Well, it was not a real impulse buy, he already thought more or less intensively about these cars before and have checked others at eBay or autotrader.co.uk, but those only by Internet.
He was slightly pissed about the rust, the seller hadn't mentioned before and could arrange a discount of 200 Pounds.
Yes, he made the trip back nonstop, via the 22:00 ferry and then passing Pas de Calais in France, Antwerpen (I dhould have informed you before, that you could have spotted it from a bridge ... around 2:00 in the night..) , Eindhoven, Duisburg to his mother's home over here, all together 800km. The driving was o.k., the streets empty (the few others on the raods all made space for this extraordinary car
), but the fog was ugly, all the way, in all countries...
Why that??? Such crazy incidents are essential for a car freak's life! I'm a bit sad, that the did it alone, although I've offered my support before, because his English is not that good and he had no experiences neither with driving a RHD-car, nor driving in a left traffic country. And of course, I like such happenings very much
But he made it well - no problem for a long-time car- and bike-maniac, who participates at motorbike-races and works sometimes at driving-instructor for the police-school
