Thanks Buffster.Buffythedebtslayer said:Sending love Beanie. I think we have a mutual friend who had a utter nightmare with her mobility car. It is just awful service. Really glad the doctor was good and good for you going.
As SA said further up better days are coming right? XXXXX
Yes, we do.
While the mobility scheme itself is fantastic, the dire fleet insurance lets it down very badly.
My worst experience in nearly 30 years of driving.
