Remember the clocks go back tonight and you don’t need an electric drill for this one.

The Lord giveth with one hand and taketh with the other....

Stink boats ?

WiFi enabled so you can put the pics through Light room on your mobile if you don't have creative cloud on your PC, can also do videos to if you want to branch out. (you can probably get it cheaper elsewhere if you look around)

Actually I have a live example of what I mean. I sold a 2008 Audi A3 2.0 TFSI with 80k on 6 weeks ago. Chap gets in contact to say he’s using/losing oil/coolant. I point out to him that even Audi themselves state these engines use oil but that doesn’t explain the coolant. I ask him to check for smoke (nothing) then to put a piece of cardboard under his engine bay for a weekend and to give me a call on Monday and if it’s leaking i’ll get him booked in to my garage for a look. He doesn’t have a formal warranty with me by the way. He also mentions that the heater/ac blower has stopped working. Now, in theory i could easily point this out as working on the PDI and now 6 weeks later it doesn’t. The heater blower either works or it doesn’t. It did, now it doesn’t. I’m not liable to fix this as it’s clearly a fault that has developed and the consumer has been unlucky that it’s packed up. I believe I would stand an excellent chance of winning in court based on the age/mileage and pre sale process. I will of course, fix it for him, especially as he’s likely had an unpleasant shock at how much oil his engine uses and how he’s going to have to live with it, me fixing his blower will make him feel better. But strictly speaking from the law side of things, i’m confident i’m Not liable.

I'm not sure where the CRA stipulates I have to fix all faults on a car within 6 months. It's actually only for faults that were present on the car at the point of sale and surely a good PDi would take care of that

That and. Two happiest times for a boat owner, the day they buy it and the day they sell it

Could be several reasons: 1) Reserve met - await a cheque 2) Didn't get any bids - re-enter or collect 3) They haven't got around to calling you yet to discuss the provisional bid (albeit this is unlikely because they want the cars gone asap). Give it until Monday lunchtime and then ring. Option 1 or 2 most likely.

+1 Always and you will not go far wrong Key here surely has to be owning the land! Buy land they wont be making any more!!!

I used to do 6 races per week in my prime including National championships and also teach sailing if they want some help on their new yacht. Bloody expensive hobby but I have seen the light and sold my yacht, I now bare boat charter (rent) as I was told many years ago: If you want a boat, stand at the end of the jetty and chuck £50 notes in the water, one after an other. Or better still; If it flies, floats or fucks........rent it!

I noted this on another site...made me chuckle.

At £2.86 per minute I’m happy to discuss it

Would you take £1650?!

Sometimes it all gets a bit much

Think of all the money you will save on pointy shoes!
