That put a smile on my face

So today I had to take some rubbish to the local recycle station. While I was emptying the tourer I caught a fella with his head in the drivers window "Can I help you " I said " Yes you could sell me your car" he said, I told him was not for sale "Are you sure you don't want to sell it" "Yes I'm sure but thanks for asking" "Well if you change your mind ring me first" He also said what great cars thought these are.

I Came away beaming ear to ear .

Nice feeling that!
A sales rep was at the house last week.
When he came in, he told my wife that her car was beautiful.
She told him that the 4x4 was great in the snow.
"Ohh", he said..."I was talking about the rover". 😁
Wifey wants to know why everyone who calls to the house, wants to ask about the two 10+ year old 75's. I just smiled.😄

It's a good feeling, so you didn't leave it at the recycle station after all?

I was in the scrapyard last week and noticed someone walk over to my car, have a look inside and then told one of the lads there that he wanted the wheels and seats off it. Cheeky beggar!
