We went forth today and bought a car, more or less. It had no spare tire, the passenger side window didn’t roll down, and although it was advertised as having a radio, it didn’t. We told them to fix those things and fill the tank and we’d buy it. The guy hedged about filling the tank (€20 worth, he said, but I’ll insist he agreed to fill it), but otherwise they were willing to do those things, and so sometime early next week we’ll have a car. Then maybe we’ll go have some Adventures! :)
miles to Dunharrow: 114
Having independent transportation is definitely an asset when one is seeking adventures! Congratulations!
Buy you a spare. No problem.
Fix the non-rolling-down window. No problem.
Install a radio. No problem.
Fill the gas tank. Priceless?
P.S. This from my three-year-old daughter who just peeked over my shoulder and saw your icon. “You found my girl. She’s my favorite.” Guess you make a great first impression. Come to think of it, one of your icons is how I first noticed you. Guess it’s some sort of genetic disorder.
Yay! Car!
Yay! Adventure!
next week we’ll have a car. Then maybe we’ll go have some Adventures! :)

Cheat!
What sort of vehicle? It doesn’t sound in too bad a state. Our first car was a free gift (family member emigrating) and was so crapped out that it was almost overpriced at that.
Oh there are so many places you can visit now. Enjoy.
Aww! Tell her she’s my favorite too. :)
Whu? Cheat? How? O.O
It’s a 1994 Mitsubishi Colt with its NCT good through Jan 2009. Lil’ two door hatchback. If it gets us through a couple years that’ll be grand, and if it gets us through longer it’ll be grand altogether. :)
You’re supposed to be walking to Dunharrow!
I am! I walked two miles that day! The fact that I discussed the car is COMPLETE COINCIDENCE! O.O!
Oh yeah?
The only reason you’re walking is you ran out of fuel and you’ve not found a Middle Earth filling station yet.
*grin*
Sound out!
