...by the generosity of a certain OOFer! :o
I shan't name names, as I don't want to embarrass him, but I've only met this fella once at an OOF cambelt meet a couple of years ago.
Anyway, he has a car that I am interested in buying, but he's well over 100 miles from me. I've not actually driven one of these cars before, so obviously I need to see if I like it before I even decide whether I want to buy one at all, let alone this one.
So what does he do? Firstly he offers to loan the car to me for a little while, free of charge, no strings attached. Then he offers to add me to his insurance. Awesome right, it gets better...
I was planning to drive over to him, leave my car with him, and drive the new car back. 'No need for that' he says 'I've got a truck coming up your way on Sunday to collect a car, why don't I get the driver to drop this car off to you on the way?'
I'm properly tickled pink!! The spirit of OOF lives on!! :y :y
-
:y there are some good egg out there still
-
Well it no good not naming him after he's gone to ALLL that trouble...? :)
-
Def in the spirit :y Think I could hazard a guess who you are talking about aswel, if I am right my father said he was nice chap when he met him.

He knows who he is. If he wants to he'll confirm, but out of respect I don't think it's my place to. :y
-
Well done mystery OOFer :y :y. Nice to know there are genuinely nice people still out there. :y

Sounds to me like the sort of thing an extremely nice car-dealing OOF member from somewhere near oxford would do :y :y :y :y :y

Indeed... I was about to say that I knew who it was and he's a good egg ::) :y

Nice one...... :y :y
Now lets think about this, you are in Norfolk and he has a truck or access to a truck to move cars, how far from you is that Lundun place?....... :D :D :D

Not just yet mate. I'm hoping this one will be a good stepping stone until I turn 41. I'll have a few quid coming my way then, and I've absolutely promised myself a VXR8!! ;D :y

Would it be a certain estate mentioned in another thread?

If it's the guy we were discussing last weekend, good on you James, or if it's the other guy who's not far from me feel free to call in and have a cuppa. You could have a blast in the 'other' car if you want.
Regards
Alan

No worries Alan. I suspect I'll be down your way at some point, so I'll definately take you up on the offer of a cuppa and a blast! :y
