| I’ve been off all week … and what a week … We’ve been supposed to be getting the place ready for the arrival of ‘bump’ .. but well .. things have been getting out of hand. First the car needed servicing this week … so brought it along to Teelings in Howth – my Citroen dealer. The NCT pre-test showed that it needed a small (but moderately expensive) amount of work before it would pass … and there she sat, a beautiful 01 C5 sitting on the forecourt. Fairly basic spec, and just the right pricerange. Unfortunately – the finance company I have the current car-loan with don’t agree, and want me to come up with nearly Eur 4000 to make the change. So … toddled off to my friendly BOI manager this morning, who didn’t blink when I asked for a loan of nearly Eur17000. All I have to do now is await the funds’ arrival in my account … For those of you who don’t know, the C5 is the current top-end car from Citroen. It’s got the air-suspension that made Citroen famous, it’s also massive both inside and out. |
