<RANT>Watched my P.O.S. Megane get towed away this morning. Big smiles.  Grin Grin
It's been costing a fortune to keep running and for the last 2 years I've been going to get rid.
In August I was threatened with redundancy so it stayed.
In December when the threat was lifted I decided to get rid.
Three days later the gearbox stopped working. Could only put it into 5th.
When I was emptying all my stuff out of it the hatchback struts failed and the bl@@dy thing nearly took my head off.  Angry
And after it had sold but before being collected the remote door locking/immobiliser key fob stopped working so you couldn't even start it.  Luckily the buyer still wanted it.
Never been so happy to see the back of anything in my life.</RANT>

And breathe...

In fairness, you bought a Megane. What did you expect?  Wink

Can't argue with that.

Great holiday. Six full days of sunshine. Lots of snow, and on the 7th (transfer) day, it rained. What more could you ask for?  Oh - and no injuries.
Seeing 'Christine' go has just made my year.

The recovery lorry that turned up had come from Leicester.
He had turned right at Jct 29 instead of left and found himself heading for Mansfield.
When he stopped for directions his handbrake slipped and the truck rolled into a wall damaging his front wing.
If you ask me, 'Christine' didn't want to leave...

Makes me laugh, becuase no matter what you do, something stupid happens and you get hurt. Sorry pal, but those boot struts failing has just left me in stitches. Of course, it's French, what do you expect.
