chitty chitty BANG......[silence........]

Leicester has gone to car heaven and he went with a BANG. I was driving home from my first ever parents evening, travelling down the main motorway between Leamington and Coventry, when my car exploded. It quickly decellerated, and I was left on the side of the road with Semi-Trucks blasting past me. Road Side assistance came about an hour later to tow me away (free of charge with my car insurance - the only bonus of the whole ordeal) and now I'm without a car.

Let's just say the £450 I wasted on Leicester lasted me 6 weeks and boils down to £10.72/day. The BEST part is that the guy who sold me the car, phoned me that exact same evening to check in on how everything was going!!!! Talk about Karma. He insisted i didnt' take care of it like he had explained to me... talk about confrontation... let's just say I kept my cool and said ADieu.

NOw I'm looking at getting a second job so I can get back on the road again and not bust my budget. What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger........

Sorry to hear that Steve. I have placed my Golf on the nearest ocean-going vessel (the Moyie) and hope it arrives in the UK for you soon!

There's more where that came from - just think of Spain and the ridiculously wicked time we'll have....two months and ticking.

Head up young person!
