I was kinda keeping this quiet guys.........Conaero and a couple more members had complained about the chasm in price of their current Gss and 4200s and how they would have to wait for some time before their respective partners or accountants gave the nod to buy one!

But luckily, I came into some money a few months ago and I thought I'd fulfill another dream and buy a GT.


Hold on..........the phone...right back........

Ok....ok........so the spec wasn't great and maybe the guy I was buying it off was a bit...."foreign"......but I thought, why not, he must be desperate at that price and as long as a few checks come back ok......am onto a winner!

The advert went......

Verde Goodwood Coupe.

4200cc Petrol, Automatic.

Bose Powered Hi Fi System,Comfort Pack Front Seats,Navtrak System,GSM Phone Kit,20" Birdcage Alloy Wheels,Skyhook Suspension,Tyre Pressure Monitoring system,Trim in Aluminium Grey,Stitching in Grey,Brake calipers in aluminium,Telephone,Alloy wheels

I know what your thinking....a green one.....but if it looked good in the flesh........why not!!!

....ooopppssss......................some one at front door..........................

I hadn't quite worked out, why it was so cheap...........too good to be true....buyer beware..........get an indie inspection....but the guy was really insistent.....

"Once in a life time offer...won't get better price than this for another 18-24mths.......be ahead of the pack!"

He slowly reeled me in.............his phone was going all the time in the background........he said it needed sold today...no ifs or buts......£10K cash up front...balance in 3 working days..............

Was I gunna be Mr Lucky......Mr Bet everything on black...................



Oh dear.....................postman.....give me 10......

Made an appointment........................I was as nervous as kitten......like a combo of a prom queen and getting married........clutching the brown envelope in my sweaty hand, feeling mildly sick......S*H*I*T, what if he mugs me as I arrive, his mates knock on my car window....pull me out of the car and rob me...they know what time I am arriving.......I circled the block a few times..............hhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


Pulled in...........he was waiting.....wearing shades, smart suit.............big smile...................
