Oops

10 October 2006

An accidental Renault Safrane on eBay today, yesterday.You know how you can sometimes click on the wrong part of a website? The kind of click that leads to some other websites, immediately followed by questions from your wife about just how those images got on your computer and unconvincing explanations from you that it was all a bizarre accident and you certainly didn't intend to be looking at those pictures.

I've just had a similar experience although, for clarity, it wasn't involving nubile young women. Sadly.

Instead, I've accidentally purchased a car.

I'll just rephrase that, so it's perfectly clear: I've bought car. By accident.

Amazingly, there was no alcohol involved. Simply, it was me poking about with the mouse at the same time as I got a Second Chance Offer from eBay on a car I'd already bid on, but lost, while not realising I was already signed in at the same time as doing some work on another PC while watching TV.

It was too much for my brain to cope with, and I hit the 'Buy Now' button. By accident.

Therefore, I'm now the 'proud' owner of a Renault Safrane. Not just any old Safrane, either, but the 3.0 litre V6 powered version. That'll be economical on the Italian mountain passes…

The car's in Yorkshire, so now I've got to plan a trip up there to pick up the car, and then drive it back.

One more thing; the engine's broken...
