The Mitsubishi had to go.....

Well if we really are going to go we can't take all the cars so Dawn's people mover went on ebay this week. We thought the Merc might be easier to shift later on. Anyhow on ebay it went. All quite exciting when 44 people were watching it. Then someone asked how much to sell it for cash now and can i come to see it tomorrow!
And so a deal was done with cash - the nice chap came with his son which was a big mistake as we all know never shop for cars with a small child who immediately got inside and said "i want it!" so it would of course then be child abuse not to buy.
I was then persuaded to drive them back to North London with the promise of a lift home - all, I thought, better than Dawn having to close the deal when I am in India next week.
Now I had warned him the fan belt needed attention before he came, it was due to be replaced on Monday but no the buyer wanted to take it on Sunday. 2 miles down the Parkway out of Sheffield and screech bang the fan belts (2) explode! Sort of embarrassing.
The purchaser's ardour was however undimmed and Brittannia Rescue (the annual fee is worth it) fixed it with 2 new belts in the dark in 75 mins - wow!

1.45am Keith returns triumphant with used notes and one asset disposal accomplished. The guy was delighted - his wife however was a little cross!

feels like we are off the blocks! Our life is changing - thanks Mum your Fiesta is fab - washed it today in thanks and reverence.
