That's better than I expected
14 October 2006
We've made it. More specifically, we've made it as far as Ripon, meaning there's still the not insignificant task of taking the soon to be newly acquired car home.Met off the bus by Mike, the current owner, we've been shown some true Yorkshire hospitality. Mike seems genuinely sad to be seeing his car go, and I'm (almost) feeling guilty about handing over just £51 for the V6 powered behemoth, but a deal's a deal.
Having now glanced around the car, I'm quite impressed. It's in far better condition than I would have expected, as long as you ignore the door that won't unlock, the bubbles under the paintwork, the water where the oil should be, the empty space where the water should be, and an on board computer that insists that all is working fine.
And I've got to drive this 250 miles home.
Not just yet, though. First we're heading inside for sandwiches and tea (I told you Mike was nice) before heading off to the Post Office to tax the car. Once that's done, it's a short drive to Harrogate where I'll be spending the night with Kimberley...
