I closed the front door and left them there. The funniest thing was they stood there for 15 minutes, presumably waiting for me to re-appear, then had an argument about something, then drove off. Most amusing. I’m sure it made you feel good, but it’s a wonder you didn’t get your windows put in, either the car or your house. I don’t really see how inviting someone to your house & then pi$$ing them off is a great idea. Not sure I'd do it now, this was a few years ago.

Quite a common one with D20 Navaras at the moment. Engine in bits in the back and people are still paying £1000 for them. Madness!!! . I replied "OK, come and get her". A few hours later two cocky kids turned up, having driven 80 miles to my house. "Nah, just kidding, it's £2000" I told them. Did I feel guilty for wasting their time? Nope. Perhaps the funniest thing I've heard today, and something I'd love to fond myself in a position to try. I closed the front door and left them there. The funniest thing was they stood there for 15 minutes, presumably waiting for me to re-appear, then had an argument about something, then drove off. Most amusing.

"Future classic" in an advert is a NOPE from me, plus "just needs....", "ice cold air con", "probably just...." and "selling for a friend". All nope. So many good cars for sale, no need to deal with idiots

From the other side of the coin my fave is a text that solely reads "WHATS YOUR BEST PRICE M8?" instant delete... Worse than that on facebook selling a car for £850 . 200 Thats it - not even a pound sign or ' would you take ' etc I had people messaging me over a few hours asking me loads of questions sounding really interested and then they would say ' thing is i only have £150 ' . I had that once. It really annoyed me. Car was £2000, no px, no offers without viewing first. I got "500" by text, said no. Then "600" from the same number which I ignored, then "650 and px a Fiesta diesel" from the same idiot. I replied "OK, come and get her". A few hours later two cocky kids turned up, having driven 80 miles to my house. "Nah, just kidding, it's £2000" I told them. Did I feel guilty for wasting their time? Nope.

Thanks Keithy. I attempted to sign up but got lost somehow. Lots more pics and stuff over on MotorPunk if anyone is interested, but here's a quick overview so far... Take one Alfa... take out the interior and sort of get a FREE 20BHP! (dodgy man maths to do with the PWR).. then chop up some pipe ... employ a massive Bender* ... make sure it's not skew-whiff ... and fix this new roll cage in with a sparkly stick ... *I do hope he's not reading this More here. Next stop - DONCASTER!

A quick post; the chaps at Garage Sinister stuck a roll cage in my Fiat Tipo Alfa GTV V6 recently, there'll be a magazine feature and some YouTube fun to follow in due course. A genuinely hard-working, likeable crew they are, too. Recommended. More to follow.

tdk - That is gorgeous. Must be on a private plate now as DVLA haven't got it listed? Ta. I sold it, J30 ... is a private plate (mine) but it's now back on the original plate L131 somethingsomething, sold to a nice chap in Kent, then up for sale by a specialist somewhere again recently I believe. One of a few made, a wonderful thing to drive, but the funds from selling it paid my mortgage off (that's how stupid Porsche prices have gotten now).

This. It was a bit of a grouch around town but utterly bloody lovely on the open road. I miss it...

^We had a Kia Picanto for a while, new one, I rather liked it.
Worst car to drive? I've driven loads of odd stuff, but the worst is something more common - LR Defender. Steering, brakes, engine, it's all, unremittingly, wretched.

I used to regularly borrow a Passat 1.8 petrol with 420k km on the clock and drive up into remote mountains in Norway with my young kids in the back, minus 20, snow tyres, bodywork rotting off but the mechanicals all good.

VAT is payable on older cars, too? I thought only new. Makes a "cheap" import suddenly 20% more expensive then...
