New car acquired at last
I'm writing this retrospectively. Today me and A****** went to collect the car. Of course, I had to make two trips, having first forgotten the MOT certificate (ooops) and, erm, some kind of vehicle registration document . . . V5?! Why would a V5 be important? But, yeah . . . during the second return, the old R-reg Astra, perhaps sensing something was going on, decided to leave great big plumes of grey/blue smoke in its wake, as we cruised around Lancaster's infamous one way system. I figure, "Well, we've driven the car before with an almost dry engine, so it's nothing new." Who needs oil, eh? But yeah . . . new car is fantastic, but we haven't had a chance to go on a decent drive yet . . . motorways, country roads, all that kinda stuff.
