Out And About

Gosh. I am not worthy...... Well, OK, me and (that beautiful) Denyse woman went out and visited two "buy new cars from us" places. For a start every car I have ever been attached has been second (or third) hand before we bought it.... anyway at the Ford garage (all the sales staff were away at a meeting, leaving a service specialist to help us) but there was an awkward bit between the seats that meant I couldn't operate the seat belt, but at the other place first of all we tried an Astra which fitted me but we couldn't get the "cripples seat" into the boot. However the next one we looked at a Vauxhall Zafira it fitted. AND you could stand the 'chair up in the boot if you had loads of extras to put in. So we took it out with a salesman selling it, then he got in the back and let Denyse drive, it was very comfy for me and big and high up etc. Now we needed to ask Carolyn to send us some signatures etc so we wil go in in a fortnight and order it.

They had no electric cars but perhaps if I need another car after the contract for this runs out in 3 years..... so we ordered a 1.7 Diesel. Apparently they are a lot cleaner nowadays than they were 10 years ago, the "ecoFlex", so he did say "enviromentally friendly"est of our range
