 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.

  • Comment: I'm not sure I understand the question, but perhaps you're asking about the type of car we've just 'purchased'. It's nothing fancy, a September 2003 registered Vauxhall Astra, kinda halfway between a hatchback and a saloon, but a hell of a lot more reliable than the last vehicle (it also somehow seems to handle a lot better). This car leaves no burning engine oil in its wake, nor exhibit any of the other strange idiosyncrasies of the last car.
