new car.

well the deed is done.......................... ............

i have bought mrs gwh a renault megane to do the school run,general running round town etc.this means i can now have....gulp......her 998cc
3 cylinder ......omg.....corsa !!

it finally had to happen as i worked this weekend,so seven days running to work and back(about 120-130 miles a day through back roads and country lanes) and yesterday i put ANOTHER tank of fuel in and that came in at ajust a little over £200 quids worth of fuel last week,just about £30 quid a day.so with the little corsa i will be getting at least 50 to the gallon and will be able to get to work and back on round about £10 quid
and will cut my fuel bill by about 2/3 rd's
this of course means that the new 3.0 litre/landcruiser/whichever collapses in price the greatest(and aint there prices a tumblin)
will be arriving at gwh towers sooner rather than later.
it also means the poomobile can now be retired from front line duties and used as it was intended,for recreation and so on,it also means i will be able to take the thing apart a bit more comprehensively without needing it back for work,but saving at least £125 quid a week on fuel is my main priority.

Everyone is freeing up funds at the moment, fuel prices and credit crunch are harsh realities we all need to face. Looks like you got sorted out Gra.

liquidating some assets alan !!

just cannot justify spending 200 quid a wek on fuel,i was happy around the 100 quid mark,but since this govt decided to REALLY take the pi55 it left me with no choice.

Enjoy the grin when you do fill up - damn is THAT it ?????

just employing irony trev.

mr doom and bleedin gloom breakdance.....its a 500 quid motor for fracks sake!!
i wanted something for mrs gwh to run around town in,and for a t reg motor ,one owner,68000,full renault sh i would think 500 quid was well spent.


some of us have also been buying and selling for years as well

My parents are on their second Scenic.

I don't mind this one, but I couldn't do long journeys in the old one, it seemed to have some plastic fumes that made me feel ill (I am not talking about the usual new car fumes)
