What is hacking you off today?

Decided to scrap my Fiesta. Had it for 9 years and its lived for 23. Other than a water pump and the usual rust issues its been a pretty good car. However, One brake hose going on me 2 weeks ago, and another going this week its time to send it to the scrap heap.

Bought for £700 with just 33k on the clock. I've added 113k to it and have probably only spent about £800 in repairs since owning, with £350 of that being the water pump and a new timing belt. Advantages of cheap motoring in action.

Hopefully scrap prices are high.

All the best RHB. Hands are buggers when they go wrong. My Dupuytren's is coming on nicely. I'm now on the lifetime of daily physio. They're delicate things hands. Historical note. Dupuytren is buried in Pere Lachaise cemetery. Not sure how near to Jim Morrison, Chopin or Oscar Wilde he is though. I'd post a picture of my post op hand with stitches but people might still be eating their breakfast.
Hope the op has been a success and the hand's back to normal soon.

Thanks buddy. Mrs RHB has kindly reminded me that it has definitely stopped any left handed arse scratching for the moment!
