So we were unable to come to an agreement on the price. He thought the value of the spares included made up for the cost, and I said given off the state of it I wouldnt really pay over scrap value for it as a yard ornament. He did say that maybe if he couldnt find a buyer he would think about it though.

However he offered to pay me to put it back together and see if we can get it started to at least confirm the last shops diagnosis so of course. I said hell yes and he's locating the parts that are missing.

This story is not yet over.

This could not have (not)ended any better.

You still get to touch a crazy Biturbo. The. You get to fix it and get experience fot when you buy one.. PLUS you get money towards your own

That sure sounds like you get to experience biturbo ownership (which doesn't seem to include operating the vehicle, given the odometer reading) without any of the downsides.

The piercing/needle part really barely hurts (I would say about half as painful as whacking the nerve in your elbow on a doorjamb) but I refuse to consider what ripping one out must feel like :gonk:

I worked with a guy who got his wedding ring torn off and partially degloved his ring finger after getting it caught in a running accessory belt while doing god knows what.

I imagine it's pretty much the same deal.

Wearing rings or any jewelry around machinery is pretty dumb.

Good thing I hate jewelry, but some people just gotta have it I suppose.

Seeing as it claims to have working electrics and "a bit ripped" means bear attack, I assume "nearly new tyres" means original tyres?
