Freedom on wheels

After my constant bad luck with cars; my twice failed attempt to buy a VW and flat tyres with both my hire cars, I have finally managed to secure and take possession of my own car...and all I can say is, <happy sigh> ahhh!!  

I am hoping my luck has changed, although they say bad things happen in three's.  I only went in last Saturday to have a proper look and make sure that yes this was the car I wanted, put a deposit down on Sunday and by Thursday, I was driving away with it.  Things in Doha can move quickly and boy am I glad that they did this time!!

Driving it is such a pleasure!  So quiet and spacious and bluetooth connectivity, I am loving!!  Sitting up high in the traffic knowing that you have all the safety around you in case of an accident is real peace of mind.  One has to be realistic here; traffic accidents are the number one cause of mortality in Doha, but that is not to scare or worry you!!  I am sure we will be fine!!

So here is a few snaps of my car before it left the showroom, all shiny and clean...and yep, by the time I got home, it was dusty!!


Getting the once over before handing over the keys

Clean, clean, clean

The car from the backside.  Yes I got black and yes it will get hot, but oh my, it looks so smart and sleek!!

Yep, its a Volvo!!

The first, and probably the last time the tyres and rim will ever be this shiny again


Zoe testing out the built in booster seats.  Two thumbs up for such a clever idea!!  But she will be sitting in her car seat as you can obviously see, she doesn't quite get the concept of how a seatbelt should be worn...hahaha!!
