You'll need a couple of days to read this thread that I found the link to on another motoring forum.
56 pages long so far with well over a quarter of a million hits! shocked003

You may have difficulty gaining entry as their are constantly 2-300 guests worldwide trying to read it. Crashed on me several times tbh.
I think their server must be on meltdown. lol:

I spent about an hour reading yesterday ~ they seem to have ripped the conman to pieces.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

 Hello from the grumpieroldmen forum.

Most of our posters own Nissan Micras, (although none will admit it.) Come on over and visit us, we have few teeth so do not bite, although we can give you a nasty suck.

I'm really having problems with these people TBH. whacky115
It's a only f*cking car for God's sake.
Collect the insurance and move on. shrugs:

Between wives I had some money and one of these. It was nicked from outside of my flat (Enfield). Police told me 6 weeks later they had found it but they then impounded it as evidence as they thought it had been "Used in the pursuit of a crime". They finally got the b@st@rds into court after over a year. Only then could I apply to the court for its return. It had been left in an open police pound with the sunroof and windows all open. It was a wreck.

(Mine was green) for those who do not recognise it .... Jaguar XJ12 Mark II.

Yes! but WHICH one?

PG's link was wonderful!  What a plank!    noooo:

I did it once with a bike.  I was on my way to the police station to report it stolen when I saw it parked outside a shop - By an uncanny coincidence, I had been to that very shop earlier and 'somebody' had even left my helmet in the shop ...  eeek:

Fortunately, that happened before the internet.  ;)

I think there were only about 60 ever made so they like to think they are a bit special.

You did read the thread - Right?  confused:

As suggested I read only the first page but tedium got to me after ten posts so I gave up ~ I assume he found it parked at his girlfriends or summat.
But the drivel on the thread about somebody they thought had tried to sell a "ringer" was more than flesh and blood could stand.
