Re: Sainsbury's Nectar Points,True Story.
Bought a Ford Escort at one time just after we arrived here in Oz. Not knowing much about the motor trade here I bought what was maybe not a lemon but close to a Lime.
Ran reasonably well but no good in the wet I found out. Under the front passenger seat there was a hole, not sure if it shouls have been there but in very heavy weather one could end up witha wet a***e.
It was economical thought, about 100 klm to a litre of oil.
Sold it in a part exchange and saw it on the road again about 6 months later. Always a sucker somewhere.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
