I imagined you would have a better budget, no little ones to run  ::)  ;D
Why do all new parents always assume they are worse off?

Surely if I could afford it, I'd find something better than an 18yr old, 231k Vauxhall.
Like a seventeen year old Focus perhaps :P
If anyone wants a 16 year old MX5... ::)

That's normally the ones who have haemorrhaged their reserves buying £1000 prams with alloy wheels and disk brakes, and replaced their whole fleet of cars because they don't have iso-fix mounts, I find. It's somewhere between sh1t and syphilis, apparently.  ;D

17yrs ago, I had said Focus when it was brand spankers.  It was shit then, and hasn't improved with age ;)

(actually, ours was a 51 plate, so about 15yrs ago)

Kevin Wood, with open thoughts like that, you'll get accused of not understanding due to not having any little darlings.... ;D

I'm very happy with my BMW 530d that I recently acquired.  :y 

It's big, roomy, very comfortable, and can shift as well for a big DERV drinker, especially when playing with the steptronic gearbox!  8)

Oh and you don't have to use the indicators either...  ;D

The Omega's future is uncertain.  :-X

Must be a different one than the one I rode in then. :-\

Yep, red and red, and still not much room. ::)
I am 6'4" tall, so room is essential.

Au contraire. I understand perfectly well, and hence "keep it in my trousers". ;)
