On Tuesday I took my car
for its annual MOT test. I had not been home long when the phone rang. It was
the garage and they bad news! The underside of the car had become very badly corroded
with two big holes; it’s in need of two new sills, three tyres and new brakes,
and they said that’s before they go much further! The result is I had to buy a
new car.
So after 15 years of faultless
service I have to say goodbye.
Nothing will replace my Impreza,
I don`t think even another one would. So I have gone for practicality for my
work. I don`t want to be driving around in a van, so I have got a Renault
Kangoo. It`s sort of a van with windows, it drives okay, but not like the Subaru.
So here are some pictures
of my experience.

No doubt I will grow to like it, but I just don`t like
change. I `ll go for a drive at the weekend and maybe take some more pics
Wouldn't the one you wanted have been awesome - probably not terribly practical though ... ;o)
ReplyDeleteThat Vintage hearse is at Whitby Goth Weekend every year, as well as some newer ones which belong to some of the Goth DJs.
DeleteI feel your pain, sir.
ReplyDeleteI'm about to say goodbye to the Subaru Legacy I have driven for almost 12 years because I'm crossing the ocean. I'm not sure what car I'm going to be driving next, but i'm sure it won't be as enjoyable.
That hearse is epic!
There really is something about Subaru’s
ReplyDeleteIt goes to show you if you take care of your car and buy the right one, it will last for years. I take mine for its check up every time it is due. The car is over 7 years old and still in good shape.
