    cheers folks, yeah it's not that big tbh. It's smaller inside than her Civic was. We got it more for the higher driving position that Jude missed and the gadgets.. It's also 2 wheel drive.

    yeah, it has only 200 miles on it now. Nice and leisurely at the mo, which is a good thing for Jude and thank fook she is liking driving it (because of her aversion to test drives..!)

    It is a very smooth drive, it's never gonna light your hair on fire, but does have plenty torque.

    That sounds just like our old primera and nissans in general. I don't know if they still produce these cars or if there's an alternative out there now. LOL that was the motor I was driving when I left a new mini way behind just because I could and coz I thought they were such pretentious ugly little brutes of things. O my, how times have changed.

    Dear Lord, If you wont make me skinny, please make my friends fat-very Fat.
