that we were <,> going towards the curb mm and because we we skidded because we had no no grip on the back tyres because they were bald back tyres and it was <{><[>rear wheel drive car <.>shoot shot off towards the um the curb and he saw a car and he didn't realise it was a parked car he thought it was coming towards us and so had to get out of the way of the car swung the wheel back braked and we <.>s shot off towards the milk truck <[>laughs mm smacked into the it was sort of like the back corner we sort of took out the tail light on the side and sort <{><[><.>of the car sort of swung around a bit more and sort of <,> whacked into the side and lifted it up and down again and <.>it like a wee bit of panel folding at the front of <.>i andrew's car not that you could tell because it was already like that when he bought it <&>7:00 <[>mm laughs right and you know everyone was fine i had a bloody sore shin <,> for a week actually it shouldn't have had bald tyres if he'd just bought it <,,> <{><[>i <.>don't <[>five hundred dollar private sale i don't <{><[>think he was that picky <[>i i don't think it was <{1><[1>yes <,> you know you are legally required when you <{2><[2>sell <[1>laughs <[2>it also did not have three month warrant of fitness and registration on it i was going to say you are legally required when you sell a car even privately or six there was a <{><[>six month registration and three month warrant of fitness it's supposed to be half the time <[>to have a warrant <,> warrant of fitness at least unless it is one of these as is where is um not guaranteed to go cars in which case mm see mike <{1><[1>mike was a silly boy <{2><[2>because the mini he just bought <[1>word <[2>in which case <.>y you're not offering it as a viable right moving option so <{1><[1>mike was a <{2><[2>silly boy because the mini he's just bought <,> um does not <.>it the <,> the warrant of fitness is due this month and he's only just <{3><[3>bought it like two weeks ago and it's supposed to have three <{4><[4>month's warrant of fitness which is half the time half the period of a warrant of fitness and i don't what the story is with the registration though i assume it should be six months <,> which is half registration no? <[1>right <[2>michael <[3>oh <[4>clears throat <&>8:00 no <.>i if it's a private sale the registration could run out just after you've bought it it doesn't matter i mean it's up to the OWNER to register it regardless right it's just warrant of fitness <{1><[1>it should be roadworthy <,> his warrant of fitness is i mean his registration is good till the seventh i think <,> <{2><[2>seventh month so tut <,> and he's got no muffler i don't know if you noticed laughs <[1>mm <[2>mm mm sitting in the car you can't hear what everyone's saying
