New Car

[Kay]

Well with Christmas just around the corner I have the unenviable task of looking for another car :( . I had a wonderful weekend, last week, at Fran's :lol: but unfortunately during the early hours of Sunday morning a group of lads tried to steal my car. They damaged the door getting in and then while trying to start it they completely broke the steering column :mad: . Due to the cars age it is a write off. I now have to wait for the insurance company to pay out, wait for the cheque to clear and then go looking for another car :( . I have a hire car at the moment supplied by the insurance company but that has to be returned on Thursday. I just hope they get a move on because I desperately need transport because of the kids and where we live.
What makes it worse is the fact that there was a £15,000 Mercedes parked near my £400 L regd Cavalier. Just my luck :? .

It got broke into at Frans thats terrible,. I am under the understanding that Cavaliers, escorts are the easiest cars to break into. I know I had a MKII escort until it was stolen. :(

What terrible luck hope the check comes through quickly. Only thing is I hope you get the reliability - Best of luck what are you thinking of getting?

poor you Kay. not much fun having to shop for cars is it lol. hope you get something reliable.

Got my car just before christmas. I have got a Rover 620 GSDi. It is really nice with leather interior, electric everything, air conditioning and central locking and it is black. I adore black cars. Hopefully this will last me a bit longer than any other car I've had before as I don't have much luck with cars.

That sounds lovely Kay.....in fact very posh.

Believe me for me it is Kazz. It is really comfy and lovely to drive so I am really happy.

glad to hear you have wheels again Kay, sounds lovely!

Thanks Alex. I was without a car for 2 days between the hire car going back and getting my new one. I was totally lost without it. I needed to get into Llangefni and we only have 2 buses a day that go there from our village.

[alexgirl73]

and when you dont use a bus anymore I find it can be quite scary lol. I find myself wanting to shout at the bus driver to either hurry up or slow down!

[Kay]

I know what you mean. I felt sick on the way back it was horrid. Yet I used to go everywhere on a bus when I didn't drive and it never bothered me.
