Default what a day!

been waiting all afternoon for the guy to come and collect the white 3 door.
all week a mate of mine has been trying to buy the car,even offering me substantially more money for it,but morally i couldnt do it as i had took a £500 deposit and the bloke had sold his escos to buy the 3 door.

as he was driving the 3 door out of the garage my mate turns up and offers him what he had offered me for the car and guess what......he sold it to him

had i have known he was going to do that i could have sold it to him myself and got the extra money-i have been compensated but how fuckin mad is that!

sometmes i wish i didnt have so many morals

but also shows just how good the 3 door is-its stunning

And that's what it's all about Jay - your word is your bond, you sell proper cars and people will deal with you. Thats worth more than £500

what a waste of time!
