We finally got our new car last week. After waiting for months for my civil ID (you can only apply for a Kuwaiti driving licence with a civil ID) followed by two interesting (?) visits to the traffic department I eventually got my licence. We went down to see our friends at California Motors and bought this beast. For those of you who don't know its a 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT automatic. It's great! It is like mission control inside and has leather seats and plenty of room. It's not the most economical car (it's a 4.2 litre engine) but it's Kuwait where petrol is only marginally more expensive than water. We put 65 litres in the other day and it cost only 4 1/4 KD, about 9 pounds/11 euros! We can now get out and about (we've already been to Ikea).
Por fin tenemos un coche. Despues de esperar meses por el DNI de Kuwaiti para Mat (solo asi puedes conseguir el carnet de conducir) y dos "interesantes" visitas al departamento de trafico, por fin Mat consiguio el carnet. Fuimos a ver nuestro amigos de California Motors (un concesionario de coches cerca de nuestro piso) para comprar esta bestia. Es un 4x4 del 2003, un Chevrolet Trailblazer LT automatico. Esta fantastico! todo automatico, asientos de cuero! Aqúi la gasolina esta tirada: 65 litros por 11 euros.
