My 17 year old son phoned me up all hot and bothered wanting me to go and check out a car for him (just got his licence).
I called the guy selling the car and arranged to go and have a look see. So I drive over there (25min drive) and he tells me 'sorry just sold it'.
This is not his fault, I could have given him my number had I thought about it, just to avoid this.....

It still shat me a bit though.
