To be honest the cheapest tyres i find are at the local garage, very good prices indeed. Thats down near Cark airfield. They also understand how we feel about taking care of our alloys. Servicing could be a little trickier, pop down and have a chat sometime. Max, who lives in Barrow has a good independant that he uses.

Or why not try a little Chef eh Rich.

Watch out for cameras on the A1, the A14 also has espec cameras. I would like you to post the first pics of the car on here and not get them sent to you with a fine.

Just one option that may be worth exploring. We have a local rental house which we hired recently. It was in December so the price is more in June. Works ut as £440 for the weekend. It sleeps 11 so if you can get a bunch together it works out pretty cheap. http://www.old-bank-house.co.uk/index.p ... id=29&id=1 This is for friday pm to Monday morning. Dont ask me to coordinate it though.

Well done Chris, thats very impressive. If you were busy you should have given me a shout and I would have come over. I could have made the coffee.

When I bought the scooby it was from a guy eho lived in a city, from the start he was twitchy and told me it was locked up in a place with CCTV. He was very cautious, he had also had the full range of spam calls. I paypaled him a small deposit as I was away for two weeks. I also directed him to this place. So he now had some sort of reference and my address. After that it went smoothly and i paid cash at his house. The monet didnt appear until we were both happy and it was all done very formally but efficiently. Handing the money over in a bank would seem to work very well for me but at the end of the day there needs to be some trust. There are always a few ways to get a little idea of the seller in this internet era.
