when will i see you again

posted on 20th June 2006 by Laurence

Alas, a sad day for me as it’s probably the last time I see yet another one of my cars.

The first one was stolen by some young ne’er-do-wells and recovered days later looking like it had been eaten from the inside. Of course, I had to claim insurance and will be financially punished for doing so for the rest of my life. How dare I make a claim?! Poor insurance company…
Write off.

The second one I bought from what I thought was a family friend, only to find out that the front driver wheel was hanging on by a thread and couldn’t be fixed. I only found this out after firstly driving for quite a significant time on the motorway, and secondly after a costly day in the garage spending money on things which I later found out did not need replacing.
Write off.

The third one is currently sitting outside my house. At present, the rear wheel is bent inwards, the back is hanging off, none of the lights are working and...you get the idea. This is because a rather confused 85 year old lady mistook my car for the road and ploughed into the thing whilst i was innocently sitting at work.
Write off… surely.

Of course I will keep the millions of you who check this blog updated when I find out more. In the mean-time, thanks for your support, and don’t sell me a car you care about because it will probably just explode whilst sitting on my drive.
