Hi there -

is there an exceptionally generous person in the Aberdeen area of this planet who wouldn't mind going to check out a potential Coop for my girlfriend?

I would be externally grateful, as would she as it's a few miles from Norwich and I've got a bad knee, bike's got a puncture etc.

I may be able to fly up and get it if it's a winner, but if it turns out to be a lemon, then I'll be most relieved not to have to drive it seven hundred miles home! However, it's too much a bargain to pass up if it's good!

Hope someone can help -

greasemonkeys!!! With your mrs exceptional demands and expectaions i'd see if the queen minds viewing it. If it passes her standard you will be ok to get it for her

Im sure you will get someone to have a look for you, all the lads were down at the Dundee meet tonight so might not see this post till tomorrow.

Ha ha ha!

Not my standards, unfortunately! It has to be fit for the queen before it even gets a look in! I want her to take your bl00dy one and be done with it!!!

I'd like to think most of us Aberdeen guys know all, or at least nearly all, of the coops up here.

Any details mate?

I'll happily assist if I can

Well, it's advertised on Pistonheads, the link is here:

The guy is a mechanic who bought the car off a local garage (who had it from a dealer who took it in part-ex, apparently ) and I think he just wants shot of it, but I'm a little catious as to why he is selling it so cheap. He says that he spoke to the previous owner yesterday who claims to have all the paperwork still, and that the cambelt's been done last year.

An un-named mechanic friend reckons it might well be a lemon so obviously I would like to have it looked at as I won't really have the chance to check it over properly without seriously committing myself (I'm in Norwich - 9hrs away)

Thanks loads guys - hope to hear from you soon.

Cheer buddy. Did he mention which garage by any chance? That one was on Ebay last week, the plate is very easy to remember but I've never seen it around before.

I have a feeling i've seen that one before. I think it's the same one that the owner used to work out in dyce.

No probs. Let us know if you need it looked over.

Hmmm, I looked at that on e-bay as a potential for the Mrs.

I'm sure I've seen it in Union Street before, being driven like a nutter as it happens!!

Was only sitting at £860 on e-bay when I looked, in the end couldn't be bothered looking at it! My own coupe hardly ever sees the light of day, let alone getting another one.

I really do remember that number plate, I'm quite sad that way.

But oddly enough not on a coop.

Anyway, good to see you're still around MrB. Has anyone heard anything from Edd?
