a final footnote

I passed my driving test when I was seventeen. Having lessons was just expected, but for various reasons, I hadn't driven since.

Almost two years ago, my sister bought an old banger of a car from a couple of her friends. She gave it to me for my Birthday, with the insurance paid up for a year.

Despite being a candidate for the scrap yard (or Pimp My Ride), I’ve only had to spend around GBP 300 in repairs, and I don’t think either of us would have predicted that it would still be on the road. It sometimes takes a little gentle persuasion to start, but it covered nearly 1000 miles in ten days, and got me back home safe and sound.

So Bibliogirl... thanks again ;-)
