February Stars

Happy February. Where has January gone?

Anyway, I finally have my new car! A nice Toyota Corolla T2. This transaction was not meant to go smoothly. I got the call on Wednesday to say the car is ready, so I take my paperwork down and get the ball rolling. But I realise that I have left the last MOT certificate in the flat. Oh good god. He lets me take the car away, and I say I will bring it back down that evening. Half way up the road I realise there is no tax disc. I spend about a half hour talking to the nice security guard Bob waiting to hear from the guy about whether I can just take my documents which were lying in his desk. I can, so I now have all the paperwork. Today, we go for a drive up Loch Lomond shores, but on the way back we hear a scraping noise! Oh no. It seems that a plastic cover under the engine bay wasnt screwed in and has come loose. I manage to wedge it in, and take it back. The mechanic sorts it out, and hopefully everything is sorted now. Its a nice ride. Solid permormer. The engine is a little rattly, but thats just the VVT-I. So Im looking forward to many miles of good motoring. Heres a pic!
