523.0. "Car swap" by THATIS::LINDLEY (Strewth mate.....) Wed Mar 29 1989 13:20

    I am looking for someone in the Reading area who has a lease car with a
    towbar (and hopefully a trailer) who would be prepared to swap cars for
    a weekend sometime soon.  If you can help, mail me (THATIS::LINDLEY or
    John Lindley @REO).  The use of my 205 GTI 1.9 is offered in return.

523.12car with towbar needed......LARVAE::CLEMENTS_DThu Mar 26 1992 16:1832
    OK, here's the sad story.
    
    On Xmas eve, I get tail ended and the car is off the road for four
    weeks. I have two weeks hols then and could really have used the car to
    tote the family around.
    
    Get car fixed.
    
    Last night SWMBO booked a pitch at a site so we could spend a few
    days away with the family over Easter in the van.
    
    Last night as I am sitting at the end of the traffic queue waiting to
    traverse the RHR, some ba***rd stems into the back of me and writes off
    the only just repaired back end again.
    
    AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    That feels much better.
    
    
    Is there any kind soul out there that isn't using a family sized car
    equipped with a tow bar over Easter? And in particular one that they
    wouldn't mind swapping for the week-end?
    
    Any takers, please either call me at home (0635-521842) or mail me.
    
    Thanks to someone in advance of a flood of offers. 
    
    BTW, I just checked with the "repairing" garage, and the car is a
    write-off....
    
    I give up.

         as I am going skiing in Scotland.
    
    
         In return my MR2 GT in Aqua Marine is yours.
