My swallowtail made me £100 today :)
My brother in-law is a car freak like me, however he only deals in top end cars and nothing below 05 reg.
Today my brother in-law was taking the out of my swallowtail (how dare he I hear you say?) stating that old thing needs weighing in and then offering to give me £500 take it off my hands and scrap it for fun! :twisted:
So after all this bult talking :evil: , He was convinced he could find a swallowtail on eBay for less then £300 and bet me £100cash ……….I smiled 8) and took up the challenge….he searched high and low for 4 hours……….then came back to me (like a lost puppy) and handed me the cash!!!!
Swallowtail 1 - t 0
I then offered him a double or quits……….he stared 8O and said NO!! ha ha ha ha

you get to a certain point where "non mk1 believers" you off………they don't understand the patiences of a master piece or "the blood,sweat and tears" that go into classic cars…..hopefully I've shut him up for a while…so I can get on with my planning.

I offered them to mark75 with the red swallowtail first, but he didn't get back to Alistair…so i brought them. Not sure what I'm doing with them yet.
