Hi all, Just stopped to fill up at my local petrol station, glanced across and a P reg Celica in dark red was being filled up by an elderly gent, the condition was immaculate, i mean not a scratch! He returned after paying and hadn't replaced his petrol cap, I ran over to point out his missing cap, I made a point of congratulating him on his beautiful car,( keep in mind he and his wife who was driving, are from the sticks, with a deep country accent) Their conversation went like this > W e've only had it for a couple of days, we mostly liked the colour really, what did you say it was called? Oh a Celica, bought it off an old boy in the village, felt sorry for him, he's 87 years old and cant see to drive anymore, we gave him a few quid for it 'cause it's only done 27,000 miles, we thought that wern't bad)
The wife who must have been in her 70's told me ' It dont half speed if you put your foot down' Blees 'em
I didn't find out what 'a few quid' was, i bet it was a steal!
I had to leave, people behind me honking. I'm still smiling at their oblivious luck.
