I did make lots ask Ratty. I even asked him to share with everyone

We tried eating them for everybody but there's only so much our bellies would stretch!

They probably saw what a fat bloke I am and decided to do me a favour by keeping them away from me.

Helped my mate who runs a body shop to put this 1936 Rolls-Bentley back together. Beautiful isn't it.

That is a bit special.

Nice ,Roller, an old mate of mine had a Mallalieu Bentley, rare as rocking-horse, beautiful machine and a head-turner. Forgive my ignorance, but when and where is the national meet/ No guffaws please, my brain's still in the Far east.

Agreed to buy a bent land rover for pre-accident value

(now I somehow need to find the £7k to pay for it)

are they really worth that much?!

Yep. Equivalent spec/mileage one on eBay atm locally (but manual and black leather, both of which are less desirable in this market) for £6.5k

Plus his has had ECU remap (power!) and has a classic Essex reg plate that he's obviously keeping, so he has costs to re-register it first.

Considering the inconvenience and emotional distress for smashing up his pride and joy, it's a fair sum!

Looking for a (small) plus side for me, after I've changed the wheel bearing (hope that's all that the thrumming is - and got past the 350lb/ft hub nut in the process

) I have a tow car to move the rest of my CXs...

Will have to see what I can get back on it after fixing the rest up (it's all perfectly do-able, nothing terminal, just effort and more cash).
