Somebody stop me!
« on: April 01, 2005, 01:21:05 »
I've seen an SJ on eBay.  The auction finishes tomorrow.  It's local to me.  It'll never go on the road again.  I can't really afford it, but I'll manage.  Much as I'd like an SJ, I'd rather have a rag top.

Please stop me bidding.

I really really really want a plugga, but I have a Series III sitting on the drive that I should be fixing.  Maybe if I buy the SJ, then sell it when Thora is complete.

Somebody stop me!!

How about playing hunt the mouse.  Get your wife to hide the mouse from the computer, somewhere in the house.  If you find it in time, you can bid! :(bigshock):

Go on... you know you want too... :twisted:

Besides, you were obviously meant to have it, otherwise you wouldn't have noticed it from all  the others on eBay....

There is absolutely no way dare  I mention this to the wife!  I'll be looking for a new home.  At least if I do buy it, I can tell her not to worry 'cos it's going up to LQ and will stay there.  Hiding the mouse wouldn't work, I'd just get a new one out of the loft.   :)

Come on guys!  You're meant to be stopping me, not encouraging me.

You've got just under 7 hours to convince me not to buy it...

"I'd rather have a rag top"

"I have a Series III sitting on the drive that I should be fixing"

There you are, see ... you don't actually want it at all :D  :wink:

Unless, of course, the SJ seller wants to swap with your Series III :-k

I will never part company with my Series III.  Hell would freeze over 1st.  Which is part of the problem.  The missus wouldn't have a problem with me getting a mud plugga, if I didn't have the Series III.

I don't think I would want it in the slightest, so that lowers my max price :wink:  What's the bidding up to at the moment?

Pete,

It's an absolute heap... for that money you could fix the Series 3 and have a better end result.

Look... it is even fitted with an a-frame... must break down a lot

:-)

Well, just think ... if you buy the Suzuki, you'll have less time to devote to your series III. Are you sure that's fixable though :shock:

All Series Land Rovers are fixable!  As Trigger once said, "I've had this brush all my life, it's only had 4 new handles and 6 new heads"   :D
