I can top that, I think?

I bought my first SVX in 2000, sold it in 2004. Before I bought it I had not ever seen one. I had not sat in one, I had not driven one. I bought it from a website in Japan, and imported it to Ireland. [they were never sold here new]

If you ask people what their first internet purchase was, they are likely to tell you a CD, a book from Amazon or maybe concert tickets. My first internet purchase was a car. An SVX. From Japan.

Love at first sight from a great distance.
