do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
He has another add for the same machine Infront of a sign written machinery sales business with a legit looking website linked to it with an address listed. And everything he has for sale is photographed in front of the same building so I would say legit.

can't see it????? and why is it in Dover, when he's in Yorkshire????

I was talking about the e10. The loader is definitely a skam. In the background of the photo is an American style horse box and trailer and the building looks American. So guessing the original machine is for sale in the US

So saw my dad today who told me about his exciting day yesterday. Before he was a builder he was a car dealer for 30 odd years and a friend had asked him to sell his merc saloon. Advertised on autotrader at £18k

Some very keen Albanians!!!! Wanted to come see it. Annoying dad had them upto their house/our yard not met them elsewhere.

So 3 adults show up and a kid, they park very strangely on our huge driveway within inches of the merc and nose on to my dads amarok. Enough room to park 6 wagons on it.

Next thing kid wants the loo, dads like toilet in garage but some excuse about needing to go in house so dad escorts kid and 2 of adults into house where mum was watching Wimbledon in kitchen.

Anyway they start big distraction farce about views and how beautiful the house is etc

Matey outside has popped bonnet tipped oil over engine and into radiator cap. And up exhaust, goes for test drive starts smoking and then tries to low ball 6k offer in cash out of a brief case stuffed with cash.

Luckily dads a handy mechanic and savvy enough car dealer to f them off but now cars been sabotaged!!! Googling it shows as known scam.

Plus now they’ve scoped out yard, will try get cctv off them when installers been. They’ve got a good 15 camera system so should show it all.
