From Datsun 120Y to Saga Aeroback

Today, 24th July 2007, Pa is no more driving the 'old junk' which has been replaced with a Proton Saga Aeroback.

Last night Pa went to see his mechanic at his home to check status of his car. Unfortunately, its still wasn't ready...some mix up with the engine mounting. Seems that the auto and manual mounting is non-interchangeable. So, the car has to spend another night with the foremen until the proper mounting is obtained and fixed.

Having driven the 120Y since Friday night, Pa thought he had enough of the car. Knowing the mechanic has another car, a Proton Saga Aeroback, Pa requested to swap with the 120Y. The excuse was that Pa had to see some officials from the Government department today, and it would not look good if Pa is seen driving the 120Y.

Fortunately, the mechanic agreed and Pa cam back in the Proton Aeroback...to Ma's delight. The car is now ready for action but Pa is not. Having so much activities today, he was too tired to send the Aeroback and collect his 'rejuvenated' car.

Hopefully, Pa would be able to collect his car tomorrow and that all is well.

The 'damage'?...just over 1K as predicted with a year 'gentleman' warranty by the mechanic.

Yabbadabadoo...we are getting our car back!
