I've already checked out the flights - I was going to go via luton, then catch the train to Crawley, pick up the car and then drive down to Chippenham (don't ask :-) ) stay in the travel lodge at Leigh Delamere, and then drive back up to Scotland the following day. BUT 1. There are no certificates for the LPG conversion, it isn't on the LPG register, and the log book makes no mention of LPG. 2. The seller has only driven it about 5 times for a distance of 5 miles - so he would recommend I get RAC cover. 3. He's a dealer rather than a private seller The only previous time I've bought a car unseen turned out to be a complete disaster, so I've bottled it :-) But knowing what an idiot I am, I wouldn't be surprised to find my finger hovering over the bid button tomorrow :-) |

Listed on the LPG register really doesn't matter. I have had an 850 T5 which was not listed but then neither is the Grand Voyager they have listed the Jeep Cherokee but not the Voyager nor the earlier V70's. It is a very strange set of criteria used by "the register". You need only notify the DVLA of it's dual fuel status and I am sure you could get any competent LPG company in Scotland to check it over and issue a certificate.

Damn, got outbid on the black LPG V70.
Serves me right for being a tight wad, but I was also considering the collection and repairs costs into my bid. Haven't defected to a Mundane O yet, but I've got my eye on a diesel V70 not to far away. |

Oh hard luck. I was watching it to see if you got it. Didn't think it was you because the guy who got it was also bidding on quite a few other cars.

I had my bid prepared, and was waiting to place it in the last 10 seconds when I noticed it had gone to £770, which was about £15 quid more than I was going to bid. But my method of sniping in the last few seconds means that you don't get the time to try a higher bid if it all goes pear shaped. |

join bidnip.com I never sit there and bid. I simply tell bidnip what my Maximum is and it bids for me in the last 7 seconds BUT if you have told it too little you cannot change it once the last 4 minutes have begun to tick away. I have looked dodn here for you but there is nothing at the moment.

Come on man, dust your sporran off, get your kilt on and go have a look at it. It's this side of Hadrian's Wall so there's no fear of falling off the edge of the world. Sounds like a good 'un even if it aint as quiet as my LPG one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimcoted = Superman?
You ever thought of going into car sourcing and sales Jim?
Reckon our tame McTavish will be Volvo mobile thanks mostly to your efforts! While you're at it, could you find me a 244GLE, a 164TE, an S80T6, and a nice V70 D5 - all autos, all in perfect order, and all for under a £1000? Oh, and all within Yorkshire, and all personally chauffered to my home address by Kate Winslet? Cheers Jack |

Shouldn't be too hard that!!!!
Severely disappointed with McCatflem though. Spent hours searching for the ideal car for him, found the silver one a mere couple of hours bike ride away from him, it's mostly down hill, and he hasn't even gone to look at it. Where are the jocks of old? Rob Roy would have saddled up an Angus or two charged off, bought the V70, roasted the now redundant bovine tied it to the roof and had it in Aberdeen that night for dinner while admiring his silver diesel V70 glinting in the Scottish moonlight while over the road McCatflem was busy sticking another bit back onto the Mondeo!!
