Fucking Low Lifes!

First off sorry for the language, in the nigh on 3 years that I’ve been running this blog I have never used such language but what has happened got to me so much that I think it warrants it.

This morning I came out to my car to find that some scum bag had reversed into it damaging the front bumper.
The damage is not serious but it has removed the paint down to the plastic which will require a re-spray, but it is the principle of the event. I park my bug outside the house which is not a public through road, just access to the church. There is fee parking outside the houses in the row and then limited parking along the church. The bug is parked at the end of the free parking, next to the church entrance, but it looks like some one has tried to squeeze in but not done a good job. But what really sickens me is that they could not be fucking bothered to leave a note or report it! Christ sake you have reversed into my car, hit it and carried on reversing, get a fecking grip, learn to drive and admit your faults!
Low life scum bag!

All bugged out

What have I gone and done?
I’ve made the sacrifice to end all sacrifices, I’ve agreed with Lucy to sell my Audi so that we can get a car she can learn to drive in!
Don’t get me wrong my Audi is nothing special, by modern standards anyway, but to me it is a lovely V6 engine that just purrs along. The problem is that I do not do enough miles to really justify having a car let alone that car but it was my little piece of motorhead.
So when Lucy said she wanted to learn to drive we thought about it and the insurance company were not too happy about insuring her so it had to be a smaller car. Which unfortunately meant that something had to give, after a few days sitting there I decided it was me that had to give. I’ve let Lucy do all the looking and choosing and this evening we put the deposit down on a VW Beetle.
Have to admit that on the looks alone Lucy has made a good choice, not sure about anything else, I’m not really mechcanically minded but I checked and it had 4 wheels, one steering wheel and some seats. Good enough for me.
Of course I will miss the luxury and power of my Audi and yes it was not the best to look at but it will be nice to be driven around for once!
