Four more weeks and then I shall be retired!!
This means I shall lose my Company van.
Fortunately, Nephew happened to know of a car for sale.
It's around ten years old with a price tag of £200, so I thought..why not??
I hope to collect it next Saturday, I have found cheap insurance and the car is already taxed so I will be able to drive it straight away..
I have a bicycle for short trips but the car will be useful for longer journeys like the Lake District, Wales etc. Should get some nice photos in the Spring!!
Also, I will be able to visit my other Nephew in Devon at less than half the cost of a train journey!!
More photo opportunities!!
Now I have to get back to my whisky, a pleasant single malt from the Isle of Jura. 10yr old and extremely smooth with a warm afterglow!!
Cheers!
200p for a car? Seems cheap.

I wish I was retiring in 28 days. Heck, I wish I was retiring in 28 months. Lets be honest, I wish I was retiringin 28 years.

Navy CPO:
It's £200.00, which roughly equates to $260.00.
It has high mileage and the Book Price is £350.00

I'm glad I didn't retire last August, because now they have made me redundant, I get a good payoff.
