Tea? (Part 3)

[Saluki]

Morning all, not as busy as @Saluki 's here yet.. Everything's under consideration though, while I think about procrastinating for a while before I put that off for a bit.

When I've finished my brekky and cuppa I now have a carpet to clean as the Greyhound just threw up on it in 4 different places before I could get him out of the door. Happily I have a vax carpet cleaner thingy that I'd borrowed from a friend last week, in the hallway. I'll add carpet cleaning to the 'to do' list

Morning all, back to work today after a week off.

I might have to go in a bit, but I think I'll leave until nine at least.

Morning all.
Going to see a few cars later, in the meantime just chillin'...

Are you looking for anything nice?

An ambulance just pulled up outside, I've checked and I'm OK so he must be lost.. I'll just go and ask.

OK, he's looking for No. 3, everybody who looks lost in this close, where there are three No 1's, looks lost when they're looking for No.3

Just a small runabout....looking at Renault Clio/Citroen C3 sized cars.
Personally I wouldn't bother with a car now, but needs must!

Every satnav ever built, goes straight past our house and along to the next street.
Even the Police and Ambulance have trouble finding us

My friend Jan has a Cleo. She's had it 12 years or so now and it's still going strong. She does have a tame mechanic though but I don't think that it's reliability is soley down to him.

My experience of having Renault Lagunas as company cars might have put me off the brand unfortunately. I was doing upwards of 30,000 a year though. A tame mechanic is the least you'll need, IMHO.

Yeah, going to look at a Clio later.
My ex is a good mechanic (been re building cars since he was 12) so knows what to look for...so I'm dragging him along

Yeah, everyones experience of certain manufacturers is different.
Also looking at Peugeot but theres not a lot around the area with the specs I want.

I had a dog of a Renault Kangoo. It lasted 18 months from brand new and it spent at least 6 months in the repair shop, under warrantee. I had it on a short term business lease thing. At 18 months I handed the keys back and walked away. Biggest pile of poo ever.
