The story - fair dinkum...  I was sitting at Macdonalds with my sister in-law Kelly and the kids in the playground and I saw this cute convertible drive by.  It caught my attention and on further investigation...  WHAT CAR WAS THAT!!!  It was a Barina.  Anyway - the next week I was checking the classifieds and there she was - just up the road.  Anyway the folks were grey nomading and due back that week and to avoid any issues my demands with the guy (a racing car driver - I forget his name) that it was credit card and I had the car by such a date.  All good great - get the car home all's good....... .........................



UNTIL...................... she doesn't start the next day showing off to my bro! Ohh F! I've been scammed, dad'll luv this.   Bro Skin to the rescue - on the phone hassling the dude - back to the mechanic - new battery and alternator and you know what - she's great!    No scam intended - pure mistake with a wrong battery attaching itself to the bonnet!  Phew..  Now I have a great town car.
