Have good fun with the new car (and I do mean that in the right way). Do you know if it has the hydro pneumatic suspension?

Yes, it's not an X7, one of the last mk2's. I hope it's ok, there wasn't much details on the e-bay add, but I phoned the seller before I put in my bid.

That looks really good Davey! I like the C5 with C4 headlamps & the rear lights look great too. Very unusual in white, probably almost as much of a PIA to keep clean as black!

Looks ok on photos, and seller says mechanically sound. In Ayr, so not too far to travel, train costs £36 and takes 5 hours, and I'll drive home from there in 4 hrs. Just a nice day out. Best, bit, the price. Less than a grand, even with train down and diesel home and a chippy supper! Bad bit, MOT only to mid june. Now does anyone want a C2 with the fullest service history ever seen, a newly repaired gearbox, new battery and broken front springs? Free new springs included but not fitted

I'll give you £39.50 and another chippy supper for the C2.

And I wouldn't be surprised if, whilst he was doing this, someone insisted on parking their car next to his whilst there were plenty of spaces elsewhere in the car park.

That's normal around here. It seems that cars feel lonely if parked on their own...

Davie, good luck with the new motor

Hope it's all OK..

For the first time in 33 years, I do not own a car.

daviemck2006 · Post by **daviemck2006** » 16 May 2014, 23:00

The C2 at 4 pm this afternoon after a clean and before it got sold. 2nd time I have sold a car to a youngish lassie and 2nd time there has been no hassle. I told her the good the bad and the ugly, she loves it she hands over the asking price. Finished.

A sincere wish of a lot of us Davie...

I'd be happy without one...

She's a lucky lassie. That's a lovely job you did on the C2.

I agree wholeheartedly with Jim. They're a pain in the arse. Sadly they are necessary, so one might as well have something interesting.

If I could live without one, I would. I love cars, always have. Got to a stage in my life now where I just want transport. That is all. I don't want to drive everywhere at 150mph or go as fast as I can all the time, or spend too much time fixing stuff.

It's considerably cheaper and infinitley better than public transport though.
