I drove to Birmingham and back on Friday to view a car.

Described as great condition, perfect interior.

Unfortunately, people are usually at their least honest when they have something to sell.

I spoke to a guy from Essex about his car and asked him to describe it honestly.

We spoke on the phone for a while and I asked him (based on his description) to deliver it to me on the understanding that I would pay for his return train fare....

I guess he didn't think i'd notice the fact that the bonnet was a different colour to the rest of the car, the rear wheel bearings were shot, the seats were sagging and full of fag burns, the front bumper had a crack in it and was covered in scuff marks, you could poke your finger through the inner sills and to top it all, the car was absolutely filthy inside!

Time wasters
