  1. So you'll^H^H^H^H^H^H he'll order it, it'll turn up, in a box,
    and then it'll start to go together. Then he'll start watching
    American Scuba Idol[1], and get ideas about doing that, and
    you'll end up chucking the thing into the sea so that he's got
    something to go and salvage properly. And then selling the
    rust-coated bits on ebay for a profit...
    Selling the second car isn't necessarily a bad plan...
    heh.

    [1] Or whatever the hell they'll do next.

  2. You've missed out "and been wildly successful at selling the spares
    to fund the whole thing"...

    Oh, you said "fishing".

    My mistake.
    I thought Champ was quite bright myself.

    I would agree with the posts sugesting it an't such a good deal, my advice
    would be................. buy a cheap sportster £3 to 4k and make it your
    own, spend your money on all those cool bolt on goodies and a paint job will
    end up costing you half the dosh.
    All the best
