Well Di finally "won". The Frontera is just too expensive to run and in truth it's not that fantastic on the motorway and it's not easy to park and its... You get the point. Enter the new car... Well what will it be??? After much thought we had to make a decision. Jason wants a Volvo (Good family car, reliable, solid built, not so common), Di wouldn;t be seen dead in one (Big and boxy). Eventually Jason Manages to convince Di that the v40 isn't bad and sets about finding a cheap 1.
Well today I've picked it up. It's a 1996 P Volvo V40 2.0. It's black and has 155k on the clock. The upside? £820. The downside? It was in Lowestoft. The drive there was long. Dad drove in the BMW, which is comfortable and fast, but still ahs to stop for traffic! The new car is gorgeous, it's clean, nice to drive and best of all has cruise control!
In truth it's very very nice. Not the most exciting, but it's cheaper to insure and currently tells me it's pulling 30mpg. Pretty boring I hear you scoff, but I am a family man now. also it's got a 2.0litre lump, so it's not slow!
Well I'm sure you'll hear mroe about it soon.
