I hate cars

Ramblings / June 11, 2008 / John / 0

We’ve only had this one for six months – we bought it after our previous car quietly died in the school car park. Well, our current one has just quietly died on the way to work. So, much hanging about waiting for the A.A. followed by a trip to a garage where the owner gleefully rubbed his hands together excitedly at the prospect of charging me an arm and a leg for bugger all.

Grrr

Update: Our perfectly good car is apparently only good for scrap. Because one component has failed. Unfortunately, it’s a component which (including fitting) would cost 50% more than the value of the car.

Again. Did I mention this happened before? Only six months ago? I’m buying a gypsy bloody caravan and an old nag to pull it. Oats are cheap.
