i was speaking to a guy with motor neurone disease and he got a Vauxhall Antarra for £400 deposit and the rest is paid for. I don't know the ins and outs of Motability so he could have been pulling my leg

[AD Ent]

I'm not so far from you. Let me know if you need anything Briggie. It's no good being carless I've been there a few times.

oh its deffo gone jim mate , not much left of the turbo either ..... oil and bits of metal all over the place ..... rac man said I was very lucky

 

[Peasgood1]

[briggie]

I think he meant that I managed to get from the middle lane to the hard shoulder of the m1 without any engine / brakes or power steering safely
