Free! Free! FREE!

Well, I am, anyway!

My car is on the road! Woohoo! Sweet, sweet independence!

It’s still blue, but that will change on the weekend. At this point, I don’t care that the paintwork is crap… I’m just glad it’s driveable.

You don’t want to know how much I paid the mechanic. Mind you, he’s an honest guy and doesn’t charge anywhere near as much as other places, and I’m safe in the knowledge that there’s absolutely nothing mechanically wrong with the car. It still hurt handing over the money though!

My personalised purple plates are on… I fought for an hour or so with my seat covers, and I got a dashmat, which promptly flew off at me when I reversed out the driveway. I guess I’ll need to stick it down with the provided velcro after all.

But – car! Mine! Independence! Wheels!

Pics soon!
