From old man to proper dad

October 31st, 2007 3 Comments »

We all went to Nottingham again today to pick up the new(ish) car. I’m now the proud owner of a Renault Scenic.

It’s quite nice to drive, but will take a bit of getting used to. It certainly lacks an edge of power but then again I have been used to a 2.0 V6 for the past two years. The driving position is quite high up and you get a good view, and although it is automatic I still attempted to change gears several times on the way home. We have all sorts of gadgets like auto headlights and auto wipers, plus a handy little drop-down mirror especially for keeping an eye on Poppy in the back. I’ve counted a total of 9 storage compartments so far.. and hidden at least one thing in each just to make sure they were used on principal.

In other news, Poppy is currently dressed up as a cat and handing out sweets to calling tricksters and advising them ‘meeeaaaoow’.

    Now all you need is that flat cap, pipe and some nice slippers! Do you have the obligatory pack of tissues on the back shelf yet?

    Nope, but I have sunblinds, folding airplane style trays, and more cup-holders than will ever be necessary.
