The two Foxes!Belonged to a friend of MrsDs who decided to give up driving.Told her I'd have it without question.Bit sad Amelia missed the Astra,the other week so gave her first dibs on it before throwing it to the wolves as it were.See what I did there!

Collection went well, got picked up from the station by @Dobloseven and we went to see the car. 
The lady selling it was lovely and we chatted for ages. 
Car is good, quite basic, perfect for what I need. 

Put some fuel in and forgot to take the obligatory photo. Hopped out of the car, took the picture and went to get back in and the car had decided to lock the drivers door. With the keys in the ignition.

Luckily ,(after standing panicking for a minute) I remembered I'd not locked the boot! Cue me clambering in through the back to get the door open!

 
 

Perfect, send an email to HR notifying them you've handed the car back, notify of its location and put the key in the post. 🤣🤣🤣

A Fennec Fox  

Very good x
 

Currently waiting for my lift to arrive. 
I think I'm in the right place. 🤔

And cheating doesn’t work either.

There should be a collection thread every Tuesday. It's my slowest day at work

Clues so far.
Newer than 2007, small but not a Fiat, 73bhp, bit of an animal.
Next clue: Very much an 'urban' vehicle.
Oh, and it is not in a for sale advert on here. Or anywhere else tbh. 
 

Next station Market Harborough...
16 mins to go!

Train WiFi is shocking and signal is intermittent. So updates may be sporadic. 
 
Destination: Leicester.
 
Train snacks acquired

Another clue: It's a bit of an animal apparently.

Next clue.
73bhp. 

I do need to change at some point as I'm heading to a 5 a side football match in East London at 6pm, and not sure I can make it home in time to change. 
I've brought my football kit, boots, gloves, shin pads etc with me.  

I want to see a picture of her lying on the floor, with a torch, looking for evidence of rust repair or evidence that it's not been through a chop shop and is in fact parts from 3 cars. 
This is Autoshite and I'm expecting a change of clothing on route into dungarees. 
 

A 2008 Ligier Nova?

Invacar - not if it was the last car on earth.
The rest are good calls, but none of the above. I'm being sensible for once 🤣

Luckily I have more than one account to draw from, and I also visited the cash point yesterday, so it's more than 2 cash machine withdrawals, but less than 3.
Also I once owned a 2007 Mini Cooper, so that should help with the age thing.
Not a Fiat. 
Clue 2. It is very small.

No guessing yet?
Clue 1.
It's the most modern car I've owned (company cars obviously excluded).
 
Ps. Typically, I haven't yet gotten to a cash machine, hopefully I can find one on the way...

On the train now. I faffed around too much so there wasn't time to get the bus to the station 🤦‍♀️
So one last adventure for Jade..

Parking at station way cheaper than getting a taxi. 

Oops. Apparently I have --- miles of fuel left, and no electric 😅
Well, that's tomorrow Amelia's problem 🤣

Important things first, outfit choice...

I have changed the boots to more sensible comfy ones though!

Off to collect my next car!
Breakfast was honey hoops and coffee (forgot to take a pic before I finished).

Poo count: None but should have gone, running out of time though! 🤦‍♀️
Updates to follow!

Needs more giffer trinkets.

Look at that switch panel.

Holey moley just noticed the price! It must be the sum total for all those trinkets. : )
Edit : The staring price is now £8k not £80K.

well, she's going to get a rather large surprise.  If she'd been reasonable and apologetic, I'd have offered to fit a second-hand bumper at cost.  Now, she's getting a quote from mercedes for a brand new bumper and their labour to fit.  And two other quotes from people I know who run bodyshops.  If she sees change from £1k for this she'll be lucky.  She won't like that, but tough shit.  If she ignores me, I'll just engage the police and claim direct from her insurer.  Utter cowbag.

I suppose you could have asked him if he'd applied for a disabled space marking from the council.  Strongly suspect that he hasn't...
