I need a new car!

My 14 year old Camry broke down last night.

It took me 3 hours to get it sent to the work-shop.

With 250,000 km under its belt, it looks like I better get serious about getting a new car, but with the current economic situation and with a new house in the pipe-line to pay for, a few adjustments may have to be made.

Grateful is as Grateful does

Following on from last week-end's adventures with the car and the knackerd battery... the Sith Lord expressed surprise that I returned his Kia with a full tank of petrol and some additional parking coupons.

Well it's only fair that I did so as an expression of gratitude for helping me out in a tight spot.

However, he further mentioned that as I had gone to the trouble of doing all that, he was surprised that I hadn't actually washed and polished the Kia as well.

Well... if only it had been the beemer...


maybe a trip to this car wash would have been on the cards. ;-)
