I'm old enough to remember when Autotrader was in paper format that came out weekly! I think it was regional so the cars advertised were only seen in a fairly local area certainly not UK wide. Hard to imagine that was how a lot of cars used to be brought and sold.

There’s a bunch of Mercedes folk out there on the Mercedes forums that would be interested in a low mileage W203 once it’s fixed. They are a far superior drive to most regular new cars. Might be worth lobbing some info for free on those Merc forums and try and maximize profit.

called the computer generation. We deal with technology and its applications throughout the day, even the games we prefer are electronic games on the mobile or computer. So I decided to be the game maker, not the player. It has designed an electronic game that can be played by one person and can be played by a group of people. It was very impressed by the players, which made me proud of what I accomplished. This will encourage me to design more complex electronic programs.
