PSSST...WANNA BUY AN AUTHOR'S MOTOR?

[robertrankin]

Ok, the bastards have done a number on me! I refer now to Brighton Council, who have flagged-up our street for their infamous parking scheme, which means that you have to cough up money to park outside your own home. Bastards! But, even greater bastardness, they are only allocating one resident's parking voucher per household, which means that either Raygun or I can't get one. And she needs her car more than I do and I have no wish to have to park my car in a non residents only area a bloody mile way.
So, anyone want to buy my car?
It's a black 2005 Chrysler Cruiser, whose name is Behemoth, with only 24,000 on the clock. I paid top dollar for it at the time, but I've had a look on the old internet and I reckon that £5500 (0r near offer) is all I'm going to get (and I still have some of the finance to pay off.. good grief!).
Mind you, I get a free bus pass next year, so bloody Brighton Council can pay for me to travel!

Thanks Tim god this is getting complicated...wanna buy a car?

[Timmeh!]

I'd love to, but what with fuel prices being the way they are, I'm sticking with the economy of the Golf TDi for belting up and down the motorway every day.

the Campbell offered to "steal it" and take it over to Devil's Dyke in the company of a can of petrol for insurance purposes, but I think I'll pass on that one.
I'll bet second hand cars are going to be selling VERY CHEAP in the next year

Unfortunately, i do not - as of yet - have a licence to drive, plus that kind of car isn't what i'd (or any insurance company) consider suitable for a first car... and i don't have £5k to hand right now, so sorry, Robert. I'm sure someone around here could give it a good home

Non-driver here, sorry.

[robertrankin]

This isn't helping, someone out there must need a car....I expect there will be a big rush later this evening.
Hm....

Damn I would love to have that car. Love the PT Cruiser as much as I love the Ford Puma i currently drive. Feck me I am SOOOOOO tempted..... Not too sure how much I would get foir mine though.... Say £1000 ish... that means I would have to raise $4500 more or less.... Bugger bugger bugger. I WANT IT!!! ITS BLACK TOO!!!! Tres gothic. Let me discuss with the good lady...

[robertrankin]

It's got blacked windows at the back and still has the big skull on the front from the wedding. There might be a pic of it on the lostcarpark site, it's certainly on the wedding DVD. So, yes, it's about as Goth as you can get.
I am going to miss it.

Robert old mate, I have sent you a personal message thingy in the sproutlore mail thing. Have a peek at it. The wife is ok about me buying yer car.....

GROOVEY!!!!

SOLD TO THE RED DRAGON>
That's the fastest bit of business I have ever done in my life.
Now I will have to go and have a little cry and maybe give my car a cuddle.
And a wax.

SHIT! ANYONE WANNA BUY MY CAR...nowhere near a s cool as RR's but hey, worth a shot...actually maybe selling it on here in the wake of Robert's fantastic deal is perhaps not such a good idea.

This brings me rather swiftly to the point of selling my car..... 1998 Ford Puma. 1.7 ltr zetec engine. Nice motor. Goes like stink and is pretty cheap to run. Just gone though its MOT and got two new tyres, new exhaust. Silver paint. Nice car all over. Yours for £2000 or near offer.
