Anton I don't care if it sells I loathe the thing. Working on it every spare moment I get, want it gone asap. Did meet my mate (the owner) today and he promised he'd never buy another! GOOD!

It's a shame it wasn't just a straight restoration job - custom cars are much more fun, but I don't think they sell well...

There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

if you see Jordi coming towards you with a bag of super-coal get the fire extinguishers out!
That or use cider as a distraction ;)

Do that and you'll have the all of the members from the north and the west country raining down on your house like the Plagues of Exodus.
