Oh great calamity! Oh woe is me! For Epping Town Council have decided not to renew their lease with the District Council on the plot of land behind the church in Epping.
So?
That very plot of land is where Epping Town Council has three rows of garages, one of which houses our Fiat, all of which will be demolished on, or shortly after, 1st April 2006. I'm sure the District Council will then sell the land to developers who will shoe-horn twenty three "luxury" homes on to the plot and sell them for £749,999 each.
All of which I couldn't care less about. I will be street parking our beloved Fiat 500, something about which I am not best pleased. And I suppose we will all be placed on the same council list for the remaining Epping garages, which is much longer than any normal man's arm and has just been about doubled in length by recent events. In other words, there is little chance of the council rehoming the tenants of the garages they are demolishing any time in the next five years!
I am now trying to procure a garage privately, but alas private garages to rent seem to be about as rare as Fiat 500 roof racks.
Ho hum.
Classic cars are painful for the wallet, but incredibly good for the soul. The pitfalls and pains, as well as the joys and exhilerations of running classic cars. Read about the ups and downs of running a Fiat 500 Berlina F (and probably something else soon enough, since the Lotus has parted).
