    Bugger. Make sure you leave your number in case the deal turns sour. I missed out on a car once, guy who had driven it earlier called while I was taking it on a test drive. Left my number anyway and 4 days later the lady calls me up and tells me the other guy couldn't come up with the cash. I went straight round and got it.

    Its a bugger when that happens. I never got over missing out on a tuxedo black Factory 253 LX SL/R torana with a genuine XU-1 motor in it. He only wanted 3k for it, and he promised to sell it to me but a few months later his brother sold it to someone else. Man I was spuin!
