Sad Day Tomorrow

[queenofmean]

After nearly 4 years me and my car are parting ways. Was a pleasure to learn in him, but he needed repaired after a while and owing to circumstances out of my control it didn’t happen.

Scrappy man comes at 9.30 to take him away.

RIP Tito

But I also get dinner with my Godmother to look forward to so it isn’t all that bad.

are you getting a new car

[Islay]

Oh I know how you feel, when I had to get rid of my beloved car it broke my heart! Took me a couple of cars to find one I love as much but I did and you will too.

What repairs did it need, queenie ?.

[queenofmean]

Not until I pass my test Jenny..I’ll be getting OH’s if I’m lucky, but I HATE driving it.

I have an ide of what I’d like Islay...it’s just whether or not I can afford it. But my wee heart is broken, I loved that car and I named it after someone who was an inspiration. Guess they will both now be at peace.

Needed a timing belt, a new spring, 2 new tyres and a new drivers seat Tony.

Always found it amusing how people name their cars.
My last car was named shiit bag.
Pile of junk it was!

[jennyjoan]

You will get a car you like. I used to have a vivid green car and I exchanged it (car was fine) I loved that car - really loved it. Anyway if you haven't passed your test you can save up for a really nice car when you do pass.

[jennyjoan]

You have had a hard life Nailit between life and cars. But it'll turn around soon.

[tonyav]

If I lived nearer to bonny Scotland I could have probably sorted that for you, queenie.

Timing belt hadn't snapped had it ?.

[queenofmean]

Latterly Nailit it’s been called the Heap.

I’d love a Ford Focus RS Jenny but they are £25,000 :( I’m sure I’ll find something I like that I can afford.

OH has said he’ll pay or help pay for a new one but I don’t want him to have to fund 2 cars

[queenofmean]

I know you would have Tony :)

I don’t know it just refused to start like it would turn over but would just not get going.

Keep away from 2016 /17 RS Focus's, queenie.
Big engine problems !

[Barmaid]

Queenie, £25k for a Ford Focus RS? I paid slightly more than that for a brand new Mercedes!!!!

Personally if you have only just passed (which you havent yet, but you soon will) an RS will be a b***** to get insurance for. You'll find something you like that you can afford. Go for what you can "live with", the nice motors will come in time.

And you are not broken hearted. It's a car. It's b******. YOu are a bit sad, but that's it.

[queenofmean]

Thank you Tony and Barmaid... I’d only have one if I won the lotto and that isn’t likely to happen.

I’ll stick with my wee toy one for now.

I hate to say it but I want a Diesel I can’t drive well in a petrol. I don’t know if it’s because it’s what I’m used to.

I know, but my car was a gift from my OH barmaid so it has a little sentimental value to me. But something will come along and steal my heartache soon enough.
