I bought this for the Mrs 'cos I had another company car on the way. I bought it from the transport manager at the company I worked for. Stupidly, I assumed it was fine. It was an ex-company car, FSH, etc, etc - he was the transport manager and told me it was fine. I didn't even open the bonnet - paid my £800 and job done.

All was well until the MOT. Verdict was that it was fucked. The floor was so rotten that it was unrepairable. Bollocks. I took it to a mate of my brothers who said he could sort it. A week later, I get a phone call from me brother "About the car.... it's burnt out. The welder had a bit of a fit and set fire to the fucker - it's a write-off". Double bollocks. The guy gave me £250 for it. So I lost £600 in about 3 months. What a fucker.

I later learned that another lunatic mate of mine had smacked the aforementioned wanker of a transport manager. Result.
