Moons ago I went to see a Vectra 2.0 LPG, when we got closer to the Sellers Street it was all blocked off by Police and no answer at All from the Seller, we decided we were close so parked up and went to walk to the House Number, Turns out the Fire Brigade were putting out a Fire Gutted Car at the Sellers Address ...... Think you can probably guess the rest of it.
Another Occasion, again moons ago, I bought a Ex Plod Omega of the Bay, All Seemed good, arranged to pick and pay, Seller gave me His House Number and Post Code, off I go to Cambridge Area, gets there, ring the Seller, Im outside, 3 mins later Seller calls back, cant see you where are you?, Im out outside number, Blah, Blah, this goes on for about 10 mins, then Seller says, Oh Hang on, what Post Code you got, then the word Bugger, Ive given you my old Address, Ive moved since then Im in High Wychomb now.
I put an Offer In and bought another Ex Plod in Aylesbury, 3.0 Manual, Seller wanted rid as it in His Words "Its gutless think its gone in Limp mode or something, just happened one day" I took it for a spin, somethings not right, Throttle feels and seems wiered, popped the Bonnet and noticed the Circlip hand come off at the TB end, drove it back to the Seller and said, do you want the good or bad news?, Seller responded, "Dont care, just want rid, bought another Car now", I paid the money, put a Cable Tie around the Throttle Cable as a temp Fix and drove Off quiet rapidly in the Distance.
