Default Who knocked on my door then?

Had a guy knock on my door this afternoon, now this is not unusual as I have a crappy old Transit parked on my drive, and the travelling scrap metal dealers (you know who I mean) kindly offer to remove it for me on a regular basis.

I was all fired up and ready to invite him to leave but to my supprise he was very polite and wanted a closer look at the Sapph.
He seemed pretty keen and said he had one in bits, so I showed him around and he went away happy.
Hopefully he won't return in the small hours with a Hiab!
He mentioned PF, but I forgot to ask his name.

Was it you?!

Similar thing happened to me last month when I was washing my Mondeo (2nd car) with the garage all locked up.

A Red Astra pulls up and he proceeds taking to me asking about my car and how the re-build is getting on.

He stated he had a Left hand drive saff and did'nt know what to do with it.

Same as you he seemed nice enough but after he went, I was like WTF

He could be anyone!!!

Ha ha. No worries, Nice to know an old Sapph is still appreciated - It must be nearly as old as you!

As a quick update, I am pleased to report that it wasn't spirited away in the night and I still haven't cleaned it. :-(
