Today I took the day off to go car-hunting. I only have until Thursday to drive the fab courtesy car.
Ideally I would like to get a VW Golf - I am a little fond of this GT they have lent me - but the prices are astronomical and I just can't do it at this moment in time.
After much scooting about looking at cars I went with Jamie and Jade to the Vauxhall Garage in Bexleyheath where I met and fell in love with a cute jade-green Astra Estate with 42000 miles on the clock and costing less than 4K.
Only a 1.6i so not as much oomph as the GT's 2.0 Turbo Diesel engine - but the Astra is a petrol engine and that makes a difference - its also lighter than the GT so again that should help.
Sorted paperwork - paid deposit - got credit for remaining.
Will look forward to having it on my driveway by Wednesday!
Hurrah!
Incidentally - the hire car people were supposed to write and say when they are picking the GT up - but no word so far!
