The first car I went to have a look at turned out to be the car I ended up buying. It's standing straight in front of my house! I have not only a vehicle, but also an insurance and a temporary parking permit. I have low levels of fuel, though, but probably enough to make it to a petrol station. Driving, that is, and not only a bike with a jerrycan.
So how did it go? Duncan advised me to go for it. The few things I was not sure of did not worry him. And then it probably is no reason for worry. So I phoned the lady, and talked bussiness on Sunday. I did not effectively buy it then: I could not take it with me without an insurance, and I would not be able to park it somewhere near my house without getting that permit. Furthermore, she wanted cash, and I can't get that much money out of a bank machine in one day. So monday was the first possibility! And we took it.
It was dark when I parked it! So no clear pics. They are expected soon. And for the curious: it's a '94 Ford Fiesta Freestyle. 5-doors. Blue with a grey bonnet. And I need to do some testdriving in daylight! All the controls are in strange places... I honked when I tried to switch on the light...
PS And then it was daylight again. There really IS a car standing there!

It's beautiful! It looks like my car. And indeed the controls seem to be in strange places...
Enough saltless remarks! Concratulations on buying your car and getting your TV to work! And now I have to finish the frickin' FOM expres and stop procrastinating...
Ik wil ook een vertaling van boem is ho! Hoe redden ze het toch in andere talen zonder dit soort treffende uitdrukkingen.
En nu, zeven jaar later, ben ook ik op zoek naar een treffende Engelse versie van deze magnifieke uitdrukking.
