    The Older Gentleman was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:
    Why? Let's see:

    I don't think it's too bad = Walk away
    Looks OK to me = Run, don't walk, away
    I'd have it = Run away, then call in an air strike to
    be sure

    Would that help?

    Mine, with working electrics, fully-furnished chair (seat, screen, tonneau
    cover, spare wheel), MOT and 6 months tax, and mostly good tyres, cost me
    £650.

  4. Ta. So that makes me feel that one with a bare chair interior, no
    screen, no tonneau, no tax, no MoT, and needing one front tyre (got the
    spare wheel, though) is probably nearer ukp350-400, as I originally
    thought. ukp700 is right out of court.

  5. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember
    (The Older Gentleman) saying
    something like:
    It's coming to get you... there is no escape, wriggle how you may.

    Bits are cheap:

    but if it's that shagadelic, how well have the important bits been looked
    after?

    Should be cheap, though - they depreciate like beer.

  7. The engine sounds perfect. But I'd rather buy something that has a seat,
    IYSWIM.

    Christ almighty I thought you got this out of your system with the Jawa
    combo.

    Spending the Trophy money already and you haven't even sold it yet ?
