I know, I've followed your continuing tragic saga.

However, I have the advantage of an old bloke with trousers held up by bits of twine, who comes with a 'no rabbit no fee' guarantee.
Plan C: Ferret.
Plan D: Concrete the garden.
I've heard napalm works.......!

I notice we also have a new logo on our on line header name, I assume the blue background is in deference to our illustrious Smurfmeister.
Looks a bit like a target to me. Can't quite see the cruise association ?!
Looks as though smurfy might have taken the hump, our nice blue logo has now been replaced with, I know not what because its so indistinct.

Anyone noticed - posts on the "Games" threads have just stopped counting towards the cumulative totals again. Has the Smurfmeister been tinkering ? Maybe taken offence at our comments on the Turin Shroud ?!

Don't be silly. It's one careful lady owner.

I'll let you know how it goes but the deal is subject to the car being as advertised and a test drive.

It's a particular Ford that I fancy and I have test driven near matches that have either the engine/gearbox or the right bells and whistles but not both. In the UK there are only 5 that match all my criteria on the Ford Direct website and this dealer has 3 of them! Apparently the sad Sales Manager gets in at 6.30 in the morning to trawl the industry websites to gather his stock.

And to re-iterate the provenance this one was apparently on www.one-careful-lady-owner-honest-guv.con

Enough of the "our". I think you'll find it was your comment to that effect. We wouldn't be so rude.

(Okay Smurfy?)

I had the same thought earlier. Perhaps Mrs Onelife has taken away all his privileges
