I seem to have missed something I need enlightenment.

Isn't this the one that was on eBay recently?

Ah! So that's how it's done.

The big saloon is manual, thought you were going auto? Nice 1300 by the way.

Sorry, you've all got me stumped.

Don't worry Mart - they're just pulling your leg mate.

Some of those go for an arm and a leg , , hold on just a minute. . . . . . maybe

car looks nice, cant help thinking it would look better with some extended arches and a set of montego alloy's

So back to the question we all want answering ...........

When you last darkened this forum you were selling ALL you cars because they had manual gear change gearboxes, that is to say that the cars have three peddles, on a go faster, one a stop peddle and the third a peddle to depress to change gear, now i do apoligize if I am mistaken or you have somehow overcome your (at the time of your last visit here) pending removal of a limb, namely a leg but we were all under the impresssion that you were selling the cars because of this limb removal and now you have not one but two manual transmission cars so either a quick recovery or.......................... !

Good to hear you still have your legs (and health!) and good luck with the kids, the reason for all the jesting and my subtle question was that last time you were on this forum we were all led to believe you had actually lost you leg through amputation and you story about that and the cars changed on an almost daily basis with you saying that you are scrapping/ selling/ breaking/ will sell to bangers and then you reappear on other forums as so nothing happened etc etc so most people here have lost faith in anything you saying being the truth.
I know its not really for us to pry into someones private life and health and people have differing ways of dealing with their illheath so if what you say is true I wish you all the best.

That ball joint that you took off was a repairable one, hope you didn't bin it, they're sought after as the kits are pretty cheap.
