Thursdays channel 5 new classic car program with Quentin Wilson and Jodie Kidd (It could do without her) on Thursday evenings. Enjoy. Mike

It may well be that the average LS owner could be of more mature (4/5 on the Waitrose Chedder cheese scale) years than the GS owner and therefore have more time on our hands while your GS owner is out there being a go getter. Yes I know, I'll put my coat on. Mike

What a strange way to spend money with ebay.

Did I dream all this? Mike.

Its gone, how weird. Mike

I'm stumped. No buy it now.

Typical motortrader hasnt a clue what hes selling.

If you now declare now after knowingly telling the insurance company there had been an accident they wont look favourably at your proposal being squeeky clean but as a dishonest proposer. Insurance companies use databases they all have access too this information. Lots of them use lie detecting software which isnt falable but it all stacks up their armamant of tools to catch you on the most honest of mistake. I have been asked the questions have you had any etc in the last 5 years and I have said yes and then they proceed to tell me what it was. Its heavily stacked against you these days to answer any insurance question dishonestly either by accident or for other reasons.

Its a great shame that such a rare car is being sold with such lousy pictures, that said what you can make out looks good. Mike

Sadly I go back to the 50s but I did have the 60s to look forward too and I do remember some of it. Mike

My first ever job was a Saturday job at a little garage in Ickenham Middlesex (2 mentions for Middlesex in the same week on the LOC) and I served petrol it was One shilling and Sixpence a gallon. I only earnt 2 bob for the day. How times have changed. Mike

Crikey does that include auction charges? Far more than I thought it would go for. Mike

Sorry to hear that I know exactly how you feel. Mike

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTZ59j7hIlk Just unbelievable that they actually risked a ferry and all on board to earn a few Euros. Health & safety, I bet that wouldnt happen at Dover. Well would you risk your LS? Mike

Well spotted lets hope an LOC member gets it. Mike

Hi Chewy. I hold you in high regard as it takes alot for someone to admit they were possibly wrong, especially on a public forum, you could have said nothing as I didnt have the will power to go through their website. Mike

I am sorry for your loss. Seriously though that is well out of order. Even places in Hampshire that dont have any competition around them they are well under 60p a litre. Mike.

Mine turned up today alltogether and they are definately not seconds. I contacted Falken and they do not allow seconds out of their manufacturing plant. When you think about it they are a high performance tyre and the thought that they might have allowed seconds out into the market would be commercial suicide. Mike

There is nothing wrong with budget tyres but they always put me off a car when I see them fitted. (just how I feel about them) The drivers seat looks well tired for only 111K the wheels look in a bad state. I cant point to a single thing that puts me off the car its just a general feel that comes across from the pictures (no picture of steering wheel) and the description. If I was looking for one I wouldnt have this on my list to go and see. Mike

The exhaust problem could have been where the v section which has always been a problem had gone and instead of having the knowledge that you can get this repaired they were told you have to have the whole system replaced. Mike

No. Next time I go I will get it for 43p then its back to 53p and then the cycle starts again, still works out as a no brainer for LPG over petrol. Mike

That has to be a genuine mistake. We all make them. Mike

Calor Gas station (no petrol forcourt) at Mortimer Station. I explained in an earlier post that it is 53p a litre and for regular customers they run a scheme that each time you visit you get a 1p off per litre per visit adding up to 10p a litre when you go back to 1p off and start all over again. Well worth it when you are running 3 cars on LPG. Mike

It's the same car that was on ebay in December!! It's a different colour but same reg - i still have the December listing in my summary listings. Pretty poor respay by the look of things! Ah!! It does say they have taken the wrap off.

Best of luck and enjoy your new exsperience of LS motoring. Mike
