Yellow vx220 behind me tonight leaving edinburgh airport and heading over to Fife (8.30pm ish). Reg begining BEV *** Thanks for livening up my drive home

Titanium S2 Elise (I think) in Dunfermline 15 mins later, being chased by some nutter in a golf

Reg ending MAC

Was hoping I would've been spotted for first and last time (buyer collects my car tomorrow) which would've been ironic but seems not.

Good luck to all you SE owners and I really hope to be back someday.

Cheers,
Jon

Almost forgot spot 3 of the evening, red S2 Elise with white stripes parked on level 3 at multi storey Edinburgh airport. Must be emotional or something as I seem to have had my eyes open on last full day of Elise ownership

for a while anyway

Jon's car should soon be back in action on-list with a vengeance once its new owner gets his internet access sorted and creates an account in this den of questionables

Jon - you can be sure she will be well taken care of. Alarm ordered, valet kit at the ready, Ian is making a list of "all the wee tinkery jobs to be done". Fingers crossed the readies have transferred ok

See you Thursday night all being well!

Campbell, I thought I'd said telephone banking. Thats how I bought the car, transferred to the seller in seconds via same banking group. Think we had our wires crossed on Sunday but 3 days should be enough for internet

Aha! Fair enough then - must've been all the excitement!

Instant transfer (between UK banks) is usually possible only with CHAPS - then it happens at noon or so, effectively. Usually that costs ~25 quid.

Companies have BACS transfers which can happen on the day you want, but only by you asking for them up front a bit.

All the other transfers (whether you telephoned or used 'tinternet to request them) take 4 working days, but some banks take the pi$$ and make that 5 by the time the credit actually shows up in your account.

Cash is king - instant transfer and immediate credit of funds in the bank.

Cheers,
Robin

You can do a simple HBOS to HBOS transfer via t'internet or phone and it hits the other persons account immediately, they of course will never guarentee it, but have never let me down!

Post by **campbell** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 11:43 am

Yep, it was the inter-account but intra-bank transfers I was thinking of. Most of my family are with what used to be the Bank of Scotland and shuffling money around (not that we have much of it, sadly) proved easy and immediate.

Just thought same would be true of NatWest-RBS since *supposedly* they are the same organisation. Clearly not!

Anyway, the important thing is that the swindle-merchants in the clearing bank system have now done their job, Ian confirmed the cash is with Jon this morning and we are GO for collection tonight

I seen this in the long-stay car park on Tuesday - thought it might be one of the trolley dollies! A big Blondy!

All the best Jon - hurry back now with another liz.
