I bought a van(L300) once that came with a free quad in the back. I thought afterwards."What the hell am I doing!" but managed to sell the van to backpackers & the quad became 'profit'. I've bought a few things over the years while 'under the influence' & been lucky perhaps not to 'do any doh', so to speak. Not so much lately.

On a whim definitely.But not while drunk :-)
I threw a bid on a Corolla that I hadn't even looked at, to use as a runabout while my car was scheduled to be off the road for a conversion from auto to manual and some other work.Ended up owning it as that was the one and only bid made on that auction (seller was not happily surprised).
It came with 3/4 of a tank of gas, excellent service history, goes like a rocket, and flew straight through it's next WOF check with a clean sheet.I think I've been running around in it for about two months now, and if only it had power steering I'd be keeping it instead of the far more expensive car!There's something appealing about a car that is so basic that the one feature that it has is a heater.
