WHY IS IT.....?
That you sell your uber-reliable workhorse, as your wife has bought a new fairly cool runabout (Fiat Cinquecento), your BMW 2002 has arrived out of storage (and everything still works!!! ) and you've run out of driveway space. So you sell it...
Only for the friggin' Fiat to throw its dolly out of its pram (waterpump seizing) 170miles from home, in the p1ss1ng rain and then the "nice-men-in-yellow-vans" take 3 hours to collect you from the side of the road. W@nkers.
And then you get home just in time for your uber-reliable workhorse (Carlton) to be collected following its sale...
Watching it drive away I found myself looking back at my driveway thinking "One Hillman Imp that goes, but has a dodgy steering rack. One Fiat with a duff waterpump. One BMW with no MOT. And one garage full of little pieces that once was an Imp that needs a small miracle right now. And the only really useful car is just heading off up the road. DAMN."
Hey ho.
Excuse the rant - its been one of those days.
