was in the process of negotiating a deal on a megane engine i found on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4529488399&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT
when the the seller suddenly withdrew the auction.
I emailled him again to find out what the situation was and he said:
" Neal,
I'm sorry I've had to take the engine off of Ebay as my wife blow her engine up on her Lagune and I've now got to use this engine."
WTF is up with that cock and bull story? putting it in a laguna??? Dunno why he couldnt just say sorry mate ive sold it now... i just dont get people sometimes.
not having much luck getting another engine really  |

yeah so do i matey... knew as soon as you posted about the one you got... thats why i asked you where you got it from.
Was going to wait till after you picked it up so there would be no awkwardness for you and then emaill 'David' and give him some shit for telling me jackanory stories about lagunas.
Then, assuming you didnt actually find the engine via ebay and willingly pay way over the odds for it, I was going to give you the link to the auction to show how you paid £600 for a £500 (probably much less) engine
Stan will confirm all of this as we discussed it.
"muahaha" |

Try RP Services on 01892724446
They have just joined parts gateway (www.partsgateway.co.uk)
Their prices are much cheaper and they are very quick. Have always been next day without fail. Parts i have received have been in quite good nick aswell unlike a lot of these places. |
