That consideration was mentioned to me recently. My reply was that Im actually planning on moving into two seater cars soon, as my kids are grown and gone, so they can now drive their own kids around when they have them. It will be far call to do with me.
Im not joking either.

Don't be so mean, grandad Albert.

Congratulations on No3wee-T Tunnie! 

In about 20 years time you'll be able to get a nice car.     

Thanks 

Funding for the better car can still be spent on me though, my shotgun license came through a few weeks ago. 

Will need to wait until the summer though before I can go clay shooting again.

A  fair bit of my mileage these days is taken up by being "great grandads taxi" their mother and her bloke don't have a car or licences.I love doing it as it means I get to spend more time with two of my great grandkids than I otherwise would do.

Bad luck to Mrs T on the hyperemesis, Ljay had that, and lived on pretty much just milk for the whole pregnancy!

My zafira did me well for over 100k  no regrets at all, but im less keen on the newer ones styling.

out of interest, esp given I've LED lights already, which did you buy?

...., I can get over 500 miles out of a tank.

My Merc will too .... 

Even I can get 500m for a tank.

Granted, a tank is £100 though

but I put LED bulbs in the projector headlights

Chavtastic!

Keep an old bulb in the car as a spare, as many of the shittier LEDs blow the drivers quite quickly, and the aftermarket "upgrade" ones don't get any cooling.

IME, they do flicker before they die, but YMMV.

I remember your views on Zafira as the “enough” car, fast enough, comfy enough, fuel etc. Do tend to agree 

I bought some off Amazon, ZoomSomething. I had to ensure they rotated to right position in the housing, they came with an adjuster so you can angle it as per original.

Been in mine for a few months now, need to fit them to the other one.

Output and and range far, far better than standard. Pure white as well, not chavvy blue.

470 miles to £60 of diesel, can’t grumble at that. Not coming from 270 for £65

Yes kept spares in the car 

As mentioned, white though so not chavvy blue.

Best of luck with the new family addition and Omega replacement Mr Tunnie 
I quite like the Zafiras ,very practical

Looks like a car that does what is says on the tin.

I would have suggested the magnificent Vauxhall Signum but I get the feeling it would fall on deaf ears........23MPG and £600 a year road tax.
