Seriously!  :shocked:

I don't care how rich I was, is it really worth the money, as soon I got there to pick it up I'd see it and be like, WTF, why on earth did I just pay 30k for a 1.4 mk4 that has seats that smell of ball sack!  The seller is such a lucky bar stool for having that part exchanged his way!

Sadly I am now really interested to see how much this goes for, also want to know the crazy reserve, 30k?

Then, when its sold i'm going to contact the winning bidder and tell them what a sad tw@t they are.....

.....to then later find it was the Middletons buying it back!   :laugh:

*cough* It's a Daimler... they're more posh.  :grin:

With or without the wheels I see it as a better buy over the mk4!

In short I think there was a bloke with a surname of Daimler who was the inventor of the high speed petrol engine, Also the inventor for the first 4 wheel drive vehicle.  I think Jag bought the Daimler group in the 60's and used the name as a division to make very high end versions of their own cars.  I would imagine a bit like what Maybach is to Mercedes.

Jeez, its up to over £25 what sort of tard will fork out that?
Still not met reserve, although I wonder if it says that because its a private bid only?
I emailed him to get on the bidding list but he asked me a load of questions and turned me down when I called him a helmet.  :cry:
