Same here, quite breezy too! No plans are being spoilt by the weather, because I ain't got none

Whoo Hoo! ......Asda shopping day!....i can get out!

She is..,

It was a new (full) 4.5 litre container of oil, I tipped it steadily, thinking I had it lined up to the oil filler, it started to pour into filler, it then went GLUG, and missed the orifice, I will get the degreaser on it tomorrow.....

Whoo Hooo! .....A disability aid has been delivered!, courtesy of the Red Cross, i have got to adjust the height of it, it is going to make such a difference, could be life changing!. Another job for me to do (soon) today, i decided car needed a little oil, i managed to drip about half a cup full over the rocker cover and surrounding area, missed the oil filler completely.

I will try to find something to do to pass on some time this weekend, inbetween making cups of tea and cooking meals...........and answering enquiries about the item I have up for sale.....

And not a great time of the year to be selling a 2 wheeler.....trade in sounds good.

I had a few "I offer you (stupid low offers) " but most were, or seemed to be genuine buyers, hope I get the same response with the vehicle that I put on Marketplace next....I too hate dealing with people when selling, even though I give them a honest appraisal of what i am selling I still feel a bit guilty.

Maybe I should have played him along for a while, and asked him for his bank details............................I am new to this scamming malarkey.

In other news.............I have fixed the 3rd brake light, without busting it. it just clips in, and it is not a LED, it had 1 bulb with a reflector panel.

I suppose, even in the condition it is in i could have tried for a bit more, and then have it stood on my drive for weeks, or longer, before if sold, and get numerous "I will offer you messages. I had one guy enquire about buying it, just has the guy who eventually bought it turned up here. I got back to this other guy and told him... Sorry it has sold.....he messages back saying "Sold so quick!, iam reporting you to Facebook, you must be a scammer"....I told him to get on with it then....Deleted and Blocked.

Yeh I got £700 for it, in good mechanical condition it is probably worth £1200+ , but it ain't in good condition, it stops starts (new discs & pads last summer) as it should, but it requires 2 of the problems that it has needing sorting out for the next MOT.... the rear axle and exhaust.

That was a whirlwind sale for me! Put the Dacia on Marketplace at 8am, it was sold and collected at 9am, well it was for sale cheap, but it will need work in the near future, rear axle badly corroded/rusted, clutch pedal right at the top ( needs a new clutch) and exhaust was flagged up at the last MOT, very rusty in places. It has been a good car in the 10 years of my ownership, it only caused problems on the last 2 MOT,s. I expect to see it on Marketplace for sale at around £1200 to £1500 soon
