How Much!! Are you living in the car theft capital of the world?

Yes, he is

I think thats AA's area actually

£270 fully comp with all the bells and whistles.

No bells and whistles with mine, just a free tax disc holder I think

£370 for me and that's with the present squeeze on there as a learner.  your should see the looks she get- she 4ft 12 on a good day learning in a meega....

Could'nt think of a better car to learn to drive in

True but she hasn't quite got the hang of controlling a barge in a car park yet.  Not doing the blood pressure any good.  

Still roll on when she passes her test - I can give her my 2.5 manual and treat myself to a 3.2 MV6......

Thats the benefits you see, why have 1 when you can have two, drive that she'll be OK driving any large barge cars......do u think she'll pass, she has'nt prnaged it yet has she

[jonathanh]

I see your point - two barges to spend vast amounts of money and time to keep on the road............

Not ready for the test yet but not got too far to go I think.

Having said that she did turn to me and say today that it wasn't as good as a Volvo.  Sent me into a bit of a sulk and made we wonder whether I should change her for another model (present squeeze that is not the meega).  

The other problem I have is that at 4ft 12 it is impossible for her to wash the car properly.  I guess one of those car wash mops on a long handle will do for christmas.....

You could always lower the supension...still be cheaper than a volvo...is this the first test?

[jonathanh]

lower the suspension?  I think I'd need to take the wheels off and then give her a set of steps.............

Yep first test and we have not found an instructor to knock  the rough edges off yet.  when we do I think it will be quite a difference pootling around in a 1litre corsa to the meega unless I can find and instrutor that has seen the light and doesn't mind the fuel bills.

If it makes you feel any better I think my wife is actually a wee bit smaller :-/
