but will, you dont hold a full uk car driving licence. and you cant drive a car with your provisional bike licence so why would you have a car and talk about driving it to jkm rolling road? and how come on the ebay advert, it says nothing about the enginge being re-done-surely you would have to put that on there so that people interrested in buying would be informed of what was going on.

My name is Michael, I am pudseys Uncle.......

I have seen that my nephew Pudsey is having a bit of trouble with the clown and the pig as in they don't belive he has the car he has listed above. It was a summer project that we were working on together.

My name is Michael Knight, I am pudseys Uncle.......

I have seen that my nephew Pudsey is having a bit of trouble with the clown and the pig as in they don't believe he has the car he has listed above. It was a summer project that we were working on together.

I fight criminals who act above the law, championing the cause of the innocent and helpless

OK maybe not. I was just bored at work :rolleyes:

Surely the clown and pig will have all those details on their computer unless they believe he has been driving the car illegally in which case if caught the car would be crushed.

Thats funny,

pudsey & Citron727 have the same i.p. address :rofl:

strange that ........

feel sorry for him though.......stuck out in the sticks no licence, no car.......but boy can he tell a story....................and back it up too:rofl:
