Just under 40k on the clock and FSH.
N'owt wrong with it, it is just that we'll have enough on getting the wife's micra and our T3 across on t'ferry! I'm going to be using the van as my daily driver, so I hope it all works out. Should do with the amount of money Mr. Baxter wants from me at the moment!

Just been doing the rounds of advertising my car, including putting it on here
Someone put me on to
Freeads its totally free to advertise, they make their money from folk calling up to contact buyers, but a friend of a friend sold their car on there in 3 days, so may be worth a go!
