Nightmare

Me and Sam have been looking at getting a new car for a couple of months since his car had over 120,000miles on and was pretty much falling apart.. we found an MG we both liked went to view it on the Wednesday it was lush inside and outside great nick, we said we'd take it and where going to do a check but the guy said cash only since he didn't have a bank account, so we went back did all the right car checks on the car, looked at past service history ect.. We went back up and our friend had a look and waited so he could follow us back, handed over the cash £1500 off it, thought that it was fine... we got on the motorway.. 5 minuites away from where we bought it from, going about 70mph on the motorway the car suddenly started slowing down went into the lay by, car wouldn't run or even start. So we called the guy we bought it off and the phone line was dead it didn't even go too voicemail. Lee took the exit off and went back to the house knocked on the door and too our suprise the house he claimed to live at was empty. No-one lived there, just a lode of mail through the door, We called out the AA and the police, the police pretty much said we've lost the 1500£ it was our faults.. the AA came the battery was dead so they literally jump started it so we could make it home. Got home about 2am, despite having work at 9am, we litreally went to sleep, At 8am we called the mechanic he came out looked at the car- needs a new battery, new cam belt and head gascut has gone. The total would come up into the £1000's to repair the car. So litreally we've got a useless car and £1500 shorter. Learnt our lessons to never trust anyone who are selling cars. So now we have got 2 cars to scrap and no car. Wahoo. Loving life. Least we get something like £65 each for scrapping the cars, looks like push bikes for the next month or public transport. The next idea is to get a contract hire car which is brand new and you pay something like £300 a month. The whole thing is a total nightmare.

But i hope Rebecca is having a lovely hoilday in Wales with her great grandad and grandma and making them run around after her!! :)

Sorry about the typos to angry/tired to go back and change them!
