h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I got a new car last week. It is a three years old Mitsubishi Space Star. This is like a very small "people carrier". It is the same shape as a people carrier but only takes 5 people. It is very wide and a complete contrast to my previous car which was probably the smallest 4-seater car in existence, the Subaru Vivio. The Vivio had a 658 cc engine. The new Space Star has a 1299 cc engine so it is nearly twice the size! I'm still getting used to parking it.

I finally found a mechanic to try and get my old car back on the road...the improbably named Mr. Lovel-Butt.

If you can't get your old car to work, you might like to buy my old one off me for a mere pittance. I don't know how far it will go without a major overhaul, but it might be worth a try! I reckon the only one who will buy it from me is someone whose own car has just snuffed it.
