Bloody F*ckin Poxy Car..Tales of an Onion..
Discussion
After much time and money spent trying to keep my Onion on the road, I'm afriad it's run it's course, yesterday I was cruising down the M11 minding my own business when some tart decided she would test my reactions and it seems, my brakes by pulling out in front of me and BRAKING 
, the sound of brakes on tight was followed closly by the sound of grinding metal, she tested my brakes beyond the limit and I had gone through the pad. Bitch.
So, when I got home, naturally I tried to fit a new set of pads and discs. But the Offside Caliper was seized and my blood was beginning to boil.
After half an hour on the phone to just about every fast fit and none fast garage in the A14 corridor between Cambridge and Huntingdon, I ended up whipping it into Rapid Fit centre.
Obviously I only wanted them to do the Caliper but while they were at it they may as well whip on a new set of discs and pads. For £238 F**k me.
Bloody car. So thats it, I'm through. It's going, I've had enough. I have seen a lovely silver Focus in EMG Ford in Cambridge which I am going to see them about next week. If I like what they say the Onion will go there and then. No buggering about, no if's or buts, I'll burn the
ing thing if I have to. 
F*****G Car.
And Relax.......

(My local Ford garage is doing 'Cost plus £1 deals' they are that desperate!
Call me stupid but what are 'Cost plus £1 deals' If its what i think whats the catch
No catch, they cant sell any so they need the cash flow. They're praying they'll make their money through finance and servicing.
