National No Car Day

I am working down south again and this morning it has just taken me 55 minutes to drive 5 miles. My boss told me that I had just driven at the wrong time. In Scotland we can drive anywhere any time. Can't wait to get home.

My car problems have continued this week. When I picked up my hire car I had been given a 1.4l 207. I will be driving over 1500 miles this week and had requested a "large" car. If I was to keep the 207 I would have had to remove the front seat just like Officer Hightower in Police Academy.

National car hire stated that the car I had been allocated was an upgrade. I would hate to think what car I was going to get. They had no other cars they could offer me as they were "out" of cars. Ironically the day I hired the car was "National No Car Day" - quite appropriate.

Anyway I managed to get to Glasgow in the 207 before my company travel desk said if I drove to Edinburgh Airport they could swap the car for an Insignia.

At Edinburgh I got a 2.0l SRi Insignia (Happy Days)
