Although I would gladly do so if I thought I could flog it someone who has nothing better to spend their money on for £2250.00 It's a bit like, I wouldn't buy a classic Ferrari, but if someone gave me one, I would take it for a quick test drive, sell it and buy another house, several motorbikes and cars that I actually like. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
