It's sad that it should play on my mind after all these years.......but........i wondered if someone really needy had bought it and then i'd have stitched them up with a load of bills
i suppose i should really be blaming the toe rag that clocked it
Clk Sec.......yes, are you willing to offer any

Hmmm.... before the age of criminal responsibility I believe (or am I wrong here? You'd have gone to Australia for it in 1807 all right) but after the age of reason according to the Jesuits. Perhaps you aren't so virtuous after all...:o)

Euuurghh. couldn't have tasted that good then.
On the historical dilemna - there's no changing the past, but - perhaps if you sell another car privately
to a punter, you might 'put some back' as it were. It might slighlty re-order the cosmic forces in your
favour.

When I was doing some searching of family history, cam across:- (not the relative in question)
John HUTCHINSON alias John SOWLEY aged 50 years
Brought before the Court 8th July 1826
"Charged upon the oath of Charles HORNBY of Osmertherly (sic) in the North Riding Innkeeper with having on the 12th day of May last, feloniously stolen, taken and carried away from and out of the dwelling house of him the said Charles HORNBY aforesaid sundry articles to wit ten yards of blue cloth and two brass candlesticks of the value of ten shillings the property of the said Charles HORNBY"
verdict: Guilty. Judgement of death entered on record.
Now if Brundstom got his way.........

you commited a minor sin. i suppose as long that was the only major thing wrong with the car then you may still be allowed to queue at the pearly gates.
to attone i think over the next 2 days you should go out of your way to do a nice deed.
bless you...

Can't help noticing in this thread what I can only call a widespread nostalgia for the cloth in the broadest sense, taking in forms of eastern mysticism.
Are we about to witness the formation of a storefront (or in this case backroom) church?

I can't see that it makes the slightest difference. 120,000 is a negligible mileage for a Volvo 240, and in any case much better for the car than a smaller mileage over the same period.
It shows it was probably used on long runs rather than just pootling down to the shops.

Ah yes a Confession Room..........

Stop trying to make him feel better.

Evn I KWYM, PU.
The poor man's career is in ruins. Stop gloating.

Sorry Lud - gloat withdrawn.

I note, with interest, that you asked about the morals of selling a clocked car *after* you had sold it.
One needs to prioritise doesent one.

bit late now but someone clocked it in the paper trail to auction i would have done a complaint to trading standards and let them sort it,some one did it some one wanting sorting
|
as a punter ,if you want to avoid a clocked car buy new- but perhaps not as I heard Fiat were zeroing their speedos.
You buy a secondhand car out of the paper on what you see, not what some lying salesperson tells you.
