I have just spent the best part of 2 hours..yes 2 hours with a "customer" This chap turned up this morning and after a very thorough examination of the car, (he brought a kneeling pad and blanket) he asked if he could see the paperwork... He went through all old mots and service history with such detail and at the same time decided to bore me with every car he has owned since passing his test some 30 years ago and virtually every repair he has done to each car...bear with me.. He asks to go on a test drive so we are getting somewhere...He wants me to drive for at least 5 miles so he can "feel the ride" apparently this is the only way to know if there are any problems? He liked playing with all the controls while i am driving, i really appreciated the hot air blowing in my face while trying to explain how the sat nav works...He then took over as pilot and drove at about 35 mph in a 60 and i could see the queue of car building up behind me...still telling me about all the cars he has owned. We get back to the ranch and he says is the price negotiable? Ok we are getting somewhere after another boring chat in the office for half an hour and a bit of to and fro with the price he finally says it... " i have got 1 more to look at " At least the sun is out..!
