I dropped the car off this morning at the garage. They wanted it for 9am. Janet followed me and brought me back home. They never give a time for it to be collected, until they have had a look at it. It had a service while it was in there. They rang me at 1pm to say it was ready. I rang Janet and told her I didn't want a lift, as I am going to walk to the garage. It was 3.4 miles. Most of it is road walking, but I know a way to come off the road and follow a farm track.
It was very windy, but thankfully no rain. And the car has passed the MOT test. Yipeeeeee. No need to change it just yet, it's a good one. £225, paid with cash. Catch ya later. Toodle pip.
Yipee! It's always a relief when there is nothing to be done. I love my 12yo Ford and have no plans to replace it. Paid for, fuel efficient, and does the job.
ReplyDeleteI have had several Fords. Two Cortina estates, an Escort, and now my third Focus estate. I think they are reliable.
DeleteI've never had a bad Ford and we joke that our driveway looks like a Ford car lot. Everything from Focus to F-150 pick up trucks.
DeleteThe only car I would describe as a "lemon" was a Jeep! Couldn't get rid of it fast enough. Started to go wrong before 1000km driven
