Why keep 2.2? Errr so I can get to work   ;)
Having established that the 3.2 only costs an extra 6ppm, and you can use the bike for half the days...
Keeping the shed makes no sense... practically or physically ???
He's attached to the old bus. As irrational as that is, I can relate to that

6p saving only after converting. 2.2 is currently around 12p mile cost, 3.2 on petrol is 23p ;)

Decision made. Estate joins my fleet as mum bus. 3.2 for sale :)

My plan was always to have 3.2 as mum-car, it's condition inside and out made it ideal.

However it quickly became apparent, we needed more space.

The Estate fills that void, it's had a lot done to it and should be good for a couple of years easy, just needs a fresh belt.

So family well catered for, lots of space with the Estate  :y - As you say doors work better, boot space is better than Zafira too. Damn site better on a 2 hour drive to Wales too!

I do understand why others see my beat up 2.2 shed as something to chuck, but 9 years ownership, nearly 100k it's done what ever I've asked for it. Still like driving it  :y

Will fix it's air-con and be happy with the fleet.  :)
