Possession Update

[athersgeo]

Good news: Though I couldn't finish the drive home because the stearing has tanked completely, the mechanic says it's an easy (and hence cheap!) to fix problem many older model fiestas have.
Bad news: The noises are probably related to a buggered catalytic converter. Hellllooooooo new exhaust. (Which, I have to say, is what I've been saying the problem was since it started making noises. *sigh* I know busticated exhausts when I hear them.)
