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!
