So yesterday I did a couple of completely non clio related things.
1st up, I got my 1st tattoo
No reason for me to tell you guys that at all, but there you go.
Secondly, I bought a new car (I actually did this before the tattoo)
I've bought a practical daily estate car, so I can hide the clio away in the garage for winter and use it more as a weekend/track toy.
A chap I know on the internet posted up his old daily for sale, a 320d E46 touring. I've always liked these just never been in a position to buy a second car. I hadnt really thought about a daily for a while, until this popped up.
Swung a few messages between us and bought this a couple of days later...
A SAAB 9-5 2.2 TID Vector
Because for somereason even at 30 with 10 years no claims, insurance on a 2.0 diesel BMW is extortionate (almost double the clio)
Some bits are broken, but it was £350 and 30 seconds from my work, which is currently where I've dumped it
They have cool lines, dont you think? These kinda old Saabs
And look at all this space for stuff and activities
Drivers window has fallen off the rails (along with me according to a few of my mates)
Hopefully this is literally a £2.50 fix, and its these little biggers that have broke...
Sat here thinking now, I shouldve linked my Nectar card to my ebay for these expensive purchases.
Key covers because, well...
It has MOT until the end of the month, but itll probably be put through one tomorrow at the garage over from my work to see whats what with it.
It doesnt like going into 2nd, hopefully a linkage issue and not a box issue (pray for me)
Best part about it, IT HAS CUP HOLDERS
Hopefully, this will bring a better quality of life for the clio. It also means it's not an issue if it throws a paddy on track and breaks things.
It'll stay insured and MOT'd over winter, so if I fancy a blast, its a quick £25 or whatever to tax it and I can use it.
May remove box and get it rebuilt over winter.
Really need to take a proper look at the sills and repair/treat the rust I found a bit back.
Hope you all like my new landyacht anyway
