Just stencil an 'o' betwixt CAST and R

Then stencil an 'i' betwoon O and L

Voila - CASTOR OIL

No-one will have one of those and you'll be unique again. Top tip.

The second one looks better, but there's a bloke having a slash against a ladder in the background in one of the pic's.

Might be trying to put buyers off if he wants to keep it but the missus is insisting on a new pushchair!

Anyway the reserve is £1400, which is a little high, although I saw an R reg yellow one with 30K+ go for £1485 the other day.

And there's a lot of Storms on E-bay at the moment.

Might be worth seeing if it makes reserve, if it doesn't sell trying a message offering £1250 and haggling a bit.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I must admit I'm an Edwards fan if you hadn't already guessed :lol: I know what you mean about his style of riding you could spot him a mile off :lol: Did you see his brilliant save last year :?:
