Well, as could probably be predicted from the history of costly issues with my car, once again on a trip down south I have to spend money to keep it going.
Previously one at a time over the last load of trips down south I've had to replace the battery, starter motor, front brakes and now a puncture, all pretty standard and not major items, but they seem to come at the worst time money wise. One day I'll manage a trip down south without having to fix my car in some way or other.
