Got a new motor?..

I found a suitable car in the end. Ironically the same model, only three years younger. Apart from a slightly noisy n/s rear wheel bearing, it’s quite a solid little car. It has already shown me that the last one was a death trap in the end. Glad to be shot of it now. It’s a horrible feeling being in between cars. I always feel trapped. My Lady and I always had such a mission when a car finally died. Most of them we ran into the ground, then scrapped them. Now there’s just my new car out there. No hint of My Lady having ever been here…

I’m all legal in the new car now. It’s nice to drive. I miss driving My Lady around, being told to go on the amber lights when I always stopped. Being told off for my lane discipline. Makes me smile as well as sad. We must have driven thousands of miles together over the 13+years we had. I remember well My Lady’s first learner car. She nicknamed it “Grim”. For good reason. An old Citroen AX in metallic maroon. Only it wasn’t… The previous owner had attempted to spray it black. With model paint it looked like. So many adventures…

So many… …
