Not many people notice, but on my Goodwood Green Cortina, the bonnet is a slightly different colour to the rest of the car. It's something that I'd always noticed and something I'd planned to get resolved one day. So, on a bright and sunny morning I set out to go and see the paint man at East Hanningfield. This would also be the first trip out since (hopefully) curing my oil problem.
I had a good run over there and the car drove great and sounded great. The paint man then spoiled things somewhat by telling me that the bonnet on the car was pretty much scrap and full of filler and advised me to find a better one.
To make matters worse, I then looked under the bonnet and found that I hadn't cured my oil problem at all and that the oil was still coming out of the dipstick tube. 😞
So, I drove home somewhat deflated, parked the car up, covered it up so I couldn't see it and went indoors and sulked for the rest of the day.
It's annoying because I love this car, but I just don't think it likes me very much. That's tough though, because I'm not giving up with it, so it's just going to have to live with me!
