my 1960 le baron arrived saftley robert

["TRACY AND CLIVE" <imperial@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Robert for your message, I was actually looking for a steering wheel
for clives 57 at the time and stumbled across it 2 days before it was due to
close, I talked to clive about how we had to own it and so I came home in my
lunch hour to bid on it, it was a nailbitting half hour and in the last few
mins I put my bid in and kept getting beaten by a Finnish guy as he must of
had a auto bid on it, anyway in the very last minute I put in my last bid
absolutely panicked and was amazed to find I had won it for 20 dollars more
than his final bid, it was a big gamble as we only spoke to the seller once
before hand and hadn't even organised finace but as it turns out I am not
disappointed with the car and think it already looks better now its been
shinned up a little.
take care
Tracy.j
p.s I did get clive a steering wheel in the end but it sure was an expensive
one, so I have to stop looking on ebay for a while cause I might end up with
a bigger mortgage ha ha
