Admin Vista Posted June 4, 2007 Admin Report Posted June 4, 2007 I've never done it, but on my rounds I keep seeing an XR4x4 in a barn. I'm too shy to go and ask about it. There is also an Anglia shaped tarpaulin in someone's driveway when I go into another client. Rounds?? Clients?? Dare I ask what you do?? Just kidding, I already know

MK II Mark Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 Theres a guy round my way with a mark 2 escy two door in his garage, I have made enquiries about it via a third party and have been reliably informed that he won't sell it as he doesn't want it to be turned into a rally car... I might drop a note through the door and turn up with my car to assure him that would be just turned into a tastefully modded fast road car

Silverback Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 Got to say I've never knocked on anyone's door before, but after having my Mk1 for literally 3 weeks and 1 day I've already had two people turn up to my work place and ask if I'd fancy swapping cars (Ford Focus & Sierra Cosworth). The 4th day I owned the car I had a guy come into the Chinese when I was having a meal with the missus, and asked if it was for sale......
Gareth Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 I've knocked on a few doors, that's how I came by my Cortina I normally just get(Imagine beer breath, and lots of slurring): "It's full on stage 2 heads, and it'll do 155mph.I want £400 for it." That was a 2.8i that had benn sat on grass & hadn't been taxed since 1999
lee_capri Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 wish somebody would knock on my door might be able to sell mt scrape
escortmad79 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 Went looking for the Mk2 Cortina earlier, they've built a garage now so I'm hoping the Tina's in that as their Rover was on the drive way!
