Mr Meringo - We're looking for local runner/drivers if you're in Devon?

Bob12 - I'm guessing you don't have anything that fits the bill?

Cheers,

Misha
I suppose it all comes down to price? are u looking to buy or hire somebody with a car?

Where in Devon are you? I have an dark green 240 estate, which is very dirty and a bit knocked about, but it's also a bit modified (alloy wheels / spotlights etc). Has a big boot with a roll-over cover and a roofrack.

I'm in central Bristol as opposed to Devon, but could volunteer the car for a day if my expenses, i.e. fuel and food are covered, just for the novelty of it

Default Volvo wanted

I have an early 740 saloon in gold

BUT

its not rusty (insult!) and we come from near Brighton so a fair few miles away for your mileage reimbursement. No special features, just immaculate and with no added extras.

Interested: mail audakt@tesco.net for more info and pics if wanted

What does this pay ?
Is it worth someone driving any distance or taking time off work ?
