Bye bye little car...

... will we ever see you again?
(We suspect not. In fact, the garage just called to say we might want to start window shopping.)
In exchange, they left us with a small red thing that Mike fears is a semi-automatic, which I rather thought was a kind of gun. I have my doubts about being able to drive it, which as I've two hospital trips and a Pilates class in the coming three days may be a bit tedious for Mike! |

Small red thing

Small red thing, thankfully, only has a semi-automatic mode, as well as proper automatic.
I'm also fairly sure it's actually a rollerskate.
(Mike drove it up to the woods, to see how it worked, then we walked Jo, then I drove it home. Longer trip to the hospital later.) |

Do three posts about the same thing = a post about three things?

Back from the hospital, and my that was uncomfortable.
Country roads: bouncy, squeaky and shaky.
Dual carriageway: juddery, shaky and not very nippy. If I'd done gear changes like that when I was learning to drive, I'd have had my wrists slapped.
Town: terribly over speed bumps, felt like it was about to stall when I pulled away from a roundabout.
I'm not sure what the intended market is for that car, but I don't think it's us. And now my back and arms ache.
Mike's off looking at cars tomorrow afternoon, and I don't envy him driving around the south east in it. |
