Beep Beep!
Barina!
Always nice to get escorted to somewhere nice in the evening. Even better when you’re not providing the escort. This time, it was indeed I, who was the escourted and Katie the escortee in her recently acquired 2001 model Barina.
I’m not going to say I feared for my life or anything, particularly not at the moment when she decided to show me the difference between her old non-power steering driving and the current power-steering with a rapid zig-zag demonstration.
Purchasing your own car has to be one of the coolest - and certainly one of the first (if not biggest) investments we make as we’re growing up. I’ll never forget the feeling I got when I ordered the MINI. And more so, the day I picked up Obsession from Klosters after almost 4 months of waiting.
It’s truly a fabulous experience.
Congrats Katie. Here’s to many years of happy motoring!

Way to go Katie-girl! Congrats on the new wheels! Don’t be like Scotty - feet of lead, head dead - drive careful! Scotty, keep an eye out, eh buddy? Never know when the new Road Warrior is out and about! Hehe!

Congrats Kate on the new car!
I have to admit I didn’t have a clue what a Barina was so I had to look it up! 
Happy Motoring!

Thanks guys. My little girl is doing good. She’s very lovely. I have called her Betty.
V, don’t worry, with a 1.4 litre engine I don’t think she’ll be too much of a worry, nor shall I be
Thanks Bec, I just quietly know nothing about cars so I am hearing you!!!
