I have been looking online at various cars and today I went on ebay and looked at auctions ending soon, first on the list was the BGT with two minutes to go, a very quick read and a bid, so I now have an 8 hour trip down from Aberdeen to get it and another 8 hours home again.

I will post photos when I get back.

That was very impulsive! Are you going to be driving it home or putting it on a trailer?
Looking forwards to seeing some pictures and hope after a journey of that distance, it all goes well.

Sadly I did a 956 mile round trip for a car that was very badly described and photographed and I did not buy it. I had it insured and got breakdown cover but it had more filler than Halfords.

If it comes back on Ebay, post a link here so we can have a look at the ad.
