    I know it's a long shot but it's worth a try... you never know who may be reading!!

    I'm looking to spend about £400 on something small, Fiesta or Escort type size, preferably with atleast a little tax and test on it :) Just something to see me through to next summer when I will hopefully get my payrise and can afford some decent wheels!!

    If any of you know of anyone please speak now :)

    Ta :)

    Ooh Shadow if you'd posted this 3 weeks ago I could have got you a nice little blue/purple Seat Ibiza with 12 months MOT and 4 months Tax. But it's been sold since.

    Whereabouts in West Yorkshire are you? I'm in Haworth.

    That would have been perfect... damn my car for waiting this long to die on me!!! lol

    I live in Bradford but work in Leeds. I hate to admit this but I have no idea where Haworth is.... I've only lived in Yorkshire a couple of years and pretty much only know the places I've been to!! (typical woman I hear you say!! lol)

    How rude! Haworth is like 8 miles from Bradford. Just before Keighley? What? Not heard of Keighley? Ok it's near Bingley? What not heard of that either? :p

    Cheeky!! I've heard of both Keighley and Bingley as a matter of fact, just not many other places!!! lol

    Sounds like you could be the ideal person to try and sweet talk into arranging a meet up this way... I keep trying to get to one but they're all too far south damn it!!! lol ;)

    You're a star :) I'll be leaving work fairly soon and don't have internet access at home at the mo so won't be able to check the thread till the morning.

    I would leave my email addy but the only one I can access from here is my works one and I don't really want to put that on the WWW!!! lol

    Driving in Haworth is a good way to destroy your clutch. :)

    Already part of the problem, along with the brakes, the gear box and the steering!! lol Yes, the car was a death trap... I just didn't realise it until a recent MOT :(

    Not only have I heard of all those places, I've even been to Haworth and Keighley, on the steam train no less :)

    Shadow, I never did get that email with your addy - will you try it again? angeltreats at gmail dot com. No underscore, btw.

    You're doing better than me then.... I'm beginning to think I should get to know the area I'm living in better!! lol

    Email should be on its way to you as we speak... let me know if it doesn't get there again :)
