Thanks for checking out my auctions!

BTW: My Mum and Dad's old Volvo 850 GLT is also listed on eBay if anyone is interested: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLVO-850-GLT-Metallic-Grey-/291092011494?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item43c66f99e6


This has been a great car but I have acquired a new car from my sister-in-law. The Volvo is not required anymore, so we haven't fixed it and need the space on the drive/path.

This was my mum and dad's car (which I also had use of); when I say that - it pretty much means they've looked after it like a baby over the years!  They've had it since 1995/6.

As noted in the condition description above, the Volvo has issues (sunroof, clutch, electric aerial and possibly the fuel pump) but is generally in very good condition for it's age.  The bodywork is really good (apart from paint flaking from the rear spoiler). It needs work to get it back on the road.  It's never been involved in an accident and there aren't any bumps or dents. Currently it's non-drivable due to the clutch - Trailer required.

If you've owned an 850 Volvo before you'll appreciate how economical it is.  It handles really well too.  Anyone is welcome to view before bidding - please contact me via eBay message.  Thanks.

It would be a shame to scrap it, which is why we're listing it on eBay.  It would be suitable for someone who has time (or patience) to fix it or for someone that would like it for spares and parts.  Even the tires are valuable and in good condition.  Obviously the car is quite dated, but for it's age it's in good shape.

Mileage:  152802
Transmission:  Manual - 5 speed (6 including reverse)!  :-)
Engine:  2 litre - 1998cc
Colour:  Metallic Grey
Tax / MOT: None
Location:  Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire, United Kingdom

PLEASE NOTE: This Volvo is advertised elsewhere and we reserve the right to sell it before this listing ends if necessary.
Please contact me if you are interested; thanks.

Thanks for looking!  Please check out my other auctions too.

SHAPES "The Two Greedy Flies"

SHAPES


"The Two Greedy Flies" I composed the music for this animated series. 'Shapes' is a children's series of 39 x 7 minute episodes (Season 1), in which simple animal tales are brought to life using animated shapes. It feature's the writer of 'Backyardigans' and 'Little Einstein' and the voice talent of Joe Murray.

Music Composer: Jon Brooks
Dubbing Mixer: Lee Williams
Audio Post: WASP Studios
Animation: Peach Blossom Media

The series' quirky animation, simple lines and bold colours appeal visually to children, while the light-hearted stories keep them entertained. Kids love animals, so these stories, filled with talking animals both cunning and foolish, will capture their hearts! At seven minutes each, these mini-episodes are bite-sized enough to engage their attention fully.



The music throughout the series plays a supportive role. The style is generally fun and whimsical with hints of drama!

Famous fables from around the world are brought to life using characters created from different shapes! This pre-school TV series retells beloved children's stories from Aesop's Fables to Australian Aborigines folktales using colourful shapes that cleverly form animals like rabbits, cats and even fish!


Created by the multi-award-winning animation studio Peach Blossom Media, each episode of this charming series entertains and teaches pre-schoolers about universal values of love, respect, courage and kindness.



Each story is presented by the narrator, Badger, who also comes on at the end to draw a conclusion from the story he has just told. Badger chooses fables from all over the world, both ancient and modern. Just because a fable originated in Ancient Greece or among the Aborigines in Australia, it doesn't mean that the lesson it teaches isn't relevant to kids everywhere.



The uniqueness of the series lies in its design concept. Badger has at his disposal thousands of different shapes of all colours and sizes. He uses them to form the various characters and locations needed to tell each fable. Sometimes the shapes are unruly and don't do what they are supposed to. At other times one of them falls out of place or turns up late, thereby disrupting the story. Badger interacts with the shapes, creating plenty of funny moments for kids to enjoy!

Independence - Clive Farrington: This album exhibits a fusion of styles; blending classical orchestral elements with a modern day electronic sound… as an addition to this, ‘Independence’ also boasts a hint of the 80’s too!  It’s already receiving extensive radio play and Tough Monkey Records (TMR) have just negotiated and licensed two of the tracks to GAP (Mexico) for use on their latest compilation CD. Some of the music tracks could be classed as a cross between the ‘Pet Shop Boys’, David Guetta, Scott Walker and Robert Miles. The songs are honest, suitably original and highly emotive.
