One of the weirdest evenings i've ever had
Re: One of the weirdest evenings i've ever had
I'd be struggling with the curiosity of going to check the clutch.

My excellent 3 point post goes unanswered. Until that's addressed there's no point in continuing this thread.

If you have the keys I think I'd just go put them in the ignition and let fate deal with someone elses problem for you.
People are certainly weird.

Re: One of the weirdest evenings i've ever had
OK, I think I can beat that for oddness. I once sold a proper shitbox Sierra for £150 out of my parents' house.
Deal was organised but the people didn't show up. Waited a coupole of hours but then went home. At about midnight, my folks get a call saying they are still coming but got lost, so my mum went out to find them. At this point it was looking a bit iffy, as she was met by a car 4-up with south London rudeboys, but all took a turn for the normal - they paid the cash, signed the V5 and drove away (V5 signed in the name of "Marshall Sherman"!)
Then at 3am, my folks were woken by the cops at the door. Apparently, Mr. Sherman and his associates left with the crappy car, filled it up with petrol and drove off from the petrol station, then drove to Heathrow and abandoned it in the Drop Off lane. Folks showed the police the V5 and the sale receipt and that's the last we ever heard of it.
People do strange things...

I know taxis to Heathrow can be expensive, but that seems like an excessively complex workaround.

How strange. Although the image of Dan and this bloke crouched either side of the front door posting car keys back and forth it amusing to say the least.
I'm unable to find this post you mentioned.

Makes perfect sense. Still no idea about Dan's
Re: One of the weirdest evenings i've ever had
Some equally bizarre responses to this thread.
Good luck Dan

Re: One of the weirdest evenings i've ever had
Has anyone heard from Dan since this? I fear he may be part of some new bridge foundations around the M25 area...
Cheers.

You mean that untaxed car that's sitting outside your house on the public road? Someone might tell HMRC about that and the owners could get a nasty fine.

Or report it abandoned to the council. Out of interest have you checked the vin number to check it’s the same car and not a dodgy clone?
Re: One of the weirdest evenings i've ever had
They must be twp. No car, no money, no contact
Re: One of the weirdest evenings i've ever had
Its definitely the same car, they're fucking idiots not fucking geniuses.
Re: One of the weirdest evenings i've ever had
I wonder how they got home?!
Re: One of the weirdest evenings i've ever had
They came in two cars...same way they collected it not 24 hours before
