Car troubles

I got my car back yesterday evening. It had only taken a week to repair. The chap at Fuch’s took me into his office and gave me a bit of a lecture on car maintenance. Or the lack of it on my part. “I took the oil cap off and waited for the oil to come out. But nothing came out sir. When I looked for the engine, I couldn’t see it. Only sand. It took me four days to get everything working again, but now it is like a new car. Toyota make very strong cars, you are very lucky.” Indeed, it does feel like a new car. I have acceleration again and it is running like a dream. Even with a hefty tip and MVPI (like MOT) testing and certification, it only cost me SR1468 or about GB£200.
