My other cars...

  1. Friday - Porsche failed MOT - defective headlight - the bloody pop up light didn't pop up - because the lens fell off and jammed it all solid.
    What an excellent time for this to happen - much gluing has subsequently occurred - all appears well and it is booked in for a re-test this Friday.
    The advantage of taking stuff for test at the first available date - a week to get stuff fixed with a free re-test and a month to get more
    difficult stuff sorted without the pressure of being forced off the road.

  5. 'Phut' went the Scarecrow and died.

    A bit of churning on the starter got it restarted and it didn't do it again but I popped in to see my man with the big spanner on my way to the butchers. 'Oy' said I, 'it went phut and died'.
    'Sounds like overfuelling' he retorted, 'or an air leak, or a bit of both. Leave it with me, take my van and pop back at about half four'.
    And bugger me, if it's not sorted and running just the same as it ever was,

    The same as it ever was.

  12. I was thinking more along the lines of it's another mong who's stretched to the limit paying a millionty pounds a month for a car on PCP that impresses her neighbours but which she can barely afford to run or fuel and God help her if she needs to buy a replacement 19 inch tyre.

  19. That's my point, they'd have been able to afford more than four pounds worth of fuel if they'd not signed up to a contract on a brand new car that they'll never own, just to impress their neighbours.
    Buy it's the idiotic new car culture that we have created in this country that makes perfectly serviceable ten year old cars virtually worthless.
