In january we took the painful (*sob*) decision to scrap Bob. Poor Bob was a reliable old motor until he went wrong and then that was it. After some radiator issues and a trip to Autobahn (note to anyone - DON'T take your car EVER to autobahn. They might fix the problem you went with but invariably something else will go wrong after - from our experience anyway)... we decided that no more money could be spent on Bob and it would be better for him to go off and live out his old age on a lovely farm in the country with plenty of space to run around (that's where all the old scrapped cars go, isn't it?). So a man from 'Bombs Away' came and picked him off (i admit i did nearly cry... because i'm a sentimental fool or because we lost $2000... who knows)... Anyways, out with the old, in with the new... (new to us anyway)... the popular Subaru Outback (i think i there were 4 on our block at last count) ... the car R has been dreaming about owning since he saw some hippies driving one in the Hay on Wye (but that's another story)... RIP Bob!
ahhh, poor bob. have you named the new car yet?!
