Some peoples idea on mint items are way off the mark

 

[mozzarooni]

Travelled 50 mileish so it wasnt to bad, would of filled the guy in if i had to travel many many miles lol
My search continues, blessing in disguise really just found out ill be 5/6 hundred quid better off the first weekish in feb, more money for a valver.

So true - I lost count back in the day of going to look at so called 'mint' rs turbo's (both escorts and fiestas, when I wanted one) I wasted so much time on t*ssers who serously hoped to sell the their crappy examples.

If I say somethings mint or at the least vgc - then it is
Chin up though Moozarooni - you will get a good one !

 

[mozzarooni]

Many thanks cat, yup im sure if i bide my time something will come up

theres quite a few if you look properly

 

[Englebert]

I imagine it's quite hard to find a actual mint ones these days? Is annoying when people make stuff up though... surely they realise you won't want to buy it after blagging like that!

Always the way.....if someone says mint you can usually take that with a pinch of salt
