Now, I'm going to be a party pooper and predict that once more the Tx will mysteriously remove his non-existent car/van from the airport parking place by having his "friend" who has a haulage business take it down to him. Voilà, you will have been fed yet another story and won't have been able to check out the existence of the vehicle and therefore the fact that he didn't get anywhere near you around Christmas time.
At this point you will finally get it and shout "Eureka! I've sussed this guy out!"
And that's the last you or we will ever hear of him!
Goodnight all!
