Thar do lad. Local and reasonably priced. You'll not miss it long ;)

You never fail us!  :y   ;D
Ad no longer visible, but I'm guessing some clapped out Merc that will struggle to outlast the Mundano?

;D
Tig has probably bought it.

It was a hi spec E320cdi estate.

I didn't see that one coming. ::) ::)

What are you hoping to replace the Titty X with, Tig?

......and how deep are your pockets?

Today I had to get the bus and a train....  :(

South Western Railways have now been nationalised, and the train was 10 minutes late.  To make sure it got to Waterloo on time they decided not to bother stopping at Andover, Woking and Clapham Junction, so everone who was getting off at those stops had to get off at Salisbury or Basingstoke and change trains.  ::)

My neighbour has a Ford Focus estate if you're sticking with Ford they're really quite spacious now, but I believe that they have these
"wet belts" which appear to be problematic.

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

I think that's the 'Eco Boost' engine. 1.1, 1.5 and 1.6 litre are the ones to avoid. If any of those are coupled to the Powershit (no, that's not a spelling mistake) auto gearbox, then you're potentially in a whole world of pain. ;D

Retrieved TPC from Gatwick Long stay. The ground all down the right side was covered in glass.

No damage or evidence and tampering on my car, so can only assume that it was less interesting than whatever was parked next to it :-\

Someone had a shitty end to their holiday ;(

There is no way that I would leave my car, no matter how plain and boring, in any long stay car park.
