New Car! Wedding Dress Deposit Paid! Adulthood Beckons!
Simon - I know you’re scared because I’m your friend and I’m getting married…. but think about me!
Shelley put down a deposit on her dress, so thats the two big things done - the venue and the dress, whilst the flowers and (we think) the cars are sorted. We’ve seen the rings we like, the cake we like, the suits we like - and our invitations are complete and (in some cases) on their way… We still have 11 and a half months left to navigate through any minefields as well. FTW!
Anyway, what with the house and marriage we thought we’d really embrace adulthood - we bought a Champagne coloured car! Oh but its a beauty. 140 horses, and potential 50mpg - brawny and efficient to!
General real world fuel economy appears to run at an average of over 40mpg according to most peoples onboard computers, alongside a top speed of 130mph (for a non tuned hatch!) and 140 horsepower… The 1.8 engine is something of a mini marvel, perhaps only bettered by the very latest BMW engines…
The only bad news is that my beloved Fiesta has been written off due to a run in with a 18 year old fresh driver who decided that 60 mph at stationary traffic was a great idea. In a Nissan Micra. Massive twat!
