The fonz. It is a car.

 The fonz is a car acquired yesterday which was a Sunday. I told Lee that it was his mission to got to Bradford and "just buy something that goes". So he did. and very pleased at his own brilliance he is too.
 The Fonz comes complete with the usual lumps bumps and rust you would expect from a sixteen year old car from a dealership specialising in third hand cars and MOT failures.  It was cheap anyway and then Lee being LEE knocked them down on price again. The clutch slips and it "pulls to the right".....and due to this they were selling it as parts only....Lee bought the whole car knowing perfectly well he could fix it.
 The fact that Lee is a well qualified car mechanic has been forgotten in the mists of time and overlooked when wondering what the hell we are going to do now that A man with a van business is gone.


 The Fonz. This car named its self.
Lee went over to Bradford with his father. Father gave him a lift in his Scoda, though through sheer exasperation Lee drove there and Father followed the Fonz home. Lee had to stop to wait for him as he would only drive at 30 miles per hour and this took a lot longer and nearly caused a pile up.

" ah wouldnt buy it. its got leaves in't engine an no tax or insurance" said father "They don do tax an insurance!? Ah wouldn buy it"

"DAD! tek yer fingers out o the running engine the fan will tek yer hand off when it kicks in!!!!" yelled Lee "TEK YER HAND OFF THE FAN DAD!"

" it got a pipe missin there...look..."
"DAD!!!!! the fan will tek yer arm off...ger it out the road of the FAN!!!!"

and so on. What the dealer thought I can only guess at.

Lee did really well and spent two hours poking swinging on and driving The Fonz. The battery was dead so originally he had to be jump started.
The Fonz is a sixteen year old Renault Megane Scenic. He has working electric windows,,,and two sun roofs. A radio and CD player,,,part leather seats and a huge boot and back seat for Monza the big hairy dog.
The Fonz was not picked for make or colour simply that he runs, has MOT and Monza fits into the back. He cost £250.00. Which is £249.00 approx over budget. When Lee first turned up it was £390.00. So we have wheels.

It is now 6.23 am . I am just making tea. Then Monza and Lee will get woken up. We  all need a drive.
