Ooops, hope I havent offended you there, it wasn't intentional.

I just don't want to see Piglet depart, if he goes to another Mud-clubber then I think that would be OK, he wouldn't be leaving 'us', only moving around a little and spreading the joy.

I voted 'Yes' Neil as I'm guessing you don't need Piglet anymore. To be honest if I had owl and piglet, I'd be tempted to sell too.

There is another option:

Don't sell Piglet, just put him under the care of somebody who makes sure he gets the attention he deserves.  I know someone who will make sure he'll get his feet covered in Yorkshire mud every weekend.   :D  :D  :D

Hmmm, you might have a point there, maybe he could be rented out to approved individuals - keeping him in the family but providing the extra income needed....

Funny
I was going to talk to you about this Niel
I had a feeling this was coming
I read something you wrote mentioning you bought the disco because it was nice then it just started to happen.
now you have Owl and you've started doing bits to it i thought it was only a matter of time.
As for a value, not a clue mate.
worth what someone will pay i guess?
Shame but progress is progress.

Since no one has made you a formal offer then I shall get the ball rolling with £500  :wink:

I can't see why you would want to sell, you'll never get what you think its worth with the time it takes and money it costs to build a truck like that.  


You won't play hard in the Rangey will you?  Not like you do in that Piggy Beast!

Being realistic I think that Piglet should be sold

Seeing it sitting there on your drive the other day getting covered in rust is not good - it needs a new home.

On the value front its gotta be worth around £5-6k, its got some good bits on it, but all said and done underneath those stickers its still a 97 disco, and a petrol one at that.......best you get some money for it whilst its still worth something.

 :cry:  Do the decent thing and put it on Ebay

The best way to recoop some cash from the sale is to sell what can be removed and then sell it as a 4.6 standard disco with roll cage and snorkel.
That way you get back loads of small moneys from all the bits and then a lump sum for the car.
Thats what i'd do.
