Cars

Filed under: Preparing to Go

Sadly our car’s injuries incurred on the way home from Orkney have proved terminal for the engine… So we’re having to replace the engine.  So our decision is to fix the old car and sell it to recoup the cost of repairs and other recent outlays.  Kristine’s dad has helped us find an engine at a good price and someone to fit it, also for a good price. We’d have had to sell the car eventually and try to time it with leaving the country which, in January, might have been stressful.  But as we were considering how to afford this, friends called us and said they’d like us to use their old car which they’re replacing this week. They also had thoughts on how the car could best be used once we leave for Austria, so we wouldn’t be left with a car to sell. So its sad to say goodbye to a faithful friend….  but we’re very grateful for the timely replacement.
