    morning all (just!)

    *yawn*

    went to York for the weekend. cold, but had a nice time. woke up Sunday to find about 6 inches of snow everywhere! built 3 massive snowmen, then packed the car and set off for home. made it about 5 yards because the engine wouldn't start. flat battery? no. jump start? no. RAC ? yes. car totally fucking screwed ? yes. the nice RAC man said things involving words like cam belt, dingle, foodle, blah-blah and engine seized up. had to have car towed to garage in Leeds and borrow courtesy car to get home. found out yesterday that the engine is completely unsalvageable (more gibberish involving pistons, cylinders, mangled, mashed, crushed and flurble) so we have two options: (1) buy new engine, or (2) scrap car and buy new one. :( :( :o

    option (1) will cost about 2.5K !!!!! :shock:
    option (2) is more but the car hopefully won't be 10 years old and falling to bits...

    might have to bite the bullet and go for (2)... anyone won the lottery recently and have the odd few thousands of pounds just lying around...?

    feck, feck, feck, feck, feck.

    only positive thing is i've already got me PJ tickets, flights and places to stay in Dublin and Belfast already bought and paid for!!!

    right, i'm off for a swim, got to get in shape for June too!
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?

    Holy moly! Sounds like the repairs would cost more than the car itself, you could probably get a nice li'l motor for the £2500 it'd cost to repair the other one!

    indeed, we'd be driving around in a rattling pile of rust surrounding a 2.5K engine, just waiting for the next thing to go wrong... ;)

    methinks a 'new' car is the only sensible option...

    And to think that since Rob's stroke our car has been sitting in front of the house, only to switch it on and let it run for a bit at the week-end..... I WILL be taking driving lessons again soon.....

    jrd your car old enough to be covered by the car scrappage scheme??

    It's been extended until the end of March
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Oh we did that and haven't looked back! Traded in the horrid P reg (women, cover your eyes) Cunto for a shiny new Picanto called Percy :D

    I don't know how much we pay a month for it but I know it's not too expeno and we've basically got 0% finance (it works out to that with the scrappage) and we ended up with a 5 year warranty when they were only doing 3 at the time (Kia are doing 7 now! :o )

    I would highly recommend scrappage :mrgreen:

    unfortunately ours is (was?) a 2001 Focus and is therefore a year too young to qualify... :roll:

    I can't remember who it is now (maybe Toyota? jeez, don't get a Prius... :? ) but there is a manufacturer that's doing scrappage on 8 year old cars.

    I think it's Nissan. They give you £2000 off a new car.

    Hyundai and Kia are the same company and we haven't had a problem with our Percy. We also know a few people with Hyundai i10's and they're nice little cars :thumbup:

    Your Percy is only a few months old though, it'd wanna be problem free for the moment :lol:

    I did like the i10's when they came out first, but I took a coupe out for a test drive when I was getting rid of my Ibiza and I would've had more fun trying to drive a dishwasher! I'm a bit of a petrolhead though :shh:

    ahhhhh your comments make sense then :P

    We have a car as it gets us from A to B and we're not petrol heads at all. We love our little Perce... even if we do look like an old couple pottering along the pot-holed Coventry roads :lol:

    My ideal run-around would be a Chrysler PT Cruiser... that should tell you something about my taste in cars :oops:
