So much for our week-end away!! We set off yesterday and within half an hour the car started to lose power. We turned back, took it to the garage and they fixed the problem cost - £134 plus. Off we set again and stopped for something to eat on route. When we tried to re-start the car it refused. Waited around for ages hoping it was just the cold affecting it. No chance!! We did manage to get it going, eventually, but it meant yet another trip to the garage - £235 this time!! Needless to say we can no longer afford to go way so the whole week-end is a write-off. So no peace from me I'm afraid as I'm going to be at home now. I think it's about time we got rid of this darned car and traded it in for something more reliable don't you?
So sorry that you had to abandon your weekend get away plan That is a good choice get the old car traded in. Anyway don't forget have a great Birthday!!!!
Oh dear! I'm so sorry your weekend away was spoiled by your car Eileen. I hope it doesn't suck any more money out of your pockets. DO try to enjoy your birthday!
Awwww no, that is such a shame, Eileen. Darn machine. I hope you find a nice way to enjoy your birthday at home anyway....
Oh, ¤%&@£! Sorry. I got really annoyed for you. What a shame. Please try to enjoy your birthday anyway. I for one am glad I won't have to forego your company, even though I really wanted you to have a nice mini-holiday. *hugs*
AAWWW Sweetie!!! I am so sorry (((HUGS))) I would be beyond #@#$%^ but I have a short fuse to begin with of all the things to happen on your Birthday I too hope you found something to make your day enjoyable.. and I agree it's time for a new ride
Eileen what a bummer! That is terrible and to have that extra cost right here at the holidays! Hope you can celebrate your birthday in some nice and relaxing way!
AAGGHH!! Poor you two. I feel for you. Lots of money to mend the car - eeeek indeedy. What sort of car is it, apart from one with some new shiny bits in it! Hope your birthday was suitably relaxing. xxx
It's a Renault Kangoo 4x4 EJ. Although I have to admit I have another name for it at the moment. I couldn't possibly tell you what it is though as I'd set my keyboard alight and burn the computer screen.
What a disappointment! Just tell yourself it was raining there anyway so you'll go another weekend when the sun is shining. Now, you can get another car for your birthday and it will last a long time. You will think of something to do with this free weekend. dooley
Oh Eileen...I am VERY sorry to hear about that disappointment. It was just terrible...and all those costs. Darn it. I agree it does sound like that car needs replacing--this must not happen again.
I hate it when that happens...just be thankful it didn't stop along a busy highway or something.... I hope you had a nice Birthday anyway, belated birthday wishes...maybe you can take another weekend trip when you get the problem solved.
