I could have bought on for £150 in 1998 !!!!!!!
« on: 23, November, 2010 - 20:45:57 »
Back in 1998 I could have bought one of these for £150. It was whilst I were visiting an ex colleague who got a job in security, and pointed one out to me joking that it could be used as a dorm for when I visited my parents when on leave. Whish I bought the lot now. Never mind, lets hope the C5 ends up at those prices one day. Im depressed now. ???

I used to ride on that nearly every saturday! 26 grand??? what the hell are they going to do with it!

thinking about it, there were only 2 carriages (one per track, either side) so it was likely this one you could have bought.

Shame it wont run anymore.

The money looks like its for two charities, so don't feel bad because if it wasn't it would possibly not be worth as much.
