"..I think people tend to look and talk about the purchase of items they do not fully understand..."<br>
good description of me and Dolomites generally....<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rolleyes --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"><!--EZCODE ...

anyone seen that Green Sprint ?<br>
"Corrosion of chasiss rails the only reason for MOT failure"<br>
Oh, is that all ?<br>
seems he/she has "found" some rust on the sills and doors too.<br>
Seen plenty of bids though.

I think e-bay is a good place to find a car, though I'd never bid on a car based on the pictures and description alone. I usually phone to arrange a look, with the possibility of buying on the spot.<br>
Not sure if this is within e-bay rules but who cares ?

Nope, no luck. An informal get-together sounds good, but I may struggle to attend till I get mobile again.<br>
Do you know where the group used to meet ? I thought it was warrington !

had a look at an 1850 HL.At a traders near Rochdale.<br>
(type in M43 7HX on the auto trader website)<br>
Bar a hole in the boot (where the floor meets the OSR wheel arch) and being brown it was spot-on.<br>
But £2000 !!?? To be fair to the guy it was being sold on behalf of a friend so he couldn't ...

Sorry Andys.I misunderstood your question.I don't know any of the history of your (new) car.<br>
Dave,<br>
is it running okay now ?<br>
any chance of my taking a look ?

<p></p><i></i>

Andy,<br>
Says he has all the MOTs (& equivilants?) from new.He also said it he was the second or third owner from new.<br>
Dave,<br>
The car's a brown auto, the two things I'm keen to avoid.<br>
I'm not sure if I'll have a look just yet (should I buy a car I don't like ? may as well get a mk2 ...

is the gas expensive ?<br>
and would I have some huge flat-bed truck trying to negotiate small suburban streets when delivering replacement bottles ?!<br>
(also, not sure if my parents would approve of gas bottles in the shed...!)

<p></p><i></i>

Jeez, how many Brown Autos did BL make ? They're everywhere !! Anyway, 1850, 43 000 miles, ziebarted from new but no MOT.<br>
Bloke sounded genuine enough.<br>

you're thoughts/comments/observations, that's why we have a forum (of course).That's also why I "pop in" most days.I also appreciate that my opinions won't be worth all that mich untill I do finally get a Dolomite.<br>
<br>
So far I've looked at 2 cars.One an 1850 auto, the other a 1500 neither of ...

I wish my situation would allow me to be more straight forward in my choice of vehicle.<br>
I take it you had a look at that car in stockport ?<br>
I had been toying around with the idea of a loan, but wasn't too keen.I may have to reconsider.<br>
I can afford Sprint insurance BTW (woohoo!!).<br ...
