Years ago, I'd sometimes return to the car to find an offer-to-buy note tucked under the wiper. Then nothing, nothing for ages. A couple of months ago I woke up to find this:

It's a bit of a gamble washing my car! As every time I do somebody thinks I'm selling it!
Had a fair few chats and notes posted on my screen! started last year, can only be good for the cars future as there is genuine interest!
