๐จ FINCH HQ TRANSPORT UPDATE ๐จ
Due to the HQ-Mobile aka Black Betty deciding that her alternator is apparently optional, HQ has been forced to deploy a temporary replacement car in order to reach important bird sitting jobs this weekend.
Before we continue, a huge thank you to A6 AUTOS LTD for bailing me out and loaning HQ a temporary replacement car at such short notice. We are very grateful, even if HQโs Dadther remains unconvinced. ๐คฃ
He has repeatedly referred to it as a โs**t boxโ and has muttered that it is currently safer walking than travelling in a car with the structural integrity of a Quality Street tin. ๐
To which Iโve politely informed him that he possesses a perfectly functional set of legs and is welcome to use them if he continues sassing both it and the woman driving it. Dadther has, somewhat mysteriously, chosen to continue travelling in The Menace. ๐
The Menace has many excellent features, including:
๐ Starts when asked.
๐ Costs less than an Audi to look at.
๐ Has survived entirely on prayers, cable ties, and a valid MOT for years.
๐ Is small enough to park in a shoebox.
๐ Has two giant arrows on the front so you know which way up the car goes when it inevitably flips over.
The Menace has been appointed Temporary Deputy Head of Emergency HQ Logistics until Black Betty completes her alternator repairs.
Current status:
๐ Red Menace โ Operational.
๐ Black Betty โ In the garage reflecting on her life choices.
๐ฆ HQ โ Angry that it is too warm for all-day zoomies and wondering how they will fit in the back of The Menace next week.
๐ฉ Me โ Running on chicken strips, curly fries, a maxed out credit card and sheer spite at this point.
Further updates will be provided as the situation develops. Please keep me in your thoughts during this difficult time. ๐คฃ๐
