Or I could just take it to a main dealer and let a man in a pair of overalls sort it out whilst I am made a cup of coffee by an attractive wimmins receptionist…
Tough choice.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure lots of people get literally seconds of enjoyment ‘tinkering’ with their heaps and can talk for hours on the subject of ECG valve lids and the occasional technical issue as a worm drive misfires against a battering hatch and for whom a trip to Halfords to look at spanners is a fun day out…
I’m not one of those people. I want a vehicle that looks nice, is nice to drive and is easy for me to fill up the washer fluid / check the oil etc. (although I’d prefer it if the car told me it needed any fluids etc)
I’m more than happy to provide gainful employment for a man to clean it, service it and ensure it doesn’t break and if it does, for him to mend it…
I wouldn’t even mind if someone wanted to drive it for me…
God, I love capitalism.
