Default I would like to publicly thank Nick aka FALCON COUPE

Tonight, Nick gave up his time, for a total stranger he had never spoken to before, to inspect a coupe for me.

I had basically made the decision to buy the car, but wanted someone to check it for me anyway.

I have since put a deposit on this bad boy and i shall have it in my driveway in about 2 weeks.

I would like to thank Nick and think that everyone should know what a great deed he did for me.

We should all be so kind.

Thanks again.

Dave.

yeah the way i see it is i get a fully rebuilt driveline, with receipts for 15k, and a good bodied coupe for 20k.

so i get free wheels, interior etc etc....

i had no problem in paying the price for it.
