Slight Altercation

[L1OFF]

Had a bit of bad luck today, had to go the the shops (Volvo in for service) and while parking the A110 a Vx Corse decided to reverse into me.

That’s really annoying - hope you’re able to get it fixed soon.

Oh bugger!

We have to share the roads with them. I sold my Alpine last year and did think about getting an Emira but as only cars it was only a matter of time before some dimwit would have damaged it.

Sorry, must be gutting

Does make you think is it worth having a decent car these days what with the state of the roads and the muppets we share them with.

The trouble with that is you are committing yourself to a life of driving rank rusty old sheds.

I didn't. I got a brand new Dacia Bigster

Very liberating knowing that I'm not worried about knocks and I've already kerbed 2 of the alloys.

Far more liberating was taking ownership of a brand new Duster back in 2021 for only £10.5k

I lost twice that for owning a Disco 3 for 3.5 years from new.

Sold the Duster 3 years later for £9.3k.

In hindsight I should have just kept it as a second practical car and kept my A110.
