On Wednesday last, some jerk in a flat-bed truck with a load of scrap iron on board took a bend too fast. A big chunk of scrap flew off and removed the front end of the beamer. And the jerk didn’t even stop!
Fortunately there was a scrap yard about ¼ mile further on, so I wheeled it in and got £100 for it.
With a rare example of synchronicity, my wife, Kate, had just bought herself another car and was looking to sell her wee Peugeot. So I am a few quid lighter and the proud owner of same.
I have to say a BMW was never going to be my first choice but this was a real bargain and the car has been great. It hasn’t cost me a penny apart from a couple of tyres and an annual service. So I was sorry to see it go but onwards and upwards …
