Some Great Finds
After the UK Whitegoods Meeting, I travelled back up to Hull with Nige. I needed to get a drivers door handle for Gareth's Polo, so it seemed a good idea to drop in to Simpsons Salvage on the way. Yes, I know it's not exactly on the way back, but it's not far out of the way, now, is it 
Found the Polo, after a few calls to Gareth to check. Turns out the door handle design changed quite considerably the year his was manufactured. And at £10 I didn't want to be getting the wrong one. The big find, though, was a Jaguar V8 Sovereign, with a full set of interior mats, chrome V8 front grill, rear airvent, and highlevel brake light. Nige was over the moon, particularly since he's been watching eBay for months now, trying to get a rear airvent for reasonable money. Of course, we knew that, being Jag, it was going to be silly money when we got to the desk to settle. So, imagine Nige's surprise when the bloke said it'd be £65 plus VAT 
We paid and made a sharp exit before he changed his mind
