She wants to sell it
He wants to keep it
They NEED the money

It became more ludicrous. It was on, we'll collect you from the airport, here's our bank account details for a deposit. I was going to submit a deposit at 9pm tonight. His missus texts me to say he's too stressed to sell, they're really sorry, he can't sell or think clearly. I call and explain my car sells tomorrow, ie buyer collects it and that he is now backimg out, again despite asking me to advertise mine to speed up the sale of his.

So I'll have no Lotus tomorrow, I'll have some money though. Might wait until winter for a deal now. Use the empty garage space to give it all a good paint

It's a f ucking car, not a child.

You either sell it or not. Too stressed?! Comedy gold if it wasn't so tragic.

Exactly mate. It's a car. They come, they go.

After all the messages about collecting me from the airport, this was the text

I am sorry but we cannot go through with the sale at this time. X and I have had a good talk tonight and we just cannot do it. It has been a whirlwind ride and X is under an extreme amount of pressure. He cannot make the decision at this point in time to sell the car. Regards Y (wife of x).

It's genius!

Exactly my thoughts.

A dreamer that the world will squash as he travels though it!
