Oh, are they allowed to salvage parts from cars in the scrappage deal? Actually, that makes me feel better. I'd be happy to think that bits of my Peugeot were living on in someone else's car. Bids for the leather seats, anyone?
Funny, I never gave the Peugeot a name, even though it's the best car I've ever had. My first Fiesta 1.1L was Miranda, after getting me from Hertfordshire to central Scotland in fine style one night ("She who is worthy to be admired"). Her successor, an XR2, seemed to be a boy, so was Ferdinand to match. I suppose the Peugeot could have been Ariel, carrying on the reference, but I only thought of that now this minute. Maybe the Golf should be Prospero, when he's delivered.
OK, belatedly, the Peugeot is Ariel.
I'll have to keep the Golf forever, because Caliban is about all that's left!
Rolfe.
