Haha, I bought a car like that one time. The guy had nothing but trouble with it, replaced almost every part on the car to keep it alive. I bought it and never had a lick of problems. Everytime I would see him he would say "You're kidding me, the car is still running ok??" I guess he replaced the last bad part just before I got it.

Sigh.
In my case I was the guy that replaced all the knobby bits.
We had a four-wheeled farm bike that I bought at a clearing sale; it gave me nothing but trouble.
After twelve months of seemingly working on the damned thing before being able to use it, I got so fed up with it I gave it to a mate to use for spare parts.
He kept it nearly ten years, used it regularly, and never laid a spanner on it.
Sigh.johnboy

Right after I posted yesterday it was down again, I don't think it's getting better.
Where is everybody?
