Alas, poor Raj, we knew ye

So, just taken Raj to the garaj for his MOT - he failed miserably, which is about what I was expecting.  The man at the garaj said that it's not economical to fix him, and advised me that if I was planning to replace him I should do it quickly, as there's a lot of rust around where what holds the car up is.  (He used a lot of long and fancy words like "near side" and "suspension" but I got the gist.)

I am planning to pop over to have a look at this car, which is a slightly more modern Accord and apparently Must Be Seen!!.  Well when they put it like that, how can one refuse?

was it the garage just down from your house? James dislikes them as they condemed several of his cars. Saw a recommendation that people use council MOT garages, as they have to open to the public but do not offer repairs so have no reason to find dodgy faults. That said if it's a write off then they're probably not on the make.

It was that one, Motor Corner. They seemed nice enough, though I do tend to think that about everyone. ;)
