A word of thanks
I'd just like to publicly thank Dave Manning who posts on here as DM.

I have just bought an SR4 from Dave and went to collect it yesterday from his home. I handed over the money for my lovely new toy and departed a happy man. On the way back to Kent we stopped at the services where I found that I had less cash than I'd expected, good job my 11 year old son appears to be richer than me otherwise we would have been hungry I just thought that I'd been careless and dropped the money in the services early that morning on the way up.

To my delight I then received a text from Dave saying that he had re-counted the money and found that I'd paid him to much

So I'd just like to thank Dave for being a proper Gentleman.

Barry

ps. Can't wait to get out now, pity I've got to work next weekend !

DHD - Read it carefully he didn't say "You've paid me too much, I'll forward your 'change'"

Pretty safe with my bank details, it's never got any money in it, I trust the banks even less

Money appeared today, as if by magic, in my PayPal account, I like days like today.

I don't think it's sad to take the piss, essential is more like it.

Thanks Dave,

Barry

Too right, despite Manning being at the receiving end.

It's nice to have mates but it would be even nicer to have one, just one, who knew who his pappy was.
