The end of an era…
Well today I finally got the car I crashed back in September towed away to that great scrapyard in the sky.
It had been looking very sad and pathetic outside my house for the last 3 months…
Here it is when I brought it…
And here it is on the tow truck being taken away.
In a way I suppose I am glad to be rid of it – my neighbours have been giving me a hard time about it being there recently, but its sad because this was the first car I ever brought and I never really got to drive it!
My driving has gotten a lot better since then and I am taking my practical driving test on November 24th!
Meanwhile, I did manage to obtain a similar Punto for about £60 ($100) which I fixed up with parts from the original grey one. However, I still haven’t been able to get it to pass its MOT because of problems with the water pump!
Here is Punto #2 – aka “The Blue One”!
If only I could seal the dastardly water pump, then I would be able to get it back on the road!
