  1. I just found some money I didn't know I had. I can have meat for me tea
    now, well once I get me teeth out of pawn anyway.

    Anybody local got a *seriously* cheap set of wheels (2,3 or 4) with 3
    months tax on it for sale?

    How cheap is seriously (2 wheels)?

    I have:
    Yamaha XS 400 MOT until Nov - Tax until Oct (I think)
    http://www.sweller.dynalias.org/yamaha/ (now with new petrol tank and
    washed - has some 'issues')

    MZ TS 150 MOT and Tax Jan 05
    http://www.sweller.co.uk/sob/risen.htm

    I may be able to appear some MOT and Tax on a rough looking Supa 5; given
    a bit of time an ETZ 300.

    As cheap as it will go, TOG purchase prices would be nice.

    I am skint and sans wheels and I really do have things to do and places
    to go and haven't been able to do so through lackacash. Frustrating to
    say the least.

    I have been imminently awaiting a payout for ages but that won't happen
    until a week after I hear and I ain't heard yet. In the mean time I've
    discovered a few hundred I can spend on something that starts and runs
    but I do need it road ready.


    You have my attention.

    Other than it's a Yamaha XS it has three problems:

    1. Failed MOT on seized swinging arm bushes - I've not managed to free
    them off but it does now move a bit. I'm taking it for an MOT to
    see if it passes. I honestly can't tell when riding it.

    2. The front mudguard is cracked due to vibration makes an unholy
    rattle at 40mph.

    3. Tacho doesn't work.

    Other than that it's quite pleasant to ride in a '70s Jap parallel twin
    kind of way. As is about £445.

    This is probably a more representative picture:

    £265 - I can deliver.

    It is on the force9s server right now, I can see it from here. Let's
    see if it makes the rest of the journey unscathed.

    Hey I caught you in a filter.

    I got this email today from a burd who wants to keep writing to her
    because she thinks I am funny. Do you reckon it would be worthwhile me
    getting some soap next time I am out shopping? It's been so long I have
    forgotten the formalities.

    I had always suspected that but it is nice to have it confirmed by an

    Not definitely for sale yet, but...

    L reg Vauxhall Corsa 1.5 Diesel Merit.

    3 doors, red.

    118k miles, bit scruffy, but reliable and very good mechanically.

    49mpg average on all town work, 55mpg on a steady 80ish run.

    Oh, and it has a heater that works, and a stereo that makes noise.

    I did 1400 miles in it last week, between Tuesday and Saturday, no problems
    at all.

    Given the cosmetics, £475.
