Might do.

Mine will get us anywhere we want to go but we could not take Fred's mate.

We would very much like to take him on a pilgrimage to Newcastle and have wondered about breaking the journey at Kings Lynn but the car is not here yet.

So might you get to Norfolk this summer, Sharron?

Hope you will regale us with your adventures in the new horseless carriage.
Enjoy!

I am keeping my Smart, which is fine if it is just us going somewhere but the Clio was on it's way after some years and we have been pleased with mine. We need something to get the old firm up and running again, now we can all go out together, so we went for a four seater this time.

I've had two for two smart cars and loved them both, the second one we only sold last week, had it from new (58) less than 32 thousand miles and only sold it because we wanted a bigger car so we bought a skoda yeti :-D

good for you!


Smart cars are quite popular here ............ one of the co-op car companies (where you pay to borrow a car for a few hours or days) has Smarts as its main vehicle, and just a few larger vehicles.

Some people are aware of depreciation.

I only bought mine new because I had a £2000 discount .

To paraphrase - once the singer/composer has won some money on the horses/dogs, he'll buy a brand new car instead of a used one.

Enjoy your new car, even if it might be new-to-you. May you have many happy motoring miles together with Fred's Mate. :-)

Now the neighbours come from near and far
As we pull up in our brand new used car
Now mister the day my number comes in
I aint gonna ride in no used car again.

Why not get something similar from the same maker which will get you to the shops a but quicker eg C class Coupe? Fred and Co could have even more fun in the back.
