    You won't do anything they haven't experienced before pipkin so try not to worry about that.
    I hope it all goes well.

    Good luck pipkin.


    Well, its been a busy weekend of test driving cars and making decisions, and fir made the final one this afternoon. Because he's away I'll be left to to the picking up and paperwork and stuff, but its all sorted.

    I thought I'd be quite annoyed at the result, but he's delighted so I am too.

    Me too, being nosey! :D

    But of course, don't say if it would identify you. Not that a bright orange TR6 with the number plate LIR 1 would identify you! :D

    No, older than our last one. :D

    But looks in amazing condition for age. Comes from the garage the last one came from, so continuity of service and good deal was negotiated.

    Fir's dream car would be an aptera. (They are a electric car with three seats that look like space ships and have a difficult financial history as a company)
  • Oh, excellent! WaSp's car is very old but very solid, we bought this one second hand and it is like a small tank. It will hopefully last longer than anything newer.

    Now the important question-do you need to do the doggy dance again to get them into it?

    We'll, I won't be taking them to collect it. :D


    But....

    Here's a sad thing. ATM the situation is that big dog sits in the boot and the others in the back seat. Big dog is space defensive and dog dog likes to sit on a seat...it all made sense.

    Now big dog is not going to be here many more weeks, and I'd like the other two to get used to the idea of the boot in the new car. I'm imagining a future of being able to keep the front seat dog hair free and even have people in the back seat with out a weeks notice to 'muck out' and still need blackest to protect people from the car.

    I have a feeling the whole thing is going to be a tough sell to the dogs though. We'll see. I need to buy a dog guard for the car this week.

    I've never heard of an aptera. It sounds like a bee! Will google it.

    Will the doggy dance go down in history alongside Mr. Bean's disco dance and Ricky Gervaise's in The Office? :D




    Edit. oh wow! I want one too!
