Och Aye The Noo!

[Saif Rehman]

Hi Guys,

 

I am so glad i have found this forum whilst browsing the net. I'm sure i will find most of my queries answered here.

 

Well anyway, i have had to purchase a MPV this January 2007 as my wife gave birth to a beautiful little girl making a grand total of 4 kids, so our two cars had to go to make room for the Galaxy which i purchased (wait for it..............) of fleabay!

 

I had been looking for a MPV for about 3 months, everything from a Zafira, Sedona, Alhambra etc etc. Then took a heart stopping moment and pressed the 'But-it-now' button on ebay even though the car was in High Wycombe (350 miles away!!). Booked a cheap plane ticket to London, guy picked me up, drove for an hour and half back to his place, test drove the vehicle, checked paperwork, paid the guy and drove all the way back home without even the slightest hiccup - phew! - was i relieved.

 

The car in question was a Ford Galaxy Mark II 1.9TDi Zetec with one owner from new, full detailed service history and in immaculate condition. So far, after adding a further 10000 miles and 8 months ownership, the car is absotuley fantastic with only the consumbles needing changed. (I'll tell you the story with brakes later in another post.)

 

I'm planning to keep this one for a few years then change it to the last of the Mark II's (hopefully a Ghia with 130bhp) as i'm not too keen on the latest Mark III's.

 

So, overall, i'm chuffed with the gal and i look forward to making some friend here.

 

Regards

 

Saif

Now there's an offer I can't refuse !

 

 

Should I bring my dominoes !

[Saif Rehman]

Well, it does certainly feel a welcoming place!

Need to get a notepad, squiggle down some names and add a note next to each one just to remind me who to watch out for!!!

 

I look forward to having a great, educational and helpful time here.

 

P.S. A little tired after the 600 mile round trip today, but the Galaxy went without any problems, bar the small increase in fuel consumption due to having a box on the roof.

P.S. I want to know why i have the 'warn 0%' in my profile:

Is this for bad people - 3 strikes and you are out??

 

I haven't seen anyone else with this.

Every member on here has one but you can only see your own..if it is zero then you havent been warned..if the number rises..then you have been warned. Usually a warning is given via pm first.If you are very naughty..then you can either be suspended for a certain amount of time, or all of your posts previewed before they are visable to everyone or you can be banned.

 

Hope this explains.
