The not-so-trusty-and-a-little-bit-rusty Vauxhall Cavalier that has carted us off to many a gig around the country finally packed it in and called it a day whilst we were out touring the US. I don't use the car much and was contemplating scrapping it as opposed to forking out for repairs that may may keep it going until its MOT is due in November. However this MOT has been promised to be a lots-of-welding costs one so financially I've been umming and aaahhing about it.
The deciding factor though was the Northern tour - the cost of the car we hired was recouped by the amount of petrol saved by having a car that had a smaller engine, was more fuel efficient and a better CD player over just a weekend.
So its goodbye to the Cavalier attitude from me.
