Nice to see he is talking to you and even has some of the 'gang' on his list of "Friends".
Strangely he is not speaking to me, I am not a "Friend" and yet I am the one who tried to warn him the whole thing was a wind up from the start.
Presumably he doesn't like to hear the truth. noooo:

I was defriended Snoops sad24:

Perhaps you too spoke the truth to him once to often.

What is all this nonsense?
I've just stumnled across this and am cross 'cus you think I've just been 'orrible.
That is NOT the case.
I cleared out some 'friends' as they are so quaintly called, as I was struggling to keep tabs on the monumental number that I had, as it had reached DOUBLE figures! eeek:
Far too many posts to get me nut around, so I worked out who was actually speaking to me regulary and who wasn't.
My theory was that if someone doesn't converse with you, what is the point of them cluttering my page thingy wotsit when it's difficult to follow already.
I don't like the faceache layout as it's irrational and difficult to follow imo., and they keep changing stuff too which makes me irritable. evil:
If you feel let down by me, I'm sorry. No offence was intended. Simply send me a request and I'l re-instate you. Sweet. razz:

The car to be used on the rally has caused me mucho problems jumping out of 2nd., so much so I decided to 'block it' (auction)
This however has been unsuccessful, as only one bid for £150 was received. Banghead
I could get more than that for scrap, and wouldn't have to pay commision either.
It is currently sitting in the auction compound awaiting removal / collection with now a 4" deep lake in the front passenger footwell apparently. eeek:
I don't know what to do with it next tbqh.
Too good to scrap (apart from the gearbox) and it's got 10 months mot too.
Would there be a market for it in Cyprus I wonder?
We could drive it there, like a mad max roadtrip type thing. 8)

Could this be a possible solution for the disposal of this fine condition but seemingly unwanted unloved 1991 Citroen ZX 1.4 with virtually full service history with a jumpy 2nd gear and fitted (currently) swimming pool in the n/s/f footwell?
If it's going to be worth a decent amount, I wouldn't hesitate driving it out there.
I can feel problems lurking with importing red tape nonsense though. whistle:

Oh, 'MeMi. How's she doing? cloud9:
Done many shows yet? The last I read about her she was looking well on the road to stardom.
Has she won many class awards then, and did you finally get a rear bumper sourced?

Slightly long distance for a ...."larf"....IF you don't mind me saying so like. whistle:
Seriously, is there a good market for this unwanted car of mine out there?
It'd cost quite a bit in fuel and ferry costs no doubt, but a £150 maximum bid here in rip off Britain is a total no brainer. Get that from the scrappy tbh.
I need to clear at approx £325-£350 to cover what it's cost me in fuel so far,and mot/repairs/welding to even break even ::)
Has that ferry from ...can't remember now...opened up now btw?

Well... I got the bumper!
Apart from that not too much has happened... gearbox all re-built, looks lovely... engine is being re-built at the moment... body is still languishing in the paint shop but I'm promised the end of this month...

I'm not really sure on values... have a look here. (http://www.autotrader.com.cy/)
As for the ferry, I don't think there is a RO-RO at the moment, you have to drive to Piraus and stick it on a ship as freight from there...

Bit behind schedule then? Thought you'd have had it up and running now tbh. Problems? (Wimmin? whistle: )
What's the colour scheme then, or is it going to be all whaite as it was originally...iirc?

It was white with a black roof but I don't think that was original (and a black roof isn't ideal for the weather here) so it is going to be all-white.
The real delay has been the bodywork guy... he quoted 4 moths to do the job - that was a year ago... I've got all the other stuff here waiting to be bolted onto it...
I got the Rostyles powder coated - they look sweet...
-
12 months to do the bodywerk? eeek:
Could have built a new bodyshell by hand with the aid of a hammer and welder in that time! evil:
WTF is he doing to it...apart from nowt seemingly? noooo:

Anyways, I had a look at the Cyprus Autotrader and it didn't actually give me much idea tbh.
No ZX's for sale, and only 6 Citroens in total. eeek:
Do you have a local Cypriot Crap Cars pitch locally that might be interested?
Go and 'ave a werd with them for me and see if they're interested, there's a luv, tar. ;)
If successful, I could bring special Growler CAKE ( NOT Sainsburys ::) ) and home made Brocolli with us as a reward like. cloud9:

If what he says is true, then it would actually probably werth me while bringing it over just to scrap it! eeek:
