Thought I'd share a bit of this with anyone who wants to read it....
So I'm Andy,
I'm an Aussie - I live here in London and I'm married to and have a little boy with my wife, who is from Sweden.
A year or so ago the Swedish influence must of taken hold and I had a huge desire to get an amazon estate - it never faded
So very recently I went and got one....
from Scotland....
I had been watching a car that was for sale up there for a while but it did not seem to sell, an estate in Scotland with no engine/box and in need of some love...
But it looked solid enough in some of the typical places that I had seen a lot worse on the other cars I had seen - especially in the engine bay....
So I was very tempted - but it was so far away and what would an engine/box cost to sort ????
Then low and behold another car came up for sale on eBay ........
It was a 122s 4 door that was running and driving and complete but sorn and rusty
It was time to go for it - I called the seller of the estate, and committed to it - In fact I sent him the money for the car, and threw some bids in on eBay and came through !
I'd just bought two rusty old amazons sight unseen..... I must be mad.
This news needed to be delivered home at just the right time.... In just the right way....
So I come home one day with a mates trailer - moving some other cars around at home and then pop out for the evening to Hampshire somewhere - home late.
Over breakfast the wife looks out the window of our flat and turns to me to calmly ask;
WTF is on the back of your car ???
So much for the right time/right way plan !
More to come.....
