New car!

[Haly]

I've just placed a deposit on my new car

It's a Ford Ka 1.3, S reg, 82k on the clock, full mot, electric windows, power steering, alloys, central locking, metallic paint and most excitingly for me air con

Cost me £1995 and by some miracle they took my old car for £150.

It was a bit of an impromptu purchase.
For the last few weeks my clio's been making increasingly awful rattling noises, and since the week of the Cottage Meet has started leaking oil, not a huge amount initially but it's been getting worse. Took it to a garage today for a look at it and they said it was coming from the head gasket and basically although fine now, it could go any time.
Combined with the fact I need a reliable car for my new job starting in 2 weeks (it involves 300 miles a week of driving), the MOT being due next week and the fact I really hated how stiff the steering was (Admittedly the least important issue), it made sense to start looking.

And somehow, the first car I viewed and test drove was exactly what I wanted

I pick it up Monday
