It went well, see the happy thread.

Well, yes. Although I'm too poor to enjoy burning fuel for high performance any more, I have to keep things economical to try to save money. In other good news, though, apparently the mobility people have increased the rebate they give for returning the car in good condition to £500. They aren't any faster at paying it, but it'll definitely be handy when it turns up.

When I said optimise, I meant 'most satisfactory' for me...

There is no problem which cannot be solved by increased firepower. In other news, I had no problem at all getting the new car, so that's good. It's all very shiny and has so many buttons... It's going to take ages to figure out how to optimise all the settings. Fun times.

I'm not 100% sure if they'll let me pick it up without her being there, since it's a mobility car in her name. Also, it specifically states in the paperwork that the named person must not be an inpatient of an NHS hospital when the car is collected. Don't ask me why, but that's what it says. I'm going to go and try anyway, we'll see what happens.

Wifey is back in hospital again. May not be able to pick up the new car tomorrow.

You know you want to buy it.

WTF?

Finally got a date to pick up the new car, on Monday. Over six months after ordering it. The mobility people put the price up in the meantime, which is a bit of an insult - but the dealer said they'd pay the difference, so that's pretty good. Looking forward to getting it.

Grim. Just mend it with a new one.

Hope he gets the help he needs. Sucks for you though. Sorry mate.

Wow, that's pretty poor. So no one has been doing that job for three months?

Well done, buddy.

Maybe they can take Umarex down with them? Then - if we're lucky - the business model of "buy up trademarks then sue the companies that actually make products to make them put our name on things" will go away for good.

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
