Going to get the truck

I contacted the guy and explained what i wanted to do and he said it would be fine for that as he had contemplated going it and then decided it was too much work and decided just to sell it.
We agreed a price and i bought it subject to seeing it and was as he said it was, so we arranged to go the next day down to Manchester in my van with the wife to see and hopefully collect it.

My Fiesta Van

We arrived at his house and there it was standing outside and had not turned a wheel for weeks he said not had it been started.
So i thought...yer...they all say that, but when we got in it, it started after about 9 times turning over, so yer he must have been telling the truth as if it had just been started it would have fired up straight away.
When we looked at the logbook the guy i bought it from, his business was called Fred Dimner Ltd, i thought it strange, he did not look like Fred Dimner and also he was dead....was this a ghost...lol....Nooooo it wasn't, the guy explained he used to work for Fred and when Fred died he along with a business associate bought Fred's old house and turned it into a Museum.
We went for a run round the block as it was still taxed and insured etc, it went fine no un-necessary creaks and bad noises.
So when we got back to his house i said yer...i will have it, we done the paperwork, paid him and now it's my truck.
It had very little fuel in so we were directed to the nearest fuel station with the wife following and filled it up.
Now we were ready to head back, we got onto the M60 and headed north, it went well and i was very happy with it and said it will make a good doner vehicle.
We arrived back at home after having no problems with the truck at all.
