It's distance usually, I have a strict 10 mile search radius, unless it's something super amazing, once nearly went to Gloucester for a Hoover Turbomaster, but by the time I got permission it had sold.

I've had bargains though, I'm happy with my lot

Nice, where do you get your bargains from!

See how the motor broke, it will be good knowledge for the future!

I was lucky with this one the seller wanted 30 quid free postage. I asked can you do 20 quid free postage and he said no bother. Ebay and Shitetree is my best option. some of them though are a bit over priced I was lucky then

Usually I take that route,  but she would notice if I was gone for 5 hours.  Plus I had the XM at the tine,  would have cost over £100 in pez!

I'm on my fourth. First was a 2.1 vsx hatch series 2. Second was a 2.5 vsx estate series 2. Third was a 2.0 Tct Exclusive hatch series 2 with lpg. I've still got my 2.1 SED hatch series 1. She's been off the road a while but will put her back on next spring.

Mine was a 2.0tct estate auto. Couldn't afford the fuel in the end, which was a shame. Should save up and get a 2.1td really
