cars bah humbug

we were a family of five with four cars :o The sporty MGF (summer use only), the 4x4 for going up to the chalet, and two volvos.

we are now a family of three (the older two children are at uni in the UK) with two cars. We have sold the volvos, sad to see the ultra powerful S80 go, but that's progress, and it was too expensive to keep. Now we have the 4x4 and the MGF. We are replacing the 4x4 with a Qashqai +2 at the end of the month (soon) and it would seem that the terrano knows what we are doing. It always had a few problems with the electric windows, one of the back ones never opened. Now the shocks have gone.....not too bad. But the small hole in the flexible hose connecting the exhaust to the engine just grew and grew and grew, so that now the car sounds like a B52 bomber. It is embarrassing to drive, and I am now at the point where I will just wait until the new car is ready. This means that the car we can use is the MGF, which is so much fun (now the battery has been replaced) and very pose worthy. :p

Wanted to write more but small child (16 now) is dragging me off to fitness dance!!
