I think I need therapy. I went to the auction with a friend who is looking for an 800 quid car to replace an ancient ford fusion with a slipping clutch and only 2 months test which will be destined to the scrapper. We were highest bidder on a really nice 75000 mile pug 207 1.4hdi but it was conditional and the seller wouldn't accept it. In the meantime while they were phoning the owner of the 207 this berlingo came through. Berlingo of that age and mileage are being advertised for 7 to 800 so the plan is use it for a few months, test it and flog it.

Yes, that's the only auction around here now. It needs tyres but I have a set of alloys with good tyres which will go on. There's one or two marks on it, but no rust and nothing major on past mot's.

The 8 spoke wolfrace which were on the activa for a while. 4 next to new tyres on them. 17 inch, they were on my last berlingo for a while.

I've not driven it any distance yet, just from the auction compound to the public car park. I shall collect later and report how it drives.

Quite similar to my reaction when I awoke the morning after Les dropped White off here. In my half-asleep state I had quite forgotten it was outside until I opened the curtains, coffee in hand! :rofl2: Although it was less of an "awwww f@@@" moment than an "awwww yeah 8-) " moment TBF
