Tis a sad sad day

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Tis a sad sad day

Post by timwilks13 » Thu Aug 28, 2014 9:24 am

19 months since buying my first SJ she has finally gone to a new home. Sold it on last night so im now SJ less! If anyone hears of one cropping up for sale in Poland let me know and ill snatch it up!

Chap i sold it too is lending it too me for wagtail (fool) so will be reunited one last time, but the pain of signing the V5 and handing over the keys is horrible, still, could be worse, i could have turned round and bought a landy or something stupid!

Sad day :cry:

If price is right what's wrong with buying a landy................

Trouble is I doubt many people would be prepared to pay us to take them away.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

It's sad bud, I know how much work, time and cash you've put into it.

Sadly things change, sure you can find one in Poland. Have the fun of starting a project all over again.

It has to happen at some point, As jordi says you'll just have to find a new one in Poland :doublethumbs: pretty sure they aren't too hard to get out there and the offroading is probably better :lol:

tbh mate you might struggle finding one... obviously i don't live in poland so don't know all the popular websites, but the ones ive found seem to be hyper-milers for hyper-money!

On a positive side you can get a left hooker out there...will make driving it a lot safer!
