i'm always aprehensive of travelling to far to see a car incase its a shitter, thats why nowadays i only ever look on car enthusiast websites and try and double check its what i want/like.

Which is probablly why I still haven't found a new car

Me and my mate went to elgan in scotland a couple of years ago to buy a XE corsa.

700 mile round trip, got there after 6 or so hours in the car to find it hadn't moved for months, the place that where meant to be fixing it had chucked it on the road and half the kit had been robbed and it had no gear selector.

The lad knew where coming 350+ miles and sent us pictures of it that must of been at least 12 months old, pissed off is not a strong enough word

I went to north wales to meet you, went back to mid wales in convoy, then go into your corsa and went to Luton.

Mostly on the other side of the road

That's a point, when I got my bike I went on holiday with my Dad just to make a trip off it. We got it from down near Cornwall, not sure how far that is
