The final few steps of our 5 mile Calverley circular walk, back to my little red car... This will not be my little red car for much longer as I am buying myself a new one - though the new one is also a very cheery red. I will be sad to say goodbye to my trusty friend. It was my mum's car until she died a few years ago and although it's now 15 years old it still has less than 50,000 miles on the clock. It has never given either of us a minute's trouble and, with that reliability in mind, I am buying another Toyota Yaris, but this time a Hybrid model. I only hope it proves to be an equally wise purchase and will last me a good many years.
That's my father's favourite colour for cars. The flowers are a lovely sight, and a reminder of how far behind our spring is.
ReplyDeleteIt has served you well!
ReplyDeleteNicely composed, jennyfreckles. I thought that this was your new car. Remarkable that it is a 15-year old car. Your mother and you have taken good care of it. And, selling one red car and getting a new red car? We amateur psychologists are having fun interpreting the appeal of bright red to you.
ReplyDeleteI am still in shock that the car was 15 years old and had under 50,000 miles. That is amazing for a car that old. I would have kept it, but I can understand you wanting a newer Toyota Yaris too. The new hybrids are so efficient and great for the environment that you should have another 15 years of joy.
