CarWimb: I *think* I might have mentioned a road accident I was recently involved in

[Monty92]

Honest question, do you actually need a car?

How far from the house to creche or whatever equivalent you use for the kid?

Yes, absolutely essential. I drive to work and also to do the drop off and pick ups at the childminder.

Also, myriad other reasons why having a car is critical to my quality of life.

a ****, old Volvo would suit you accident prone types

**** off! I've never has a crash in my own car that was my fault!

They tried to scrap the Jag!

I set them right and now they are paying me to fix the ****er.

In short, buy some duct tape innit

J, I say this with love.

Your Jag is old, ****, not fuel efficient, has high road tax, lacks all the bells and whistles that normal humans now take for granted with their cars and makes you look like an ageing lothario who's down on his luck.

Get rid.

Thanks, b. That's just the look I was after

It's basically like wearing a sign that says: "I have a dodgy prostate and suffer increasingly from erectile dysfunction, but I've still got it, girls!"

Balls is it, you've not see it, it's lovely.

It'll beat your Prostat any day of the week.

Oh, I say

[redgunamo]

that wrote off my car.

Anyway, I need a new ****ing car, don't I.

Any recommendations? I *would* consider an estate, but 1) it would reduce the chances of being able to park directly outside my flat, which, with two sprogs, would be a pain in the hole, 2) My missus cannot park for ****, even in an average sized car.

So, the criteria is:
1) 6k or under
2) boot space big enough for a double buggy AND a suitcase
3) That' s about it

In terms of usage, it will be mainly used for 45 mins suburban driving each day.

Hit me.

Range Rover or a bus pass, imo.
