Cars aren’t worth it…

Slightly annoyed at the moment, as I’ve said in a post before, I currently own a Ford Focus, which I thought would be a lot more reliable than my old car, a Fiat Punto.

Anyway, on Sunday I was driving home from dropping something off, and it was a little bit jumpy, but I put that down to me being in the wrong gear, carried on going, about 5 minutes later it cut out completely, managed to steer it off the main road. Tried starting it a few times, and nothing happened. Phoned the AA and got toed home as they couldn’t fix it at the side of the road. Then got toed to a garage in the morning.

Got a phone call today, its the diesel pump that has gone, and brand new one from Ford costs £900! Plus £300 labour. Really did feel like crying when they told me :( .

Nearly there!

No really reason for this post, just trying a new app that I just got, hopefully it will work.

Trainig is going pretty good, only got a few weeks left know, can not wait to go on my first duty, hopefully it will be as good as I hope it will be, little worried that I don’t know the area that I’ll be based at all, could be interesting, got myself a map though, so hopefully it will be ok.

Not long until the new F1 season either, really looking forward to it, Jenson and Hamilton in the same team should be great as well, will be happy if either of them win the champonship, although to be honest, would be happy if anyone but Massa and Alonso won.
