Mrs G has had a corsa and a new mini since I have known her. We sold her car and my defender to buy my FL1 commercial. Defenders are OK but I was using it too often on long journeys so wanted something a bit more comfortable...I still often regret that when off-roading the Ford ranger bouncy, wheel spinning heap of Censored that it is Laughing

One word - Family

Once went on holiday to South of France with the Cavalier - overheated in queue for boat and had to be towed on Embarassed and then on return to Cherbourg the exhaust fell off and i had to do a temporary mend with a can of sweetcorn and some tape - Happy Days Rolling Eyes
