The car

[Skean Dhude]

My car is due for replacement. I'm thinking of getting a pickup.

The best part is that four years ago it failed it's MOT and the garage told me it was now fixed but when it failed it would be irreparable so as it was worth about £500 I said I would drive it until it broke and then replace it. Every year it gets through the MOT Tax and my mechanic pal says maybe this year. Although I suspect that it won't break as we expect but will fail its MOT on some stupid rule because you can't get some parts now. My Van failed its MOT because the passenger door didn't open and the unit that we needed wasn't supplied by any of the car part firms. Found one on Amazon though from abroad. The biggest polluters are government and manufacturers rules. Making a perfectly good vehicle a write off because you can't get a common part. In this case they changed that unit every few years and each year had different parts, only slightly different but enough.
