Hi

I have just returned from a few carboots, but I missed the best buy by a whisker! There was a stack of car manuals from about the 20's to the 50's, you know owners manuals, probably 20 or more, there was a chap looking through them infront of me, whilst I was reaching to have a look, before I could reach far enough the stall holder said, "Hi mate, they are all yours for a quid"!! He soon snapped them up and scurried off. What a pain! Evil or Very Mad

Cheers

Dave

You should have chirped up 'I'll give you a fiver!'

Might've started a bidding war, but you knew how much you had in your pocket & when to stop...
