There's a very nice E38 near to me and more than once, I've thought about sticking a note on the screen to let the owner know of my interest if he ever decided to sell. The reason I haven't done it is that I have only ever seen the car in the owner's drive, so it might look a bit odd skulking about with a piece of paper!

So imagine my excitement when tonight I spotted the car in Aldi and was able to park next to it! I had a quick look around it, liked what I saw and thought 'now's my chance!' But could I find a pen and scrap of paper? No such luck, and by the time I ran into Aldi and borrowed a pen, scribbled a few lines on the back of my shopping list, the car was gone. Dammit.

But does this method work? My wife thinks I'm nuts and sees it as being on a par with stalking - I admit I've driven slowly past the guy's house a few times!

Has anyone here ever bought or sold a car where you've found or left a note under the wiper?
