I'm taking this opportunity to blog while waiting for an urgent reply to an e-mail I sent. Today has been another hectic day but partially of my making.
I had to visit my company office at Birmingham Airport this morning to collect and drop off paperwork and to say hi to the people I work with but hardly ever see. I took the opportunity to nip into Birmingham to look at some cars that I saw advertised.
I've never seen a bigger bunch of pups in my life. The advert said that they had 10 MX-5 1.8i's in stock. I phoned yesterday and this was confirmed. I arrived to find that they had 5 MX-5's, four 1.6i's and one 1.8i. All of which looked like they'd seen better days. Even the 1.8 looked like it had done way more than the 45K on the clock.
No way would I pay 4k for something in that state. At least I have other ones I can consider instead.
I'm now at work at my customer's site, my normal abode, trying to finish off 2 urgent shipments that need to be despatched yesterday. Its there end of quarter and need the parts delivered to the customer's in order to claim them as sales. Things are looking iffy on that front as they need to get through customs tomorrow or Friday a.m. at the latest.
As one is going to Turkey and not arriving until 05:00hrs on Friday that is a definite no-no.
Well better get back to it.
