Wow! That must be a very wealthy dealership, lol! :)

As dealers go they are minnows tbf they've got 2 sites. But they've won dealer of the year for Mazda 3 times so usually nice to deal with (even when telling you nope that's not a warranty job as it turns out!).

Would imagine the 3 white rotaries are for promotional use and they are storing the Vantage for a customer. Most of the stuff in the car vending machine is customer stock. When I picked mine up in 2014 got to see it come down to ground level..very James Bond.

My Punto is finally alive again after two week, with a new (used) ECU - but is still posing issues.
Considering if I should drive it to my place and remove the plates so I have plenty time to do trouble shooting, and then buy that Seicento that's for sale nearby, as a temporary runabout ?
 
£50 notes. Six of them.
Don't see them often, then they all come along at once.
Although impossible to spend, unless that's a Costa coffee? So it'll be off to the bank with them.
Seems a lot, but each one covers a 2-hour lesson.


Perhaps one of these 12v note checkers may come in handy?! Lol.

As long as they’re real (and I’m sure they are) a trip to the bank or post office should take care of them?

Seeing my friends' new Panda for the 1st time: I'm genuinely torn between the idea of getting 1 of those or trying to find a 3rd Punto for my next car when the time comes, lol!


Honestly every time I see Pop models around my city it reminds me of the fact it’s my next car!!! Lol

They’re just charming looking and there’s nothing else like em about!
 
My friends 1 is a 62-plate TwinAir Lounge: I haven't sat in it or been taken for a ride in it yet, but it's just got so much visual character! It's a great little thing! :) But, at the same time, I do love my old Grande Punto, and I hope I don't have to part with it for a few years yet, and part of me does kinda want to try and find a facelift version with similar spec to my Grande, lol!

To be honest part of the appeal to me is just how much of the new Panda is essentially the same as my current one! Though others say that’s a bad thing, I’ll happily take a 2018, shiny new 90% version of my current Panda! Lol
 
I'm exactly the same with the Punto. I really don't care that it's old: my Grande still meets my needs very nicely, it still has a few creature comforts, and it still looks fantastic, so a facelift version would be just as good for me.
 
Despite the rust (****ing shoot me..) this is still a much cooler car than my dad's 3 box 1.0 nova L in the 80s..

I'd have a have traded my family in for electric windows in the back..
