[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Renault  Alpine V6 would make an appreciating classic.

Prices are still relatively low.

The deed is done and 'Charlie'  is on the drive.

I drove back from Sheffield and, I must say, it's quite a nippy little thing.

Yes...but did it give you the James May 'fizz' just behind your todger?

.....in other words would you like to mate with it.

I'm past mating with anything, let alone a tiny Frenchie called Charlie.

Better to drive than the lurid green Astra?

I can fully understand the cars attraction for Mrs Stemo, considering Stemo's history:

"In some versions it also adds removable seat covers with zippers,[5]"

With a daily commute and as a headteacher with school car park kudos to consider, it makes perfect sense to me that the Megan at 50,000 miles and 5 years old has been replaced. I hope it serves her as well as the Megan did with 5 years of trouble free motoring.

Tunnie sounds like an accountant, whereas to me money is a tool to live and enjoy life and one of our few personal freedoms left, is to spend it how we damned well like.

I can only aspire to a five year old car.

One day I too hope to own a 5 year old Megane. For now though it must remain a forlorn dream.

.....and a strict headmistress (in high heels and black fishnets) sounds far better than the 'politically correct' headteacher.

Yes, but the Megane would have to go. Maybe a Lotus Elan or an MGB?

At Tunnie's age I suppose we were all fixing cars and extracting as much value as we could from our transport - young families etc. But now at 64 I am with Stemo and having something new, reliable and no big bills or time off road (or if it is then courtesy car available). You just do not need the hassle. If you can afford it do it.

That range of car is fine for prospective pensioners - I wouldn't like to be maintaining Phaetons and Touaregs without some decent fund though.

Doubt that would be our car. It's the same setup as clit, note and juke, and I think they'll have sold a few more than 15000 of those.

Don't know about the Phaeton but my Touareg is pretty good for routine maintenance costs,although I'm sure big bills are very possible if something lets go

[pscocoa]

I think you do your own servicing though Henry??
