My car is back!

I have my car back! It turns out that the battery was virtually dead. I knew that - judging by the amount of times it breaks down! So, I paid for todays work and then went and bought a new tyre. When he told me the price of a new one I nearly fainted and so asked for options!! Handily enough this place had used tyres - you know the ones people remove to buy new ones with good tred!! And so for a third of the price I bought a used tyre - I LOVE this country! We all agreed that as I was selling the car this was the best option. I then went (with my friend to make sure I got the right price) to buy a new battery. So, it is all looking good again. Next week I will take it to another electric mechanic to get little bits fixed and then it is ready to sell - YAY!! I was ready to cry at the price I paid for everything today, in Honduran terms - which is the only way I think now - it is a lot. If I put it into £££ it was really quite cheap I guess...all that work, tyre, battery, parts etc for £78.
I am so excited about selling it and getting one that doesn't fall apart and my friends have offered to build a fence around my drive way so when I get a new car my dogs can't destroy it!! Can't be too bad.
