At the auction..

Unread post by mbunting »

At the auction in Chesterfield tonight, there was a nice looking 405 (curved dash) petrol which only bid to about 150.

There was also ( which I had my eye on ) a 5dr ZX 1.9D - very good condition internally and externally - pretty new tyres all corners, spare unused, clean, straight, two lady owners, plenty of mot.

They came around to starting it up, and I made sure I was 'in the area' - and it started on the button, no smoke, no roughness.

I asked the guy to pop the bonnet, I undid the radiator cap - the car enthusiastically responded by washing my hands, mouth, nose and glasses with high pressure coolant :o ( it was coolant, not water, and luckily it was cold !).

Needless to say, soaked, I put the cap back on, shut the bonnet, and let the driver take it into the hall, and it bid to around 400 #-o
