Quite a coincidence!

Postby Bern » Wed 29.03.2017, 08:32

On my way back to Somerset from the NEC yesterday I had to drop off one of the guys I work with in Cheltenham, in a B&Q car park.

As I was getting out a guy comes up to me and asks if I like my car. Turns out he had previously owned my Elan. He lives in Ledbury. He bought it from someone in Devon, and sold it to somebody else in Devon.

What are the chances of that happening, I've never been to Cheltenham before!!?

I was followed for a mile or 2 by an ex-owner of a car I used to own. When I parked, they explained why they were following. I was 100 miles from home too.
