Bear with me on this...
Youngest future DiL passed her test 18 months ago so i spent several weeks finding several nice 'first' cars. None meet the criteria so a rust bucket KA was bought without my knowledge. It was the 'right' colour, so after £750 plus £1k of repairs 9 months later it was written off after colliding with the back of a taxi. Middle future DiL passes on her old Clio, lovingly looked after for 6 years, and I recommend a full service and belt change. I took my eye off the ball and this was not done, so as a result, the belt snaps tonight and the cost of repair is uneconomical.
Desperate phone call from future Mrs L...can I source another £500 banger for future DiL?
Erm, what with scrappage, what do you think. My suggestion of a pushbike for the next 12months did not go down well so I am keeping a very low profile.
Any suggestions, apart from emigration..
