Default I'M BACK

Well guys, like the title states, I'm back.

As it was my 30th the other day, I thought I'll buy myself apresent and I've taken the plunge and decided to jump back into the fold and bought me another scoob. I must need my head read or something.

Its a version 2 WRX STI in mint standard form at the moment, though over the next couple of months its going to be more track orientated.

Its gonna be one for the project forum I think.

Well that was f***ing short lived, I just had a phonecall from the garage, apparently so they say after everything was agreed the car was mine and in writing, they let someone test drove the car this afternoon and that person has crashed it.

To say I'm pissed is an understatement. I'm waiting on proof that the car has actaully been in accident as I've asked him for pictures and why they let someone dirve it after it was sold.

I think there will be a call to trading standards or someone first thing in the morning.

Beware of this garage KMCARS in morecambe.

**** Matt that sucks, the garage must be foocking in the head to sell some thing then let it out with some nutter.

On the other hand look at it this way some one some where was telling you dont buy, so may be a blessing in the end..

Good to see your on the way back..

I hope so mate, it was hard enough to find this one in the colour I wanted and the level of standard form and condition this was.

Back to the drawing board

What idiot sells a car then lends it out on a test drive

Pleased that your back so to speak, you have alway supported the club with or without a scooby

I would try to find the "right" car first and not get too hung up about the colour

Mat, no rush to find another car mate, there are so many out there now and some real good bargains.
Me and chris looked at loads before we found the right one, we covered hundreds and hundreds of miles, but they were holding value back then.
Good luck with the search
