Cheers Folks See ya all later, have a good christmas and new year and all the best for the future. Dead gutted im having to sell but Hey Ho, life goes on SEE YA

sorry to hear that Chris but you're right family comes first. Unless you sell the wheels and other bits, put standards back on then you''ve got some money and still got the surf. run it on veg and maybe that would all sort it?
If you still decdie to sell, good luck with it but you don't have to have a surf to be here though so don't disappear completely
all the best mate, hope you have a good christmas

Well here goes, in a way im glad and in another im peeveed off. My buyer for my Surf (My ###### Brother) Has let me down, he came last night, we talked, then he came today and drove the surf and talked some more, Deal was done and dusted until an hour later when he let me down by text message. His excuse was he didnt want to buy a motor IN CASE it broke down. Now i have had my motor for 3 years or so and it has never let me down once. He was getting it at a really good price cos he was family. I called him, had a wee run in with him and told him if he wants a decent motor to stop buying old bangers at £200 and spend thousands from a garage with a warranty. All his previous motors have been A couple o hundred pounds worth and keep letting him down, god am not to cuffed with him. Plus side, al just need to keep the surf and work a shed load harder to pay for christmas and stuff. So u aint got rid o me yet

Sorry to hear about your ups and downs. Blood is thicker than water and all that, but perhaps avoid selling anything to your bro in the future, sounds like too much heartache.
About Christmas - IMVHO you shouldn't push the boat out every year just to buy lots of consumer stuff for your kids and spend a fortune at Xmas. There is no reason that this one day should cost more than anyone can comfortably afford, so cut your coat according to your cloth, and remember the best gift you can give the kids is yourself, a happy home, and a memorable day. I am sure if you explain to them they won't get 40" xbox million dollar prezies this year, they'll understand in time. Best of luck!

Hear hear!
Best thing about christmas is time together, a big dinner, the roof over your head, a log on the fire, and the knowledge that everyone is healthy!
Sod the presents, they really dont matter a jot in the great scheme of things.Cutting steps in the roof of the world
