My cars
Had to get up at the crack of dawn to take my car in for a service, for the price they are charging me I could get a second hand car, but as Gerald says, at least I have the peace of mind of driving something reliable.
I bought a car for £300 once, it was an old Ford Escort, it always felt like a death trap and I never liked it. I took it to the garage to check something and the guy rang me up and suggested I go down there immediately. When I got there he showed me that the floor of my car was just reinforced cardboard, I had to laugh, I promptly sent it to the scrapheap, I felt like a bit of a fool for being conned like that.
I then went through a succession of minis, the old original ones. They were very cute and used to get me lots of attention , but even those used to break down every few weeks and it used to cost me a fortune to keep them running, more than a new car actually. So they all went as well, I remember seeing the last one off with tears in my eyes, they were the sort of cars that one stupidly became attached to.
Then there was the excitement and elation of having a brand new car. On the first day I got it, I scraped all the hubcaps on one side and within the first two weeks I had driven into a gate and got zapped by a speed camera whilst showing off with Nyo in the back. So what do you reckon about all of that ?
