Wow Dean, that is good news!

Agree. Judging by the garage staff at my local Sainsbury's you might have failed to demonstrate an appropriate level of customer contempt. :lol:

I cant believe that some people would pay 15k for a Minor!

I love them, but 15k? even if it was concourse, I still wouldnt pay 15k.

Arthur - it's an old car, and Arthur sounds like an old mans name.

My dad's previous were called Doris (trav) and Brian (saloon).

a better way of looking?

How do all. Whenever I see people posting reg numbers to look for cars, it gets me thinking that there must be a better way of doing this, as someone is only going to reply if they happen to see your post, and to save trawling through the forums.
