id say ur best bet would be to steal his wallet... make a copy of his licence... then go to his house and abduct his pet... if its a cat... cut its tail in half and deliver it to him saying if anything happens then you know where he lives and how to get into his house... if he has a dog... cut off one of his childrens fingers and do the same.

i like dogs.

tell him you are samoan and 6ft3 and weigh 150kgs and you need this car as one of your 6 brothers crashed your other car while you were in jail for assault with a deadly weapon. that should do the trick.

You could give him a post dated CHQ, then he cant cash it untill that date.

hmmm that sounds like a good one.

and I'll get his driver's licence etc i guess...

Roy and Baron, thanks for the useful suggestions lol

If he were to run away, can't he just wait till that date and cash the money in then? Would he be able to do this or?

if you are looking for a sylvia or a skyline 32 you will be a lilttle gibed... i got mine for only 6,500 on road, because over there they cost about 2,000 aud....

where as the 33cost a little more... just talk to the guy and be legit about it, tell him you know how much they cost over there, and see what happens

oh btw if you are wondering how mine was so cheap its because my friend imported it for me

hope it helps

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
