    what are the chances!?!?!?

    my new car- the Galant- i searched all over the place for one that i wanted, and found one- in Rugby- all good- only just over an hour away (so nice and close), and from a garage (slight bonus).
    So proud of myself for finding it... got its paper work through a week ago, was looking at it today--- and looked at previouse owner (guy was sellin it for a friend through their garage- called him just after agreeing a price with me- then came out lookin like he had just been given a tellin off--- sorry.)

    previouse keepers address (before trade/ garage)... a whole... 2 miles down the road from my house--- yes thats a whole 4 mins away-lol.

    what are the chances of that--- we drive for over an hour to a tiny traiding estate in middle of rugby to look at a car that has taken me ages to track down, and... it used to live 4 minutes away---tehe
    :lol:

    Should stick photo through last owners door, and tell him were it is now-lol.
    What do you mean "You're only supposed to blow the b****Y doors off"? ... They lift off!!!

    I bought my current one and fitted to it were the wheels from the last car I had, didn't know until I picked it up and the guy mentioned something about having two sets. The first car was from the midlands and the second from Colchester!
    I also drove about 1500 miles around the country looking for the perfect one to bring to Germany only to buy the first one I looked at, 28 miles from home.
