Arriving in style (for a while)

by trintrin1x @ 2008-05-15 - 10:28:01

So i phoned my insurance yesterday and they sorted out getting me a hire car while mines goes in to get repaired, they gave me a Brand New Corsa to drive and the kids were like ohhhhhhhhhhhh this is lovely, can we keep it? :))   They dropped it of about 1.30 yesterday and i thought that was quick and the man from the repair centre came this morning just after 9 to pick mines up, he told me to phone on Tuesday to see how they were getting on.
Just got used to driving this thing, it seems so big compaired to mine, i feel like i'm driving a tank or something, it has only done 8000 miles, im 'finding it funny getting used to the power steering i keep over compansating cause i used to do that with mine, it also has bucket seats which i find akward getting out of the car with, maybe it's because it is higher up than mine.
I feel that i have to depress the accelarator really hard to get it to move and the clutch is quite high, my leg was in agony yesterday and my left bum cheek :))  I went out last night and it was just starting to get dark but i couldn't figure out how to turn the lights on, i was only going to the shop so i wouldn't take long and when i got back i eventualy figured out how to turn them on :))
Must admit i'm not too enamered with it, don't get me wrong if they gave me it for nothing i would take it:)  They are giving me it for 3 weeks and its all lovely n clean n new inside just need to try n keep it like that, aw well we'll see how it goes   :) x

don't do what i did with a hire car once - trod in some dog crap, didn't realise until i dropped the car off that it was scraped on the carpet and the pedals - i just threw the keys at them and ran!

Hey how's your head? Sue him! Is realy easy, and no-win-no-fee is great! Tho they can sometimes take quite a chunk out of the final sum, it's better than nothing!
