And Marc has just called to say he's had to abandon the car on his way to work. Balls!!!

We had another inch overnight but it started snowing heavily around 730am & we got another 2-3" since then! Love it! Even our house rabbit Crumble has been out rolling around it it!

I don't hate snow. I hate the response to snow. It's winter ffs & it's been well forecast but you can guarantee it'll be all over the papers tomorrow about traffic chaos etc! I'm just sat at home waiting to go to Uni & I daren't set off yet because if they decide to close they'll close at 2pm by which time ill be on my way in! The only reason they close is due to so many staff & students having to get home a long way away across moors and stuff !

This is what we've got after an hour, and it doesn't even capture how thick & fast it's coming down now! And from an hour ago

Month? You mean year don't you?!

Lmao get a wash

That wasn't what I was implying, nooo! Just old and pervy ;)

It really sucks mate. When I was a single mum I worked full time with Natasha in private childcare at the hospital where I worked. After my childcare bill came out of my salary I once had £11 left. It's soul destroying :( Hope you can get it sorted soon

Erm, aren't you already at least one of those?! ;)

You? Grow up?! Don't be so bloody ridiculous!!

Ha. When I was test driving it, he told us rather salaciously about his plans to retire to Oz and chase women (bloke was in his 60s with a beard bushy enough to hide a Polish familiy in) - was glad Mr M was in the back, creepy git lol!! Was glad I was wrapped in the old North Face coat and 20 layers

A friend suggested these are a good reliable cheap second hand buy. Anyone owned one? Any good?

Weirdest bloke too! Not that I care lol. He'd had the car since August & the mileage had gone up so he'd definitely used it. Wouldn't have minded test driving his Bentley or his LS430!

Well first thing he said to us was "I'm not a dealer", so you're probably right

This is more the price I'm looking at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-IS-200-2-0-SE-7-MONTHS-MOT-LOTS-OF-SERVICE-HISTORY-/200871692147?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2ec4e2c773

He has a house in Queensland, Oz, I reckon its probably nicer than his bungalow in the UK ;) - - - Updated - - - No probs, there's bound to be one closer, in our price range thats decent that comes up soon, but thanks

He'd only had it since August last year, bought for his run around, but he also had some shit heap Hyundai that he said he used more, as it was economical, and he already had the Lexus, the Bentley and the Harley's if he wanted luxury, so he decided to sell the IS! Told us he worked in Kazakhstan so he'll have been raking it in! He was a VERY odd bloke tho, can tell why he'd never been married, his social skills were a bit weird to say the least! If it sells, it sells, I suspect if he's set the reserve for £1350 it won't make that, but if it does, good for him, more wonga for him to take to Iceland to see the Northern Lights this week!

Nice, more like the price too, with 12 months test! Bit far for us tho, we're at work and Uni every day except weekends, and its such a long way to go if it turns out not to be that good. Plenty of these around tho, bound to be more in the NorthEast for us to consider in the coming weeks and months

He wouldn't tell us his reserve when we called and he was just down the road in Redcar, it was no biggy - and the guy also had a Bentley GT Continental, a Lexus LS430 convertible and 2 Harley Davidsons so I'm really not too worried about getting his hopes up

Because its on auction on eBay, currently at £620, the reserve isn't stated in the advert! Sheesh! And in anyone's book, to call someone stupid is rude!

Seen em go for cheaper than what he was asking, with about the same mileage and longer T & T. If it sells for what he's asking, thats great for him, I can't shell out that much and then fork out for the tax next month too, and then the test in May!

Why is it stupid to walk away when I don't have £1350? Why are you always so damned rude? - - - Updated - - - Yes, they're lush cars. Had one before, lovely! Just think the dude needs to drop the price a bit with the short tax and MOT

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221176647669?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648 Drove lovely, really nice condition, really tidy example. The seller is looking for £1350 for it though, which to my mind is waaaaaay to expensive for a 13 year old one of these, when the tax runs out end of Feb and the MOT mid May. Walked away from this one but will watch to see if this meets his reserve and sells. The guy is on holiday tomorrow til Friday so unless someone turns up with the cash before the day is reckon this might fail to sell on eBay, in which case we might have a contender! So nice to be in the driving seat of one of these again :D

Nothing wrong with the occasional nip ;)
