Question Anyone live in the Cornwall area?

I was going to look at a car tomorrow that i am hoping to buy but its 280 miles from me. I was wondering if someone from here could look at the car and make sure its not a pile of **** etc. Plus i am a woman and know foof all about cars so it would be a massive help...Anyone?

Am still looking.......

Be hard to find people about tomorow down this way, cornwall Subaru meet on, maybe 20 odd scoobs might make them drop the price if we dropped by!

If i drive down in mine i will end up tagging on to the scoob meet and forget to look at the car

Its not a scoob i am buying btw, its a Civic type r

Its a 21 year old lad so a few scoobs blasting past will scare the pants off him.........


Is that a no then?

have you had much contact with the seller??? i had this when i got my scoob, the lad was in manchester and myself down here, lots of emails and pics and conversations and eventually met part way, would he be willing to do that??
just bung him some petrol money...........

I am near St. Albans, Herts. The lad is only 21 and spoken a few times on the phone. Seems ok. He said they are snowed in when i spoke earlier and a car had crashed into their wall because of the snow. He has just moved house with his parents so i dont think he will meet me as they are unpacking. he said i probably wouldnt be able to test drive the car because of the snow so i am assuming its pretty bad.

I am now the new owner (nearly) of a CTR

I have posted a progress report in general General.
If i had checked my pm box this morning i would have found that i didnt need to drive all the way to Cornwall today as someone i asked could of done it for me

I saw about 4 scoobs all day but i drove so fast they might not have seen me. Lovely and sunny all day and a few hairy moments but noting i couldnt handle

I wonder if i would be able to find someone that could transport it here to me in the next 2 weeks,......................
