Looking great - am I right in saying the photos were not taken today? It's been raining all day so far in Norfolk where I am currently!

Almost correct Nivek Old Gold . £2600 ?? that sounds way too much for this car . You forgot to add the fact that HPI came up with stolen. It also appears to be made of two cars cleanly cut through the middle and welded - bit like the RAF’s Chinooks ! 😂

Taken last two weeks. Completely like November here today and they say this corner of Kent is the Uk’s only desert 😳

I guess I’m missing it…. Looks like a nice car for £2600 rupees or whatever…

Is it really built from two cars?

That auction price is so low that I wondered if it was a typo.
But here it is again.
And it appears to have looked very good at the time of sale in 2006.
Although the MoT expiry date of 2014 seems incompatible with an auction date of 2006.

Looks like someone got one Hellofa good deal there!

I give up. I am a new member and I posted some photos in members cars. Keith suggested they were moved to general so everyone could see them. Zac Marshall moved them and there was no mention that I had to add spiel. I posted these few more today in general and get ribbed for no spiel. I can’t win. I am exceptionally dyslexic and had to get someone to help me type this and previous remarks.You state you are a friendly club on the front of your website. I haven’t seen much friendliness yet !

Oh, don't give up!

You can have loads of fun on here.
And this is a memorable way for you to start, by presenting us with a puzzle!

😀

Congratulations on your purchase of what looks like a very nice car.

Dyslexia didn't stop Jackie Stewart from being talented, rich, and famous, and I wish the same for you.

Regards,

Adrian Harlow

I second Adrian’s post, it is a friendly place lots of people with a similar interest in nice cars and all the things that make life worth living.

I must admit that your posts confused me, most of us know the cars values etc and the photos posted seemed odd, I guess the auction write up was from years ago as the consideration was less than a very rough parts car would be these days.

However congratulations on buying into a great car and club, I hope it gives you a lot of fun times and few problems although they can be a b**** sometimes.

Regards

John

Sorry for any offence caused. We are all like a bunch of kids when it comes to our enthusiasm for our cars, and like kids, we do enjoy a bit of banter.

There is no forum "rule" about how many words you have to post, so just smile and ignore any friendly jokes about it.

Looking forward to more of your excellent posts in the friendly club forum.
