right so bye bye mango, its gone back to the guy i bought it off, and hes got major plans for it, so may post some updates on how its ending up
but here it wass:
Mango+Purple Westiee
now for the VTR
okay so today..
i cant drive as we all know lol, so picking up the car was a problem. Me and Alex got the train down to Kent, 4 different trains, 3 hours worth of travelling.
All was good, until the last train, got on the wrong one.. thankfully the guy drove to it and met us there.
Bought the car, said our goodbyes,
first problem.
no indicators as there was no hazard light switch,
text the guy, he had it in his pocket, great one lol
said dont worry, started on the way home
another problem
i said it was freezing, heating was on full but no heat...
as i said this, temperature light came on and needle was above the gauge.
cars been sat for over a year till recently, thermostat was stuck, had to drive 8 miles to get off the M2 as nowhere to pull over, car starts smoking.
text the guy i bought it off, he has a new thermostat for it, and as no hazard lights, he says he'll come bring switch and themorstat.
third problem
ring the AA
pull in at a petrol station with a breakdown truck we waited 40 mins for and the guys i bought the car off. they fix thermostat, just finishing, bam bolt snaps.
both saxos and the first truck:
boys working on the car:
me keeping warm, was in sandals and leggings!
i look a state, as id been at the side of the road in the frost for a long while now. i got free hot chocolate
that truck couldn't take lowered cars, so another hour wait for a flatbed truck to take us to a service station down the road as we were starting to get very cold.
then 2 hour wait for the final truck to take us the 2 and a half hours home to MK.
cars home now
so many things need sorting
but i think its bloody gorgeous still.
exactly what i wanted looks wise
dechaving is needed
