Have a brand new light stalk there for the fogs if he needs that, no idea what that's go for. The Almera's still sitting outside, full of food, parts and petrol. I'll get rid of it... One day. Maybe it'll fit on the back of a Ford F350. :pac:

It got progressively narrower in direct proportion to the grass in the middle of the road getting wider and taller. The grass suddenly turned into rushes the height of my bonnet and the road narrowed further. Eventually, staring in disbelief, I saw the road completely disappear infront of me and I am now in a field..... I had to reverse a long way back :pac:

Haha GTI bumper and brand new fogs just destroyed, rare as all hell! :mad: From there back it's perfect though, if he's after parts he can have a dig through it. Seats are almost new in it, back especially. Yeah, I keep meaning to do that but I just never seem to get around to it.
