I'm sporting a dodgy back and was told by a friend that a Suzuki Bandit would suit me

Re: Will no one rid me of this turbulent Pug?
Update: Once again we've been jerked about, that guy kept us dangling for 3 weeks (works on the coast, only home on Sundays) and yesterday texted Goran that he'd changed his mind and didn't want to trade 
There's been a few others, notably the Pegaso owner who texted us for a trade and then didn't bother answering the phone all weekend 
So we've just been to the cop shop to surrender the registration (and avoid a 700Kn fine 
) - what a fecking palaver, this form, that form, 2.5 quid, took us an hour (including dealing with everyone's favourite short-arse jobsworth bum hole who deals wit this stuff when he can be bothered).
I've no idea what to do now, I can't drop the price any lower as it's already over a grand cheaper than anything else. Bumholes.

Oh crap that's bad, sorry to hear all this
The crazy thing is, Peugeot reputation asside, whoever bought your car would be getting a *great* car which would cost no more to run than anything else around there. Tossers.

Ah but it's not a VW I could have got rid of it ten times over if it was something dull like a Glof.

Maybe I should swap the Peugeot badges for VW ones...

Re: Will no one rid me of this turbulent Pug?
That'd only be about 250 quid now the chancellor has devalued the pound by a quarter
Good news people - scone!!!
Sadly I only got 2,800 eurines for it (that's about 2,570 quid post chancellor virginity fingers), I was hoping for something over three but, after I'd noticed rust bubbling through the boot lid (que? ) and the guy waiving the cash under my hooter I decided enough was enough. I know how much good just sitting around does cars, maybe next year it'd be worth scrap value (hold on, that's not much less than I got anyway ).
And that other 1999 2.1 td estate for 5,800 is still for sale. Hell will freeze over first matey.
