more money.

No 'might' about it - as a sorted runner, it's worth a tad more, and going
to attract more than dreamers with a glint in their eyes, and an assortment
of moths in their wallets. ;-)

I'd spend a bit of time writing a good ebay auction for it IIWY.
Especially if
you can get it driveable this weekend!

We'll see.

If I bother to get it to drive, I'll probably sort the rest of it.

The main thing is, I've managed to twist my mate who helped me into doing it
in the first places' arm, into having another crack at getting it sorted -
he's got the welder etc., so the mount stands a chance of getting done as
well.

Wouldn't be a bad line up to have on the drive really - VTEC and Rallye. :-)

I do need a half sensible diesel as a workhorse really though, so probably
will let this go one way or the other.
