    Hello lovely readers of beanies' car chronicles.
    The wonderous joyous news this lovely Friday is that my wee car has failed MOT no 2.
    I am now making arrangements for a lift to another town to help celebrate DS's birthday.

    I am so done.  Just done.

    Time for RSA Motability to look long & hard at their choice of repairers I think. 

    So I think the moral of the story is have a motability car but do not ever ever be in an accident as what happens next is just dire. Especially if you drive any kind of adapted car or want a small replacement automatic.

    The toll this has taken on my mental & physical health is not good.
    Car chronicles to be continued.................
