I was not going to buy anything for a bit. Then there was a 'phone call from a chum about some cars going I used to own. So I told my buds and before you can think I have agreed to buy one of my old Larmars back as part of a shared trip. I have been reasonably keen to acquire a Larmar as they are just so strange. I have tabs on one in a mountainous region of the country but details remain sketchy and it is a part of the country I am not greatly fond of trading in. So why not have one that fell in my lap. After all I should own three Larmars really, means you are a Guru, and then have Larmar racing. It has to be the car least likely to be raced.
In the event the trip was made and my chum found that the Scootacar Mk1 he was expecting was actually a Mk2 which I also used to own. He did not want it. This created a slight prob as the deal agreed was for a pair of cars. So I drifted over to view our hosts cattle and talked farming and breeding for a bit. Pays to have an understanding of many and varied subjects. It was then agreed for a lesser price I should buy both vehicles. Hmm, the finding of money, tricky. It was managed and we had our deal except it was now mine alone. The Scootacar is actually better than I recalled so I shall keep it to restore. It has been vandalised so no glass, no lights and the mirrors have been ripped off. Once again it has an 11E. I am getting unsure that all Scootacars had 9E engines. Maybe Mk1s did. So I now need to out something for refinancing and space. Especially since I have several other local viewings to make for long stashed items of interest. I also really need to find a Mk1 Scootacar to make the pair. I am not very good at not buying things am I?
