We have a jinxed car - it's a Focus Cmax and there is always something wrong with it - be it mechanical, electrical or jsut something annoying like some twat scratching the door, the typre pressure is a low just now - but i had a spell of getting a nail in the tyre every 2 weeks for about 3 months so had to get it repaired
thankfully nothing MAJOR - but it's always got some nuance that gets on my goat.
So, the future Mrs SB is getting a new car as a wedding present. Shhhhhhhhh! Now, I was unaware that i had to get the future Mrs SB a wedding present. I know people will want to get US something, but i thought the marriage itself would be enough - but NO, i've to get her a present too.
So, as we have a jinxed car and it irritates me so, and as we are planning for a houseful of sprogs once we are no longer living in sin I'm in the process of looking for a new car - it'll be a Toyota Verso.
I'm also going to get a personalised plate - CR55 KAS (Chris and Karen - kas is her nickname) is available for a couple of hundred. So if I can engineer getting the car delivered to nairn on the day of the wedding with the new plates on it, i think that'll tick the "wedding present" box.
thoughts?
