Bills new mota.
 
http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk...cleRegLetter=R

£2600 and as good as he says it is.

Deposit paid, pickup when insurance cheque clears.
Taxed till april, MOT till august serviced last month, plug and fluid change service last year. Ex chauffer firm car, service history an inch thick, one owner, recent disks and pads all round, tyres fine, linkages changed recently. Cambelt done when it should have been. No squeaks, groans, rattles or clicks. Drives very nicely compared to my old one, he went slightly green when I threw it into a round about, I'd just told him about all the rider training I'd had and then drove like an arse. I'm super chuffed.
Those are the first 16 inch standard wheels I've ever seen. They will go should I get an injury payout from ins. co.

The interior is very good but not electric, yet again, as soon as money comes through from insurance co. then full sport interior is going in to make up for the nightmares.

The back end slop when changing direction is not there which suggests my rear bushes were shot, tyre wear is lovely and even, it hasn't had any major impacts due to absence of orange peel. Trim panel on the bottom of the drivers door has a broken clip and the rear blind whirs but does not arise. Boo friggin hoo.

Looks like a pretty nice example there.... As you say some 'missing' spec, but pretty clean.

The 16's will be winter wheels I think.

Pick it up on Saturday, that should cheer me up after talking to injury specialist solicitors today. I feel dirty, they are a bit slimy but they have their uses.

Photos of me gurning will be posted :D

Had to say goodbye to the black one too, it is off to the great autobahn in the sky. Shame it's a write off, doesn't look that bad but hey ho, I have a new one so I'm not too sad :-(

Excellent! Welcome back Bill. +++

The black one dosen't look that bad. Was there structural damage?

The engine is an inch further to the n/s and back than it should be. Whole front is twisted.
