    Webuyanycar.com

    Sold a couple of cars through them years ago, quick and easy compared to private sales, haggling with the dealers etc, but not a particularly pleasant experience as the old blokes checking nit picked and sneered a bit.

    Decided to downsize to make one car for the two of us which meant moving the 14 reg Polo GT on, sadly as its huge fun to drive. We buy didn’t offer the best price but it was good enough, and the car has developed a few issues - air con gone (no amount of regassing would help) tyre pressure warning permanently on - either reset or one of the sensors bust, and the electric windows doing eccentric up and down dances, satnav tragically out of date, digital radio essentially knackered. We thought they’d knock at least another few hundred off on inspection but this proved so cursory that only £100 reduction, the very pleasant young lad doing the check said ‘l didn’t see that’ for the warning light, all done in 15 minutes. He had another 3 or 4 checks to do waiting.

    Conclusion - if you use them choose a busy place with a youngster running it.

    Downside - wife has already spent the cash on furniture.

    The Godfather on BBC4 now.

    I thought ‘I don’t need to see this again’, but am of course hooked almost instantly. It’s hypnotic.

    I had the same thing the other night with Godfather 2. Just about to go to bed, next thing it's 1am.

    A better film, by the way.

    I look at them as one film, can’t have part two without part one.

    Less said about part three the better. There was a short documentary on before the film started, both Coppola and Pacino said they made part 3 as they were short of money.
