Mystery future blind sort of purchase,

[garbaldy]

Well this is a new one even for me but I fear I may have been hoodwinked by an old friend who went of the radar six years ago into taking away someone elses potential troubles,

 

About 9.15 mobile rings,

Me, now then stranger hows tricks.

Mate, no bad hope you and your family are keeping well.

Me, yeh we are all good what can I do for you the neet.

Mate, I've just been chatting this bird up in the bar and she hasn't been able to sell her car for weeks,

Me, yes it appears to be very slow time for selling.

Mate, well I've told her you will definitely take it of her hands as I ken your still car mad.

Me, well I might if you tell me what it is.

Mate, nah it doesn't work like that haha.

Me, what do you mean.

Mate, I've already told her you will take it and we have just dropped it down at mine.

Me, well what is it and how much.

Mate, you will find out on Saturday when I get back home and you collect it.

Me, well at least tell me how much it is.

Mate, nah that would spoil the fun.

Me, does it need trailered.

Mate, nope it's moted and drives ok I will call you Friday night to sort out a time.

Me, eh ok but how much do I need to bring,

Mate, just bring a wedge and we will sort it out Saturday.

Me, eh ok by for now.

 

So there you have it a mate who vanished years ago has out of the blue agreed on my behalf for me to take an unknown car at an unknown price,

What could possibly go wrong.

[Supernaut]

Wow, what a 'mate' they must be.

 

If anybody I knew tried to pull something like that I'd tell them to FRO.

 

 

However, from a spectator's view, this could be amusing!

[sporty-shite]

Top mate, that. Getting you stitched up with some unsaleable chod so he can get his end away.

 

All I can say is, it had better be cheap. And make sure you post up loads of pictures.

[garbaldy]

We used to hang about all the time and he was a decent bloke but when he split with his wife he disappeared of the face of the earth.

Wouldn't answer any of mine or other mates calls, I'm kind of looking forward to meeting up again.

[Pillock]

Or course, if you don't like it then he's out of pocket, and stuck with a car that's a pain to shift. So I'm not sure you've got much to worry about, not like you've got to give a shit about a mate who vanished for 6 years.

 

If we're placing bets (and we are now, because I'm starting it) it'll be a smiley Fiesta diesel in metallic green, every panel dented and with six minutes of MOT.

[Ghosty]

I think Ka. Or maybe Daewoo Matiz.

[bub2006]

Bright metallic green xsara Picasso with full length ragtop,1.6 engine with oil leak and no sills

[eddyramrod]

2014 Audi A4 TDi with a rash of black marks all over any HPI check?

[Split_Pin]

Your mate sounds like a right old chanty-wrastler, avoid.

[Supernaut]

A dark green VW Polo with fucked windows.

 

Wait a minute...

[anonymous user]

I assume if you do get it we can look forward to a raffle on the same terms

[Skizzer]

Nine replies and nobody has realised that it's a blue Citroen AX yet?

[RoadworkUK]

It'll be a Vitara.

 

Or a Bristol Beaufighter Cabrio that she's failed to sell because of woefully inadequate eBay description and pictures that make it look like a distorted Crayford Cortina (which it kind of is, really)

[garbaldy]

The misses and I have just been discussing it and she can't wait to see what it is,

 

This was a mate I grew up with and I kind of miss him so I'm hoping this will be the start of a rekindled friendship.

[garbaldy]

I assume if you do get it we can look forward to a raffle on the same terms

A blind raffle now that could be fun.

He has failed to answer two texts since his call so looks like radio silence.

[Matt]

start of a rekindled friendship.

 

Or start of a murder investigation.

[taxi paul]

Great. Like tales of the unexpected. Cue the music. Your humming it in your head now aren't you. ? I know I am.

[Timewaster]

We want pictures.

 

 

 

Oh, and a couple of the car as well.

[The Moog]

Well someone did pull that p6 from eBay .... Just saying like....

[Sheefag]

Great. Like tales of the unexpected. Cue the music. Your humming it in your head now aren't you. ? I know I am.

 

Actually, I'm doing the dance.

[surprisingskoda]

I've a mate like that. At least he would keep it going and not go incommunicado during the week.

 

Red astra mk3 or mk4 in chancy faded pink and full of disgusting sweet wrappers and the other muck women store in their cars.

[Cavcraft]

If that actually works in real life, theshadow must have more notches on his bedpost than Zorro's practise forest.

[Vince70]

I'm going for a late 90s VW Beetle with knackered electrics and a powered by fairy dust sticker in the back window with dented sills and an Ebola infected interior.

 

Or it could be a high mileage early Bini with a knackered gearbox and non working power steering.

 

But it maybe something real upmarket like a 90s E46 316 with terminal rot rear arches and a timing chain that sounds like a skeleton having a wank in a biscuit tin and a head gasket that's been living on hope and Kseal.

 

But it could be even worse as what happens if it's a Laguna II IDE even if that was for free surely that would mean never speaking too your mate again.

 

But I'm hoping it's something nice like a Ledbury Maestro.

[billyboy406v6]

Golf ragtop, with faded red paintwork ?

[rantingYoof]

The only 1.4 Skoda Octavia ever successfully sold.

He doesn't sound like much of a mate to me and is taking advantage of your better nature. I would guess it's something pretty unsaleable.

[purplebargeken]

There is only ONE blue AX if you don't mind, all the rest are imposters.

[jonathan_dyane]

Horsey Horseless?

[garbaldy]

If it turns out to be a blue ax then I shall be a happy man at least it will sell easy enough,

I'm guessing it will be another rover kiss of death though.

[HillmanImp]

My mate dissapeared off the planet after splitting up with his wife. He suddenly called me out of the blue and said that he had met a girl in a bar and bought a car for me but wouldn't tell me what it was.

 

Turns out it was a brand new blue Land Rover D701 SWL that my dad had bought or something like that.
