Always a bad word

Two words were evil to me...TRAFFIC WARDENS !

..but not anymore (for now anyway). My change of heart? Last sunday evening, while driving home from my mothers, I was annoyed to learn that I had a puncture. I kept my cool though because unlike some women, I know how to change a car tyre. My dad tought me when I was younger. Anywho...I got the stuff I needed out of the boot/trunk and then I was smacked in the face with a slipper. Kind of. I noticed that I didnt have a wrench to help get the bolts/nuts off. My smiles soon faded. After a few phonecalls someone came to help me but it turned out their wrench was too big. To cut the story a little...I had to leave my car overnight but it was parked in a permit zone. Now I'm starting to worry.

I called the police to ask for advice and was told I would have to call the council. 8:20am the next morning I was on the phone talking with the traffic warden department. They very kindly told me that the car would be cool where it was parked but only for one day. I wouldn't get a single parking ticket and they held their word. When I finally got back to the car, there was no parking tickets at all. So for now I'm cool with traffic wardens. I shall say no more bad words about them (until a chance passes by of them issuing me with a ticket)

Oh. I got the tyre changed, btw. Everything is cool!

No music

I've been ranting most of the night in chat. Now I'll rant here!

On Thursday afternoon, after I had managed to drag my lazy ass out of bed, I got dressed and started to head out to my grans. When I went to unlock my car, I noticed the lock was bust and then I spotted that my car stereo was gone! I called the police and she talked me through telling her what was missing. Aside from the stereo, there were cd's missing. 3 in total. They left the cd's that didnt have cases. I'm bloody stupid for leaving them in the car and for not taking the stereo face out the night before. I normally do that but I was lazy on wed!

I've tried to contact my insurance company but they claim their 'database' is down. Has been since thursday. So I cant go ahead and fix my lock until I've spoken to them. I've had to borrow my mum's car so that I could come home today. I've been living with her for a few days. She lives in the country, so it doesnt really matter that my car wont lock. She's not happy about me taking her car and she'll flip if I cant get things sorted out soon. I just hope that I dont have to wait long. All the shit things that are going on just never seem to end!

1967 Shelby GT 500


I came home tonight and I was in for a surprise! Gone In Sixty Seconds was on TV. This movie, IMHO, is kick ass! Some might disagree but who cares? You have no taste!

Now, as you can see at the side, there is a pic of the most beautiful car...EVER!!!!

A 1967 Shelby Mustang GT 500. Eleanor, as she's named in the movie.

I swear..In my life time, I will own this car. One just like it shall be mine! ALL MINE. I would actually do anything to own this car and no, it's not sad. It would be a beautiful relationship. A never ending relationship. Me and the most beautiful car in the world and if anyone is thinking..."what the hell is this person talking about? Is this person male??" I'm female and yes, females can love cars, for I love this car!
