Angry The end!

Just got a message from, "She who must be obeyed" in Germany, that the drivers door is kaput following some type of incident in a farmers yard. I was stunned to read it was the other drivers fault!

The TUV is nearly due and the tyres also need replacing. Add to that list, the main cam belt service is nearly due, so alas it's the end of the road at 300K km.

We are both rather sad that our old, battered but beloved V40 1.9D will have to be put down, along with the rather old horse box.
It's been a great car and one of the very few I truly loved to drive. It stood up incredibly well to the most appaling abuse, but it has finally reached the end of the road.
