I hate top gear. I'm annoyed that we even have to be buying a new car.
Heard from the car rental people who our current car is from, they called to say they have been informed our car has been written off, and so we have four working days from receiving payment for our write off to return their car. We've not had payment yet so that's good. My insurance company are meant to be passing me on to a car buying service first who would help find a new car. Don't think we're going to use them but as the write off money would go direct to them (if we used them) then that might delay sending out actual payment. Still, I have at least four working days from today which takes me up to Tuesday, even if they transferred my write off 850 to me right now.
If they spin it out to Monday somehow then we get into bank holiday territory. I can see me getting to mum and dad's in record time if I still have the hire car then.
I'm test driving a couple of cars after work today, and then we're going to look at more on Saturday too. We should have a new car by Sunday... We'll be a two car family for a few days at this rate, maybe I am top gear audience after all.
