I bought a car off Ebay two weeks ago. It wasn't planned, it just sort of happened. If it was a baby at least you'd have nine months to smooth the way with your parents, but I didn't have anything like that kind of luxury. I would have killed for nine months.
I was just sort of looking at Volvos on there, my thought process went: "Oh, that looks nice. That's quite nice. Ooh, look at those seats. Flip-up headlights! I'd like those. I couldn't even think about one of these unless it was being sold in Coventry. This one's being sold in Coventry. I couldn't possibly afford it if it went over £400. I'll bid, but I'll definitely get outbid in the last few minutes because that's what happens and even though I've just put a stupid impetuous bid in someone will come along and pay more."
They didn't.

But now you have a whole new way of exploring the area, and there's loads to see and do within a shortish drive of Coventry!
ReplyDeleteI can't help it, I'm already anticipating the first in a series of Volvo in Coventry stories.
ReplyDeleteI can't really afford to see or do anything in the car apart from sit in it and pretend to drive it. Fun times.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, Brennig...
But anyway - I shall return from Devon with pictures and suchlike.
