I seized opportunity and took the car for a run round the block this morning. Every one of these victories buys me a little more time.

I've been reading back through this thread, it's really tragic how my relationship with the neighbours deteriorated. Was it really only September 2019 that they gave me a bottle of [not very good] wine to apologise for the original cone transgression?

Only 16 months later I was riddled with paranoia because I'd got it into my head that they were deliberately provoking me with their behaviour so they could get me sectioned.

Luckily common sense prevailed and I looked up on the internet how difficult it actually was to get people sectioned. And now I'm quite better thanks.

Nice car you've got there, Guest. Mine only has a CD player which I don't use because it scratches them.

It's all style over substance, When that little display goes off it leaves a little fake dot in the middle like an old telly.

2016 Fiat 500.


Guesticles, yesterday

IT IS NOT A 2016 Fiat 500.


It's a 2015.

I was thinking of getting a Alfa Romeo Mito, which has the same GR8 engine, but a lower more butch sporty shell. But they stopped making them. Which means I have no desire to get another car. Even if I could afford one.


Look, it even has a picture of the car on the display!




And those fake CRT lines on the display

Insists on buying Italian...

You're more of a risk taker than I had you down for.

It's made in Poland.

What is the meaning of this remark? Italy, and everything that comes from it, is the greatest gift to the rest of the world that could ever be hoped for.

My parents kindly came round again and parked in my space while I took the car for a spin. There may be as few as 3 more of these occasions before I escape from here.

Someone has just parked too close to my car, but I don't care any more because I'm GOING.

After my cardboard boxes arrived, I saw there were two empty spaces behind mine, so I dared to take the car up and down the hill 3 times.

More time bought.

I had a spin round the block on Easter Sunday, and today I went round the block twice and up and down the hill twice each, turning round in the road that goes up to the council estate.

Please stand by for an important announcement about parking spaceless car management.

Please stand by.

I will be ABANDONING the parking space on Saturday, and moving my seat of residence to my parents' place.

I will only be coming back here during the daytime, to work and pack.

This order cannot be countermanded.

Unless the roof inspection tomorrow scares the buyer off.
