I don't need a mail order bride, and I certainly will not be buying a volkswagen, lol!
Transferring £9,300 to the solicitor, and knowing I've still got to part with another £11,700: scary stuff!! [emoji33]
So having said all that where am I..well I'm looking at either a Mazda 3 MPS (my current car with a jalapeno under the bonnet very much the childish option) or a Volvo V40 T2..
I think the difference between those 2 probably says I really need to decide which direction I'm heading in before buying a new car!!
Volvo are nice but the interiors have a similar level of excitement to the usual bmw, merc VW group bunch.
I dunno how much you want to spend and nor do I know the finer points of the suspension set up, however as we have one, I could not recommend enough, the Mini Countryman (>2017 model) enough. loads of room for small people, push chairs, grandma and the dog, as well as good Iso fix points and plenty of spec to be had.
They do start at about £17k-ish
Regards the mini...well the same benefits would apply to a C3 Aircross or a Mazda CX-5 or a Qashqai..but I don't want to go that way just yet. That and I still do not get on with the MINI "design" language.
Dont know where the summer went though
There is a lot to be said for the little SUVs when it comes to family cars, you can load them up with a ton of stuff fit a family of big and small people.
there are now half a dozen of these in the carpark at work, all with the same numberplate except one letter at the end.
All totally boring like the one in the picture, except for one with orange wheels which looks a bit odd and all brand new. I think they must be pool cars for one of the departments as they are devoid of any personal items and seem to disappear during the day and all be back lined up at home time, but we never see anyone getting in or out of them and no one in our department knows anything about them.
Don't you dare, we had a glorious, lengthy summer! I for one am glad it's over though, can finally sleep without having a fan on!

Will be time for some off.season Cafe Meets though..
