Well today we bought a car! We had to open a british account to get some cash and then we went out to the local dealerships, Matt nicely dropped us off, and we shopped with the threat of a 5 mile hike home looming if we did not find anything we began our hunt.

At the little dealership there was one little red car for 1500 pounds so we took it for a drive on the crazy little roads around the area and it seemed in good shape.
