The mind boggles sometimes

I know someone who has always had nice car, currently driving around in an A4 SLine Cabriolet.

They have all been on fianance though, and every time he upgrade....so now he is in a £30k car with £45k fianance.....crazy if you ask me.

Is it worth reading past the 1st page?

It's scary stuff, as easily done.

Oh dear... I feel quite sorry for that young lad salesman has done him good and proper there.

I dont get the mentality of some people, he knew the guys on that forum woudl rip the mick out of him and yet he still posted about it. I'd have kept my mouth firmly shut.

Oh and YC - tell me more about this left handed sponge. I'm a leftie I could do with one of them sounds ideal for my purposes...
