Rich, that hat trick of weird is well down to your usual standard, great choices there, even the Gamma which - some may argue - isn't bonkers enough to make me want to marry it, but nevertheless turns me on.

[TerryG]

I'm amazed the gamma isn't a dozen large boxes of brown flakes.
Anyway, to make sense of the adverts Rich posts I usually run them through google translate which 7/10 times lets me know what's going on as my French is limited to ordering steak and booking hotel rooms.
In the case of the Seab (weird and wonderful) Google says:
Gramge output , sells Pinball 2 , cart 80s, complete with back -up. Price to the highest bidder

So it tells me that it is a pinball machine on a cart from the 80s and has a backup system :S

its not too far from me either

[JPB]

I reckon it was Officer Crabtree who translated that!


I get "curious to abstain" = "time wasters please do to yourselves as the ocean did to Natalie Wood", and I'm glad to know that it has decent drains but I wrote more logical things when we studied Vol de nuit for French lit O grade in school, that in spite of my introducing a motorcycle - that wasn't even there - into my answer to one of the questions. I also mixed up cannibals with zombies but dammit, my version of the book would have been so much more interesting.

C-matic is brilliant though, definitely one of the best semi autos out. In fact, it's right up there with Hondamatic/Triomatic and much, much more interesting than the unbelievably crappy 2 speed semi auto in the VW 1500, a car that I only bought because my cousin had owned one and his was nice.

have you booked the trailer & ferry yet?

[Grumpy Northener]

Car sold € 500 non-negotiable, come with tray.

It gets better John - it says in the advert that we have to go with a tray Is that because the vendor wants to fill the tray with free beer upon arrival ? If so we can help - you can hold the tray while me & Rich drink the beer
