Years ago i selling my GForce Cobra and some clown turned up in a banger mx5 he looked at the car and wanted a drive, he seemed serious . Halfway through the road test on a busy road he decides to drop back a gear and give the car stick, somehow he got the car into first at 60ish, compression locks driveline and rear end of car slides into on coming traffic. Sorry he says, parks up car and says I'll get back to you if i want to buy it......which he didnt. I'll never forget it. After that no more roads tests unless you make an offer for car and a deposit then you drive.....
would have been happy to put a deposit down but it wasn't even offered . car was backed out of the show room I went to get into the drivers side and was told joyriders only get to sit in the passenger's side .I had just flown from Adelaide to tassie for a joyride ffs he knew we were coming I could have joy rided a lot of cobras a lot closer than flying Adelaide to melb then to tassie spend a 800 bucks on air fares plus accommodation car hire and time away from work I don't know how much more serious I needed to be we went for about 10 mins at most then car was put on the hoist where I found damage and when lowered and got a better look at everthing found the car was not in what I would call the condition I was led to believe it was meant to be in.
but anyway it just proved to myself to ask a **** load more questions than I had asked before we got there...in the end ive learned a lot so its not a total waste plust the rest of the time we a good get away with the mrs :-) when I sold my turbo skyline I let them take it on a test drive but I followed them in my sons gtr skyline that pumped out a hell of a lot more power than mine just in case they tried a runner lol ...also the hire car and my mrs was left at the car yard I could have left them as security on the car lol
