I once fell in love with a car. It was a classic series 1 Citroen CX estate in white which had previously been owned by the playwrite and author Willie Rushton. The car "looked" great on the surface. The paintwork was pretty good with it's stylish chrome bumpers and the lovely mid-blue 1970s interior complete with rolling drum dials and non-cancelling indicators had a gentle patina of age.
I bought the car on sight for what I thought was a pretty good price. However, despite having had a test drive in it and I guess calling myself a bit of a Citroen afficionardo, I missed the most glaringly obvious things. The car had terminal rust in the chassis, the automatic gearbox didn't change properly, the hydroneumatic suspension was as hard as concrete..... the list goes on!
Needless to say it would have cost a small fortune to put the car right and so I consigned it to my parents garage. There it stayed for a couple of months until I passed another Citroen CX estate in black, prostrate at the side of the road with it's bonnet up. I called over to the chap underneath the bonnet and fessed that I also had a CX and it was free to a loving home. I gave him my card and he called a couple of days later. We arranged to meet at my parents and he drove off in my big Cit.
No idea what happened to it but I know I broke all the golden rules. Get the car checked over, look for the less obvious things, if it seems cheap there's always a reason and never let your heart totally rule your head when it involves matters of the wallet!

Spent $405 on a hideous autographed Keith Richards poster at an auction. It's been a thorn in my side for years. I've never even hung it up. It just kind of gets shuffled around on the floor from room to room, leaning up against the wall. It's worthless.

interior the ninety's I had run away to Europe the place I earned a million (large) a week employing autos and crashing motorcycles for a vacationing stunt coach. I lived in a trailer. Six months into this I had piled up lots of $ and one night after landing my bike returned.. I walked returned to my warm, humid trailer and that i HATED that trailer. The Hilton lodge exchange into interior strolling distance. i did not even exchange out of my leathers, purely grabbed my money. by using the time I have been given there i exchange into even angrier. I advised them to furnish me the "perfect ROOM they had!" I went in and fell asleep and interior the morning I paid $850.00 for the Presidential Suite. Ya, 4 rooms and a view and that i slept in the process the entire element! Dumb-a s s!

A Caravan. Didn't even have a car that was capable of towing it. Spent ages making it all nice inside then some ned put a match to it. Maybe it was just as well in the end though or it could have still been sitting there.

My husband bought knives from an info commercial. They were terrible. The info commercials are brainwashing. I try to only shop when I need something and I go and get what I need and come home.
