It is with great regret I announce the passing of the Baron's car.
Our Escort, circa 1991, has served us faithfully (barring the electrical systems, which have been a pain in the arse).
It has taken us to France. To the supermarket. To the North of the country. To the pub.
It has provided endless entertainment. The "when is the horn going to stop blaring?" competition was always a delight. The spontaneous horn sounding also had its moments - outside Holloway prison, stuck in traffic in a notorious gang zone, and behind a police car are just some of the precious memories we shall cherish.
It shall be missed. Not least because I must now share my car with a confirmed crap driver.
Farewell, Escort. May you rust in peace.
Time for car shopping? Or will public transit do for the time being?

Car shopping. The bus connections are dire, and there is no train station near the Baron's place of work.

We also had a Ford Escort, circa 1991. When we married in 1992, Dear Husband went car shopping just before the wedding and found a simple, little Escort, brand new, but bare.
The dealer installed air conditioning, and we later installed a radio.
It had just under 200,000 miles on it when we sold it. It was a dependable car.

Bye-bye, dear car. And good luck surviving driving the Baron around.

I'm in London this week, so must take the train. He will be driving me round (the bend, most likely).
