Even that title cant express just how much of a sod this man is!!
A couple of weeks ago I managed to drive up north (bay of islands) in a almost nonstop drive (I had to load a 2 ton truck on my own in auckland) from Wellington. I unloaded the truck and drove my mum and sister back to auckland (managed to buy a sofa and a stereo on the way, arg) so after a 40 hour stint you can imagine my delight when my mum said she wanted to buy a car. Worse she had her eye on a rover. You know, made by that firm that went bust. I gave that sod frosty a ring and tried to enlist his help in convincing my mum that this was a bad idea.
Between the two of us we must have generated some doubt in her mind (JESUS :weird: ) becuase she did have a look at a few cars online just before I entered a coma.
Anyhoo, roll on friday and my mission is to make sure my mum doesnt buy the rover and that she gets something else before midday (my sister had to be back up in the bay of islands by 4 that day)
So she takes me to the dealer on old north road to look at the rover. I would have looked at the engine (at 60,000kms) but the bonnet wouldnt open.
The peugot that we test drove (and gods she liked :( ) had the papers showing it had had a water pump replacement and a head gasket replacement (part of standard service the "guy" told us, like whateva bitch) at 80,000kms. not good. I used this car to take mum to frosty.
This is where it got easy for me :D
Frosty looked at my mum (who has stuffed hips) and knew straight away that she had difficulty gettin in and out of cars.
I wont bore you too much with the details but needless to say she did buy a car. A lexus 300 1999. And thankgod for frosty (my migrane has gone) he "managed" my mum sweet as (she can be a pain) and, get this, sold another dealers car.
Frosties dealership had nothing that suited my mum so he took her to someone else. What a man ! And before you think "well he would have got a commission" Im pretty sure frosty waived his so that my mum could afford it.
My old lady thinks the sun shines out of his ........oh nevermind.
Either way frosty isnt a sod,bastard,ars,fucker or any other name you care to mention, just dammed fine bloke. cheers frosty again, oh and for the van as well :D
oh and I drove the lexus back up north, for a toyota front wheel drive 3litre auto its got more power than my mum will ever use, freaked out a guy in a late model beamer tho :D what a bloody nice car to drive.
everyone give him rep points and take your mamas to him :clap: :clap: :clap:
