I got a new car

I got a new car, Its ok, its a Mazda 3 and its a HPC Private lease with a good company, I got it yesterday and idk how its going to pan out,

i’m taking a big risk because I had to stop driving over a year ago but I think as this is a manual car it will be better.

atm, I got a Job as a school crossing patroller and so my pay plus my benefits brings me closer to the cap (the amount of benefits I can have before deductions) so using it for this seemed like the best option.

We have a modified Skoda Fabia. It goes from A to B just fine. Very nippy and sharp on the brakes. Great on petrol too.

Its just funny to think, it was sold to us for a monkey, by a 75 year old Priest :joy::joy::joy: it looks like something a boy-racer would have.

My truck was not available in manual, which I still think is silly. If anything should be manual, it should be a truck with a medium duty commercial class engine FFS.

over here in the uk, the worst thing for me atm is parking, they have double yellow no parking lines along every street and everywhere and parking is expensive, even as a volunteer for my charity I am expected to pay £14.80 for 3 hours maximum stay, it ridiculous :frowning:

I am still trying to figure out whether this was a good idea, the manual in theory should keep me more alert (in-theory) lol

@Banjo that sounds like a cool car, where the heck did you get a Monkey?
