- Toyota RAV4 3dr , SLK55amg, ML320 (2 ) A210 , E320 ( all gone )
Having just been diagnosed ( after an ultrasound and CT scan ) with a large hernia on the side of my waist, it’s the size of my hand so not rocket science as it appeared magically overnight ( but no kidney stones as previously thought). This after
suddenly needing a pacemaker in January this year I am not enjoying approaching 75 early next year.
Now I am driving around in my wife’s old RAV4, having sold the SLK55 AMG last November because I thought I was not feeling up to it’s performance, actually it was heart block and the pacemaker sorted me out so am missing my car, have since putthe cash into refurbishment of our recently purchased house.
To make it worse my youngest daughter has just told me they have switched their ML320 for a 20 plate GLC400d and having seen the spec I am feeling somewhat dejected.
buying myself a toy now not an option as just found out the wait to see a surgeon on the Welsh NHS likely to be 6-12 months plus then on to another long waiting list for the operation to repair it. So have organised to pay privately for the consultation and likely to need to find 3k plus for the operation.
Rant over , I should be happy that my recent ailments can all be sorted mechanically and that in fact I could man up and tell my wife that the visit by the builder to install a new main bathroom and turn the ground floor of the house into open plan has been cancelled and a nice v8 C63 will be delivered next week . Am still plucking up the courage………
