You've gotta have a hobby...

Yep it's rare and is something that if someone needs one, they're sort of in a 'have' to buy it, but it's also not a perishable part, very unlikely to be needed, plus I could probably get mine welded up for less than that, so at £100, he could end up holding onto it for a very very long time... Once I've had a proper look to see whether it's an engine out or not, job, I might offer him £50 as a take it or leave it. I need to get under the car anyway, to decide its fate...

Just to update this, I messaged the guy pointing out that I could get mine welded up in-situ for £50 so offered him the same etc. but he came back saying he should have cleaned the part before listing (

it's an engine sump... being spotlessly clean makes zero difference to value!

) and that because the other one on line is 200-odd euro's he reckons his is cheap.

I replied saying to the effect of GLWTS and let me know when you get fed up with it taking up space!

Two MoTs today.

The ATR ended up with 4 advisories, all expected.
The Volvo had 5 advisories .... but failed on 11 counts! (It's what happens if you buy disposable items.)

La Roux is brilliant!

Sorry! I swapped them within minutes for a couple of shots

Would've been Thursday night at UEA anyway!

Thursday night at the University of Easy Access, eh...?

I could probably have gone with that

(I think Lisa's up there for a meeting that day too..?)

Been a good few years since I've been to the Waterfront (last time was for a hardcore night

)
But anyway, never mind. What did you get in return?

Yeah Easy Access

My mistake, it's the 14th. Waterfront is good, nice little venue

last time I went was for a dub night, everyone was rolling and drenched in the sweat that condenses and drips from the ceiling

Gin, it's always gin!
