    Great idea - very few have the money to buy these days and you wont get half what you paid for a car 3/4 years back if you were to sell now.

    With so many enthusiasts and so many different cars out there it would be a great idea to have a stickied swop shop thread here!

    Can we put this to the vote?

    I thought there was already a sticky for this - the very first one on the page.

    True enough but it tends to be for everything and everything. Would be good to see a swop shop exclusively for running cars +/- cash.

    You're right enough - good idea.

    It is for everything and anything to do with for sale, wanted and swaps :D

    In fairness, the number of posts in the thread is not that high. If you browse it once a week, it will only take a few minutes to read all the posts of that week. Having 3 separate threads will make it less likely for people to come across something they might buy / sell / want to swap...

    I think the problem with SWAPS is that you will get people wanting rid of a heap and if it isn't a heap it will be over valued
