We have our car

We have our car and we are thrilled with it. It is two weeks since we looked at it because of both us being busy and then the sellers being away. We found ourselves with an unusual day off yesterday as we both had no lunch deliveries. We contacted the owners of the car and they were okay with us going to collect it at half past one yesterday.

The lady that owned her was sad to see her go but also glad that we had contacted her to collect at short notice so that she didn’t have time to dwell on the car going. She had owned and looked after the car for ten years but felt that as she was no longer driving her regularly it was time to let her go.

We took my van so that my lovely husband could drive her home while I followed in my van. He was both excited and nervous of driving her for the first time on an hours journey home but it went perfectly.

Once home my husband took me for a spin in her and we filled her with petrol. We then parked her on the drive with my van behind and were pleased to find that both vehicles fitted with a good six inches to spare behind my van. It is unfortunate that we have to have the large bin on our drive too but we need it for our business.

Our, new to us, car

I photographed it at the owners property as there was more space than there would be on our drive.

And here she is on our drive

We are going to buy a waterproof, breathable, cover for her but it is forecast to be dry and sunny for the next week so we have time to sort that out.

We feel sure that we will have a lot of fun with this car. After twenty years of driving vans we now have a car for ourselves and for pleasure instead of mostly for work. We intend to drive her and enjoy her and look after her as best we can.
