Those whose memories predate this blog will know of serenity my step daughter.
Her antics her partner the Great Intellectual Thinker kept the group amused for a good while.
Serenity has rolled out a good one this time though.
Cars have been an issue for her And of course having acquired a GIT replacement she needed something big enough to cart them all about. She settled on a Zafira which was offered to her at a knock down price and as an added bonus the engine had just been rebuilt. Now, people don't rebuild an engine then immediately decide to sell the care, well normal people don't anyway.
I was whiffing rodent big style and made a suggestion she let me stick my head under the bonnet before she did anything rash like part with money. No this was Serenity and soon she proudly turned up chez nous in a car that was making a slight clatter.
It was one of those annoying noises that you can't quite put your finger on the root of. I listened and listened, I could not quite work it out. Her garagiste could not quite work it out either till he took the lid off and a scene of carnage was revealed. This could still have been a cheap car had she done something sensible like buy a second hand engine.
Not our Serenity, at truly vast costs and against advice she had the engine rebuilt. This left her about as solvent as Greece and so full on austerity measures went in, Well no it was more like Greece that you might think. She didn't actually rein in expenditure but passed it on to the United Bank of Mum and Step Dad.
Of course with the car back on the road an admirable opportunity presented itself to lend the car to a friend who had a errand to run to Hull. An impressive time he must have put in too to have left here at 11 in the morning and be most of the way back by 10 pm.
10 pm being the time that something went mega bang inside the engine and decided to get out and walk.
The car was duly AA recovered and is awaiting it's fate outside Chez Serenity.
The lady in question then got on the phone, at least she had now seen a bit of sense and she had decided to get a second hand engine, trouble was she could not find one at a price she could afford. Of course, it took me a few moments to find several engines but of course then the penny dropped. They were at a price I could afford not free, the price she could afford.
Of course the first line of attack has to be the garage who charged her a ransom sum to rebuild the engine. I am more confident she can get through that than she used to be
Serenity has recently, alone and without a leader, taken on an access fight with the GIT where he was legally represented and she was not. By all accounts she played a blinder got the judge entirely on side and, without Serenityonics presented a logical and calm case.
She won the day.
Good on her
