In the interest of equality, I thought I'd post this tale.

Last week I responded to an ad on 'Auto Trader' for a Corrado VR6. I had a long list of questions for the owner, given that his advert was somewhat minimal. Our conversation went something like this:

Me: "Has the oil been changed regularly?"
Vendor: "I don't know, I lost the service history."
Me: "What does the oil look like?"
Vendor: "Err...I don't know."
Me: "What colour is it when you top it up?"
Vendor: "Err...I don't know. The colour of oil I guess. I don't know much about cars"
Me: "What is the timing chain like?"
Vendor: "Err..."
Me: "OK. When was the car's last service?"
Vendor: "Err... I don't know. Like I said, I lost the service history."

I proceeded to ask a few more pertinent questions, but decided to call it a day when he cheerfully added that the horn didn't work.
Me: "That's an MOT failure."
Vendor: "I'm a careful driver."
Me: "What do you do if someone pulls or steps out in front of you?"
Vendor: "I shout at them. I've got quite a loud voice."



I can't believe that I spelt know 'now'.

Emma,

If you had purchased that Corrado, I could have sent you a V.popular bumper sticker here in the States:

HORN BROKEN. WATCH FOR FINGER
