Motoring

Posted by: Matt In: Car

 MotoringThis morning I drove up to Colchester to where I bought my Hyundai Coupe from. It was due in for a service after owning it for a year, coinciding with the fact that Katie’s father was picking up his new car.

The visit was to also enquire as to a new car. After renewing my car tax which weighed in at a hefty £400 for the year, I was after a motor that would be a third of that cost and a lot more economical than my current vehicle.

The service took an hour and the car came out driving like a dream. I didn’t leave with the idea of getting a new one after my car was only worth half it’s initial value after just one year. I have the wedding and most probably a house purchase looming, so it’s time to knuckle down.

I’ll get it sorted, news is that my car would cost £900 to insure in two years after the last budget!

I just renewed my license plate and registration today. Unfortunately, I had to get an updated operator’s license as well. This ran me $112US, which was well more than the quoted price on the renewal notice. Oh well, I’ll survive.
