FRIDAY ALL DONE
The Bloke has phoned to say that the car (which had a teeny 10mph bump into a parked car when it was being reversed in the snow - it suddenly found a grippy bit) is a total write off as the chassis is buckled. The parked car is costing the Insurers about £750, if that, they even offered a renewal quote of hardly any difference from the old one.
But Bloke's motor was obviously engineered to self destruct at the first thump.
I think I might get my way and have a Volvo next.
And I'll do the drivingI could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -
That's better Soappie - I hadn't commented but then I was avoiding looking at her -
all washing dried - I have some ironing to do and some iropned and aired to put away. Trying to get my head round some planning now...
Jojo sounds like the bloke's car is also a bloke IYSWIM - 'crumbling' at nothing!
apparently there has been a 'run'on 4x4s can't think why
