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’ failed her MOT.
Apparently she needs new rear disc pads, and steering tracking rods. So I’ve gone ahead getting all that done. What with the recent new clutch, and the renewal of my car insurance (now a combo’, with Admiral for SD&P, and other folk for H&R), the new tyres, and suchlike, she’s cost me £2K in recent times!
And even your budget is as tight as mine? With surplus funds non-existent… that’s tough!
And of course, sadly, the nature of my current working/earning scenario is that when I’m without wheels, I lose earnings. So I’m hit with a double fiscal whammy…
As I type this I’m
Waiting to hear how The Garage have got on with Flo’. Will I have to cancel my 4-5:30 delivery shift? I expect I will. But I hope I won’t. We shall see.
I just called them (2:30pm), and got no answer. Hopefully ‘cause they’re so busy getting Flo’ fixed!?
