They say you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth but...


Mrs 944's mother passed away a couple of weeks ago and we stand to inherit a 2010 (I think) Citroen Berlingo Multispace.  This car has some sentimental value to her Grandmother who is still with us, so I have been banned from immediately selling it and buying literally anything else, or setting fire to it.

I wonder what the minimum socially acceptable time is before we can sell it on

You get a fair amount of 'stuff' in one of those, Jimmy. Use it as a van for trips to the tip, etc.

I think that will be the top and bottom of it Ste, I was surprised and disappointed by how little stuff went in the terracan on its last tip run, mainly due to the 1990's folding seat design meaning they don't fold down into the foot wells. Silver linings and all that 

We'll probably have to hang on to it a while anyway to try and get the smell of stale fags out of it. Mrs 944 senior was a solid 40-a-day type of lady. Bits of the headlining actually have a nicotine yellow hue to them

You'll probably get a bag of marbles and a packet of cheese'n'onion for it when you do get shot, then.

Ten minutes.

You'd love it M'lud, its an auto and sports 1600cc of diesel goodness under the bonnet!


I've not driven her yet, but I can only imagine the performance is blistering.

......in common with the paint and 'froggie' chrome.

You may grow to like it,  we had one as a workshop van,  got the life thrashed out of it on a daily basis and lasted for 150k,  So you might have it a while.

No such thing.

Much like a unicorn or winged flying horse.

Staple workhorse in Spain. Replaced the C15.

Performance wont be much of an issue anywhere in England given the levels of traffic , road works, smart roads.

1600 auto diesel. Perfect. Hopefully it has cruise control

[chrisio]

Awesome little vans.  I have one with 210k miles on it and it is brilliant.

Take the backseats out and you have a full van that you can load to the top and take to the tip and you won't get any grief from the tip monkeys because its classed as a car - try that with an actual van and round here you get turned away.

Mine is the 1600 diesel manual 2009 and its solid,  Other than a couple of top mounts and new horn its never gone wrong.

Cheers
