Despite all my efforts – two new (front) tires; new rear number plate bulbs; a wash; a hoover\/tidy, etc, throughout; checking bulbs, oil, fuel, tyre pressures, and so on – Flo\u2019 failed her MOT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently she needs new rear disc pads, and steering tracking rods. So I\u2019ve gone ahead getting all that done. What with the recent new clutch, and the renewal of my car insurance (now a combo\u2019, with Admiral for SD&P, and other folk for H&R), the new tyres, and suchlike, she\u2019s cost me \u00a32K in recent times!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And even your budget is as tight as mine? With surplus funds non-existent\u2026 that\u2019s tough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And of course, sadly, the nature of my current working\/earning scenario is that when I\u2019m without wheels, I lose earnings. So I\u2019m hit with a double fiscal whammy\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I type this I\u2019m<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waiting to hear how The Garage have got on with Flo\u2019. Will I have to cancel my 4-5:30 delivery shift? I expect I will. But I hope I won\u2019t. We shall see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I just called them (2:30pm), and got no answer. Hopefully \u2018cause they\u2019re so busy getting Flo\u2019 fixed!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
