Looking Back. 2014.

Was just glancing through a few old entries of this blog. About a year ago, end of Nov / start of Dec 2013 was a key point. I had problems, but was determined to work through them. Most importantly I had decided NOT to try to make Amy my exclusive daily drive and that I would keep two cars. Becky the Citroen arrived around then. 107,000 miles on the clock! So that may have been a questionable choice but annual mileage was so low, it seemed like an OK gamble.

But since then, my working pattern has changed, whereas I was probably only doing 2000 miles a year TOTAL before (due to Train travel) this changed. Becky was called into play far more, she's now done approaching 5000 miles in the last year. Regular trips to Staines and back. She passed her MOT with only new front tyres needed. The only problem is the radiator fan does not work properly so you have to turn the heater on in traffic jams! Not so nice in the summer - but bearable!! So despite NEEDING a car more than before, it's all worked out nicely.

Amy has done about 1500 miles in that year period too and it's the opposite problem for her, trying to get her nicely warmed up is the challenge there!!

But either way, since that important decision last year, the fact that mechanicals all fine now and we've had a nice summer of trips and shows, it's all good.

For now......!!!
