Not Happy Bunny Today.

[Caran]

Our new car MG ZR had to be towed away today. The starter motor packed in. Been playing up for a few days taking 3/4 times of trying to start it before it finally turns over.
So now I have nothing to drive. I can't drive OH'S car, a merc. as it is too big and I have tried but can't cope with it.
So I will have to be chauffeured around for a while. Hope it comes back soon.

Sorry to hear of your problem,Caran

Best solution,flog the MG - and get a Porsche BoxterS ! :-)

[Caran]

It was in the garage a week or so ago for a new exhaust. The old one was a souped up thing that made it sound like a boy racers car. People could hear us coming a mile away and when they saw two old wrinklies in it they cracked up laughing at us. So to save our embarrassment it cost nearly £250!

You'll soon have the MG back, Caran. Only about an hour for a mechanic to change the starter motor.

[Caran]

Thanks for reassurance tonyav.

[tonyav]

Hey enjoy being chauffeured around until you get the MG back, Caran.

[Mamyalynne]

I've been chauffeured al my life, it has its advantages.

[Mamyalynne]

all as well

[tonyav]

So has Mrs av, I think i'm gonna change my name to Parker ;-)

[Mamyalynne]

I once bought my Husband a Chauffeur's cap , he took it in good heart.

[tonyav]

I'm sure he did, Mamya.

Mrs av bought me a pirates hat ( wonder what was behind that ) ;-)

[Caran]

I like my independence to go where I want on my own, when I want. But I don't mind being chauffeured. I have had to make myself drive more lately as I was in danger of losing confidence. I had stopped driving long distances and just confined my driving to local. But since OH'S eye problems I have had to drive further afield when he couldn't do it.

[Mamyalynne]

I understand that Caran, sorry only being silly.

I am now glad I never learnt to drive as I would have had my licence removed some years ago with my lack of vision.

So in a way better I never had it to lose.

[tonyav]

Don't worry ( or lose confidence ), Caran. You'll soon be zipping about again in your MG.

[Caran]

That's ok Mamya, I understand about your problem, just as well you didn't learn to drive.
