Sell it, and don't buy French again ;)

Thats the one, and the Seals which aren't sealed.
Really don't want to buy French again after the clio but that being said it has only failed to start once in the 5 years I have had it and that was a worn out battery. I also really want a Picasso and that means buying French again unless someone can suggest an equal priced alternative? The Picasso I have been offered is £2,200. Want it for the boot size, high driving position and the large back seats for various kids in the family.

I always felt so unsafe in my friends Picasso, it felt i was sitting on a bar stool.

N reg Skoda Felicia Bohemia 1.3 Estate... bought it at 5 years old, 5000 miles on the clock.

Now a staggering 35,000 miles on the clock after (I think) 15 years.

Well I'm not but they let gays in these days. They also let in women, blacks and Muslims which upsets the daily mail no end.

Anyway for what I drive, 8 miles or so to/from work when not cycling and occasional runs to the other side of the city it does me fine. £35 a year road tax, cheap insurance and very economical.

Proper Car:

92 Lotus Elan Turbo: Rebuilt from chassis up from two written off motors 5 years ago. Multiple updates and upgrades to keep her quicker than the hot hatch brigade. Best 0-60 of 5.8sec which is near impossible to beat in another FWD car and runs out of gears at 150mph. Once she gets traction she can drag most stock Scoobies and Evo's whilst being bloody good in the corners (Best handling FWD car of her generation)

MPG is 30 with a heavy foot and 40 on the motorway. Its much more comfortable than modern Lotus and has a decent boot for a sports car. Build quality is suspect but that can be forgiven as shes hand built and such bloody good fun.

Only downside was that my first one tried to kill me!! Hence the hoops in the last picture.

Sensible car is a boring 2000 Renault Laguna.

I can drive all types of forklifts from stand ons, counter-balances, reach trucks, side loader, right up to container lifters.

But I can't drive a car. :no: :cry:
