to my lovely old punto. it kind of seems like and end of era. i bought the car brand new in 1994 , full of excitement [yep kirsty, you weren't even old enough to drive, i know!!] with the start of a new job and a new post uni life in leeds. its moved around with me, carried me safely as i have driven half asleep, pregnant, through snow and torrential rain, and always navigated me safely. it has become more unreliable as i have got older, but still. 14 years of first car, i can’t help but be sad to see it go. i have told SB that steve is going to fix it in his garage and sell it to a learner, and thats what i am going to think too, as a bit too sentimentalised to think of crushers!!
so now i have steveclarkecars to thank for a beautiful shiny new-to-me yaris sitting outside, i am looking forward to driving it to work tomorrow. it’s diesel must put an alert on car! never had a diesel before!!
pics of old and new to follow!
PS, other things to happen today [whilst i was at work], uncle bob visited with c’s parents and they all went to the local raptor place. SB had an owl on her arm and i think it flew between her and Bob. SB also had gym, which she v much enjoyed.
