So picture the scene, its a hot day and I'm browsing the net, ebay, auto trader facebook marketplace etc when I stumble across a local car auction website that has a budget sale on a Tuesday. I register so I can watch the live auction as its online only at the moment due to covid. Stuff goes through, mondeos, clios etc. All out of my budget (I'm looking for a commuter car for work) so I being to get bored. I watch the end of a cheapish mercedes and decide I've had enough. I put my laptop to the side to grab a drink, during which time a new car has gone up for auction. I close my laptop screen and as I do so I (must have) caught the bid button in the top left corner.... An hour or so later I get an email - you are the winning bidder of lot 72... A 2006 Suzuki Swift 1.5 GLX. Paid the princely sum of £250 plus buyers fee and collecting tomorrow. It needs serious work. Has MOT until October but was attempted to be put through last week and failed on quite a bit. New front bumper needed as well as suspension arm ball joints and anti roll bar ball joints. Rear brakes and parking brake also need sorting. Big dent in the boot lid too. No wonder it only went for £250! Lesson learnt, be more careful!!!

I’ve put together a review of my Superb Estate over on YouTube. i don’t think that anything I say will be groundbreaking for people who come here, but you might enjoy it (or not 🙄). link is here should you want to take a look
