Range Rover.
Back from the pub, and straight on the computer as usual.
Woke up the next morning to find I'd bought a Range Rover on Ebay. But not just any Range Rover, this had to be a Range Rover at the opposite end of the country from where I lived, ended up flying down to collect it, as the bloke just happened to live a couple of miles from Stanstead, and flying was the cheapest way of getting down there. The flight cost me £40, and it cost me £70 in fuel to drive it back, this doesn't bode well for the future me thought!
Still got the bloody thing 4 years later, as just after I bought it the arse dropped out of the range rover market, and I couldn't sell the bloody thing. Had to take a second job to pay for the petrol to get to my first job, but shouldn't complain really I suppose, as so far I have been pretty lucky that the tyres haven't been slashed and it hasn't been daubed in paint by the lentil munchers.
Anyone want to buy a Range Rover?

Are you saying that big, guzzling/posh/expensive motors in your area are being vandalized? By 'lentil munchers' are we talking about Daily Mail reader-types?

I think it's more Guardian readers
Daily Mail readers love them for they are BritishTM

They are surprisingly common round here
And no the Lentil munchers don't have a go, as the factory is only a few miles down the road.

(Oh and for a petrol Rangie, a LPG conversion is a Very worthwhile investment, second to rust prevention wax)
