Usually I'd have avoided going anywhere, but the delivery order we had yesterday evening was missing about 30% of what we'd asked for, and I needed to get to a pharmacy anyway.
In fairness, things were busier than usual but nowhere near as bad as I've seen it. Imagine tomorrow will be utter carnage though. I will emphatically NOT be leaving the house tomorrow! Not voluntarily anyway...
Things in favour of this car today:
[] Tiny footprint. Even the smallest parking bays look huge.
[] Unreasonably tiny turning circle which makes getting into said spaces easy. Invacar actually loses points there as the steering lock actually isn't great.
[] Good sized boot for such a small car. Again big bonus over the Invacar which has to make do with a shelf behind the seat.
[] Excellent all round visibility.
[] Finger light driver controls.
[] Plastic body panels shrug off the usual car park dings from errant car doors or stray shopping trolleys with almost complete impunity.
[] It's noisy enough that there's at least a 50% lower chance of people just walking out in front of you than anything else I own.
Was far less stressful a trip out than I'd expected it to be. Aside from it taking me a trip to four pharmacies before I found anywhere that had my meds in stock anyway, that always gets the nerves going a bit!
Oh, also fixed this, which had been bugging my OCD something rotten.
I didn't realise the little fuel/mileage tracker gizmo was just sitting on a magnet, so nothing to stop me moving it to sit centrally in the car rather than randomly off towards the passenger side where it was before.
