.... Muriel!!!
Unfortunately the replacement master cylinder only partially fixed our clutch problems and we have now worked out that there are bigger problems. Coupled with the necessary works needed for the upcoming MoT we have decided that the value of the car doesn't warrant the work and thus our lovely Astra estate will be shuffled off to the local scrap merchant (and even HE might not want it, it's THAT bad! lol) It did us proud, limping desperately through a very busy Wolverhampton city centre ring road after a home footie match this arvo.... it's final journey... and I am eternally grateful that we didn't have to call Mr RAC.
My lovely daughter saved the day and lent us £500, so we've come up trumps and bought a little Ford KA.... the registration ends "UOL" and that makes me think of the word Muriel.... hence the name!
So although our debt will be cleared on the 1st October, we now owe Sophie her money back.... but I can live with that. The relief of knowing I am mobile again far exceeds another month of debt....
