Yiss.

My mechanic is so good I changed cars for him (albeit when that one was written off). Definitely sticking with Volvos at least until they retire - hopefully won't be for a while!

They seem to be going around, hugs to you both 💕

Thanks!

Volvo XC70 wagon. :)

Hire car returned, new car purchased and rego transferred.
I'm beat! Car drives like a dream though.

The DT knows all: any recommendations for one of those GPS trackers you stick on your car? Bit overwhelmed by the choices and options.

Urrrgh. Why am I awake?

Cheers! Now I'm off the antibiotics and can drink. 🥂

Saw car, drove car, liked car. Will buy car Monday.
Got the quote for the insurance. Given the higher value of the car and I suspect the recent claim... ouch. 😬

Marge arrived here (SE) about the time you posted.

Makes a change from the hoons hooning along the Nepean.

Woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep (again) so did a dash to get something I needed at Bunnings and did a shop at Aldi to beat the OMG it's a public holiday must stock up for the apocolypse crowd. A few in doing likewise. My favourite Yiayia has cancelled today (hopefully only once) so unless they give me another job last minute, only one job with the old Greek guy. Fingers crossed they don't - still a bit tired from the jab and all the rest of it.

Organised my own eggses but can I have a bathtub sized latte plz chef

Hope it's just temporary, meanwhile look after yourself.

No idea! I just sighted it when I took the spare key down and it looked fine, then the insurance company assessors phoned and said 'nah, write-off'.

If you're making green tomato pickles I'll gladly take some off your hands ;)

Fifteen years to the day since I got her, so she's been a good solid workhorse. Not bad for $2500.

Got the word from the insurance company before - Felicia is a write-off.
Body looked fine so they must have fucked the engine 😭.
Anyway already talked to my mechanic (who also sells second hand cars, and actually sold me Felicia) and he has another car ready to go, so I'll be having a look tomorrow.
But my poor car...

Ta muchly.
