I wanted to be a new sports car recently. I dont need the car, I know it will cost me money but feel that it will be of benefit to me and my family and add something back to the economy.
I went to Basils Garage to buy the make and model I wanted. He was very unhelpful and advised they dont want to sell their card to anybody. Certainly not Riff Raff.
He insisted that i provide him with a reference, copies of my driving licence and Insurance as well as an assurance that under no circumstances would I crash the car.
I saw the model I needed, it turned out to be second hand. I noticed that the engine was missing. Basil said the previous owner had sold them the engine. I asked could they put it back as the car was useless without it. Basil was not pleased with this and muttered something around a conditional sale.
I was getting worried now that Basil didnt want to sell me the car. I said come on I have the cash here ready to go. Surely you want the car on the road. Basil was not too sure.
He then said in any case whilst he would take my money he may in fact sell me a bike. I said hold on I want a car not a bike. Basil again said somethig about a conditional sale. As he would not sell me the engine and would only confrim I would either have a car or a bike at the date of sale i said no thanks and left.
I turned to wave goodbye to Basil who was now hitting the car with a branch saying "you are a very bad car"
What if basil put the engine back in, gave it a kickstart, sorted the bodywork and got it and nice and shiny..would you ask to buy it at a higher price, or would you pop down the road, buy one with an average engine, good bodywork tho, but the wheels keep falling off.

Basil knows a bloke in Wakefield who wasn't bothered whether he got a car or a bike. And a bloke in Halifax who thinks that if he can't have it then neither should you.
basil is reluctant to sell the car as it lost value when he sold it as new to the last buyer in Bridgend, Wales only for the cheque to bounce and the buyer had done a moonlight flit
