With tax & mot i'll consider it a bargain if it gets me home!

I have no preconception of what i'm going to find when i collect it, but fortunately i know a few people with spares lol

Now all i need is the fucking owner to email me back!

So, the lead man of Marillion is selling a BX?

How exactley does one "ajust" the "hydrolic" pipes?

Still, could be a bargain! Those wheeltrims have to go though.

Think i might actually have a full set with good tyres... Just depends whether the steelies off the TD will fit back on the Valver (which i'm fairly sure they don't for some odd reason, MBW though?)

Collecting it tonight. Spoke to the old boy today, apparently it only suffers from a leak under the reservoir (which worst case could be a holed tank), so fingers crossed... :roll:

He says i WILL NOT be dissapointed... i'll be the judge of that lol
