It's all a blur to me. Hold on, looks like you are correct - the red line's on the left.

Re: Another bargain!
engine must turn in the opposite way,
with the hilux you have to look past dented bodywork and just be sure it has its original engine then its good, quite an easy machine to buy, once your sure of that fact you can enjoy bombproof reliability.

Just out of interest:steve_earwig wrote:This one was only a tiny tiny one but started to get real big in the last year or so, still only about a quarter of an inch, so I don't think I'll miss it.
Was pretty obvious though, it was on my neck and with the big dressing I've got on it now it looks like I should be grabbing up the crucifixes and garlic

By Wednesday I was in agony so I ripped the huge dressing off and that's all it was, the dressing. The wound itself is fine

Don't they sell shavers in Croatia
Looks a bit red where the dressing was, typical where the plaster hurts more than the cut

I don't think they put anything on it so, by elimination, it's a bruise.

Re: Another bargain!
still though you can have a big fast merc that sounds good, an old merc couldnt be as hard to keep running as an old jag or roller.

Re: Another bargain!
Offers? *checks loose change in his pocket* Hmm, 12 Kuna and a shopping trolley token, that'll do.
I'm told Mercedes Bends can manufacture parts for ANY old Merc, it'll cost you plenty though.

Re: Another bargain!
they have huge stocks of spare parts, even if they may be expensive they would be top notch quality.

Re: Another bargain!
The 1st Merc is "£3330.00 The car is for sale for three thousand three hundred and thirty pounds. £330 P/X considered. "
Looks like they mucked up the price as well as the mileage.
Hate that "offers" thing. Just list a price! Obviously they have a price in mind, if you phoned them up and offered them £20 they'd probably put the phone down
Seriously tempted by a big merc now though...
