i thought disabled got free tax

[Richieintransit]

talk about tarring everyone with the same brush!! exactly what's wrong with this country! people think all disabled people are spongers, but if you say anything about the foreiners sponging then your in trouble!! not all disabled people bleed the state and neither do all foreign people,(just most!) some actually give a lot more than they get, some even get off their fat arses and fix their own vans,,, do you think I would be driving a beaten up old tranny if I could get a brand new mobility one!! the best way to get free tax as you call it and a blue badge is to stuff your face until your so fat you can't walk 50 yards, then you truely deserve it!!! well that's the way the handout people see it anyway! oh great britain!
Now can you please stop winding me up and let the people who want to sell me their automatics post please!!!

MK4 Turbo's were also EPIC

oh, so i suppose if you wanted a non epic it'd have to be a non turbo, but would autobox fit!? and it wouldn't be very fast with autobox non turbo i suppose! would still do me though
i was bidding on the one on ebay and winning, and he sold it to someone for 1100 i'd have paid 1500!!! he said it had upgraded 6 stud wheels but they looked like normal ones and I didn't think anyone did upgrade wheels for 6 stud,, strange

talk about tarring me with the same brush? i didnt mean it in a horrible way i thought disabled got free tax, it was a question thats all, no need to get the hump with me making out that i was having a pop at you i wasnt. good luck finding your £3000 van, for £1500 delivered to your door

[Richieintransit]

WHY £3000 when the one you told me about went for £1100?? I don't want a mk6!!! apart from that ridiculously priced silver one on ebay I think £1500 is fair money for an old minibus, most sell around a grand, I am willing to pay more if a really good one comes up, I have the money, just not paying silly money for one like 4995! which has quite high miles, I would have probably bid more than 1500 on the low miler on ebay but the bloke messed me about and sold it to someone for 1100! I was willing to wait till auction ended like he said but he sold it anyway so he lost out on at least 400 quid, i'm sure something else will come up though,

so if your reading this and have an auto minibus then I want to hear from you

I may even swap this

People say a lot of things when they are selling on ebay, most of it is made up nonsense, because they do not know what they are talking about
As far as MK4 autos go, I dont know if they were Turbo's or not, the only MK4 autos I have seen have been petrol
Andy G would know

the one I was bidding on was a k reg so I presume mk4 and was auto diesel non turbo, but didn't see if it was epic or not,
yer I hate buying from ebay, so many messers, I used to buy and sell lots of cars and vans on there but just found ebay is full of idiots, buyers try and haggle even though they have bid a price and sellers generally don't describe faults, then you end up travelling a million miles to buy a sh***er that's been described as great, I went all the way to devon once to buy a camper and it was so badly described, but as I had bid and travelled so far I felt I had to part with my 5 grand, drove it home shitting myself all the way as no tax, and it was a truely awful drive, lost a lot of money on it, and had a few similar bad experiences with ebay, that's why I do not travel far for vehicles because out of the hundreds I have owned only 1 out of 10 has been described properly,
I always describe and take pics of all known faults, perhaps honesty does not make me rich but it makes me a better person I'd like to think!!
so ebay is not for me, I want to but off genuine transit owners not dodgy dealers who spray over newspaper filled rust holes!!!

Oh cool, I know bosch pumps were good in the old days!! so i'd be happy with a mk4 diesel, there is a mk5 swb efi up north on fleabay in a weird green they even painted the door handles but it's only done 23k and 1150 so might go for that, there is a 2.5lwb bus too, light green but high miles and a little dent in the side.... well actually half the o/s is caved in!!! lol
have u seen my progress report lately?!

[AndyG]

Progress report---yes, very impressive and at the same time surprised you are asking someone to spray it, when you can clearly do it yourself

And I smell a rat with this MK5 you've found with EFI
You've been caught out once already Go on Where's the link

I can only spray low bits and I am not a great sprayer so just thought instead of having to polish the van it might be nice to get it blown over, but think it'll be too dear probably
