Setting aside my bias for most things BMW, i was advised i would be loaned a Ford Capri for 48 hours by Enterprise as BMW no longer have loan cars.
I was quite excited until i laid eyes on the Ford Capri in the parking area. It's a travesty to call this ugly vehicle by an iconic name, when it is so far removed from its predecessor. Add to that a version of British Leylands Austin Allegro, Quadoptic steering wheel, and its a double disappointment.
I gather its range is just 300 miles. I was also obliged to cough up £16 to negate the £700 accident excess regardless of blame. So even if rear ended I'd have to pay £700 and fight my own corner to get it back.
Its parked outside my home where it will stay until my car is sorted, hopefully by tomorrow afternoon.
