Whee! Vroom!! Etc!!! :-D
May. 27th, 2005 01:21 amYeah, the car is nice.
It's a bitch to start :-\ but once you get it going, it very definitely goes :)
Now it just needs a decent stereo (and possibly some new spark plugs), and all will be well with the world.
Had an amusing moment in a petrol station on the way home when I couldn't get it to start again... a bloke, obviously a mechanic of some kind, wandered over in oily overalls and said he knew what the problem was, he could sort it if I lifted the bonnet. I asked what it was, and he said the points were out.
I told him the car has no points. Then I told him it has no pistons either. That was when he looked really confused, poor bloke :)
Anyway, I'm seriously overdue for bed, haven't managed one early night this week, and the weekend isn't looking to be full of them either! More details on my car-buying excursion tomorrow. Just don't talk to me about petrol station opening hours in the sticks.
