He decided to use it traveling from Edinburgh to Newcastle airport for one of the days and the other day to drive back giving him his two free days with a holiday abroad in between.
On the way down he had a Rover 75. What a car he said. So smooth, comfortable and fast. He's eyes lit up at the memory of this trip.
On the way back he was given an Mercedes E class. Take it or leave it he said. As far as he was concerned the 75 was a better car on every level.
Like I said a very nice man.
Never mind all that, did he fix your car?
