As a rule I never lose money, and it's a pretty fun hobby too. Each to their own.
It's all on .org, decided last week when I had a good few people wanting parts from it.
Got the 600 on Wednesday night.

Is it anything to do with the bent conrod it had?

A little, but mainly down to how much it was worth in bits.
At the end of the day if there's cash there, you gotta take it

Fair enough, but surely it would have been worth fixing and keeping if it was in the good condition like you said it was? Just seems like you actively look for Rovers with pre-existing issues, rather than decent examples in the first place? Yes we get that you like Rovers; each to their own and all that, so get a good one and stick with it
Fixed the boost leak on the Saab. Annoyingly it took me about a minute to find the problem this morning though I'm going to have to get a new jubilee clip to make sure the pipe doesn't pop again. If only I'd thought clearly yesterday rather than being stressed about it I would have been able to get on on track in the afternoon as well. I think a trip down to Blyton might be needed.

It was a great car save for the engine, but likewise there's loads of tatty ZS owners looking for decent quality spares.
I always try and negotiate price based on issues, which I did rather well with the ZS. I guess with a new commute involving lots of traffic, it'd be better to have something both comfy but with a solid clutch system - ruling out a 75/ZT as the clutch hydraulics in those hate traffic. Yay for plastic parts.
Seems good enough for now, we shall see.

Replaced my knackered windscreen wipers with some nice new ones on my E46.
Apparently there evo style, all I know is I prefer these to the old style, look a lot cleaner, modern and no metal bits to corrode.

Man of Honour
Nothing but I got my box of goodys off MX5 parts delivered today. 
Indeed, luckily it's a company car and I spoke to the lease company who agreed to have it changed. The car has done 81k and is 5.5 years old, my dad is looking at buying it before it goes back so I am trying to get things done.
My old company had Vectra petrol models and each one went at around 80k miles!

Cleaned all the empty fag packets out if it and jammed the glove box full of junk like gloves, ice scrapper and those chamois/microfibre sponge thingys
