So holidays are over and the new boring box drove to Ff, to the summer house, back to Ff, and back to Oslo and what happened?
Nothing that is what, it drove and it drove and it drove, it sipped a little diesel juice (amazingly little), changed gears by itself, controlled the speed of travel by itself (yes it has cruise control) swallowed all the luggage, didn't need topping up with oil or water and generally behaved itself.
So now i feel the need to take it apart, naturally.
There were a few things that the used car salesman promised to fix for us but when i went to pick it up weren't done, i didn't have time to faff about as we needed the car for holidays so i took it away, i'll fix the niggles myself. I have already started and had the trim off around the boot catch to fix the flappy thing that coveres the lock mechanism, yes modern cars have flappy things to cover up the bits nobody wants to set eyes upon because they are too ghastly to contemplate.
I didn't even take any pictures of the car while we were away it was that invisible. So i'll have to make up for that next time.
Nice motor Matt! - I only said to Dulcie the other week that if I could, I'd buy a VW Touran TDi because I really like them! Sensible wheels for frequent visits to B&Q or Brico Depot (whichever country I'm in)- I don't know what the Norwegian equivalent is, no doubt you do! Anyhows, congrats on a)Getting to 40! b)Making a son! c) Getting a sensible modern car! - Pete
