Well as most will know I sold my supra to a french men on saturday. It needed fuel so he asked me to lead him to a fuel station and thats all he needed. Well heres where Ed can relate. This person has said that he has been to view alot of supras blah blah blah. 45 mins later my mobile goes off, yes its him. He is telling me that he can not put fuel in the car as he can not pull the flap open.

 

Well needless to say iI had to explain for 20 mins that there is a lever by the boot release, next thing he says theres no boot release. Im now getting annoyed as hes having a hissy fit down the phone. In the end I had to get him to get someone to come onto the phone and explain to them where it is and then get them to show him.

 

Now this person had no problem finding it as they opened the door without a word from myself. They then continued to explain to him and show him and he was trying to use the folding mirror switch to open the boot. Correct me if im wrong but my supra had a pic of the mirrors on this switch.

 

Now he is in the know I hang up. all of a sudden another call, ffs, is this person simple. Answer yes. A french voice asking what fuel diesel or petrol. WTF! After all this I have not heard off him since thank god. He was to say the least an unpleasant person.

 

So Ed your not the only one fella lol. :p

What i found interesting is the fact he came over with out a sat nav or map then asked me if portsmouth was 30 minutes away as he needs to be home soon. What the hell hes in south wales, I couldn't help but laugh. He also bought the supra then when lifting the bonnet was disgusted that there was dirt in the engine bay, horrified that the car was not in show room condition and said my tyres were no good they are flat, ffs they are low profiles.

 

To start off with I had to go to customs and ask them to release him, god knows what he said to them but he turned up with over 3k no baggage and unable to speak english, they were going to send him back lol. Also he will more than likely be selling the complete exhaust system (manifold the lot) as in france they can not modify the car or some shit, also the harnesses, the uk lights.

I can sympathise with him on this one as in different countries fuels are known with different names. In Greece and Cyprus for example, Diesel is called Petrelao which could cause confusion as its sounds like petrol. Petrol on the other hand is called Benzina, so I'll give him that one.

 

The fuel cap one though is just silly.;)
