A TYPICAL STORY!
"When I arrived Home on leave I bought a second-hand car. It looked fine, but after 6 weeks I became so "fed up" with all the trouble and expense I was having with it, I sold it and bought a NEW FORD and brought it back with me. Never had the least trouble with the new car and the rest of my leave was the most enjoyable I've ever had."
