Hello Bill, my wife said "I think we have sold the car" so I went along with it. I actually bought its replacement before I put the Citroen on the market, sad thing is I prefer the old car to the new one so in a way I hope the new one may have to go cos we can't afford to run three cars.

No problem Jerry ~ you will be getting a email shortly advising you that you have won €11 million on the European on line lottery because your email address has been picked out at random as a top prize winner.

So all you have to do is pay the guys in Holland around €25,000 for lawyers fees and taxes and the money will be yours

That's another scam that does very well and thousands apparently fall for it every year ~ personally I just can't understand how unless they are pretty thick.

Bill ~~~ who can only afford one car let alone three even though I won the European on line lottery four times last year and once this year
