Sadly, it seems the casing is broken and the device just [...]

No car today

Wednesday, April 2, 2008

Today, I was supposed to take delivery of my first car and was quite excited.
Yesterday afternoon, however, the dealer called me up with bad news. It arrived on the ferry from Germany into Kent somewhere, then got loaded onto a transporter and taken up to Grimsby. Grimsby! I live in London so this is not [...]
