A MOMENT OF MADNESS

Post by DeKayDAD » 05 Feb 2005 04:58 pm

A week or two back I was thinking about the future of Dekay's first car. The Nova he had an fire in Cornwall, blew the cylinder head on the M57 and rammed the back of a rep's car in Warrington had less than a month to go on the MOT. I got it last Oct.when he got my 340. I felt the next Mot would be a financial drain then I had my moment of madness. A workmate was flogging his K reg. Fiesta Not bad bodywork MOT till Sept. only £200. I bought it and shifted the Nova for £80. Can I be forgiven. sm59

Of course you can! The Fiesta is a fine car, despite it's (especially the mk3) ability to turn to rust before your very eyes - it practically makes a 300 look like its made from aluminium!

I will pass on that message to the poor student, he's probably waiting for the meet to save on petrol and journey time. A round trip to the south coast would be a big slice of the student budget, even more with an overnight stop. :D
