Britanny Trip... Transportation issues...

I'm due to take the family to Brittany. We sail Sunday early and mid week my car went into the garage. Because it's a heap I asked the garage to give me a quote before working on it...

700 odd quid!!!

What's more, they said it would cost at least a grand to get through it's next MoT so just had to go.  As a result, I've had a stressful week fitting car hunting around work with the clock ticking towards departure! Finally got sorted:


PHEW!!!!!!

45mpg and roomy enough to change in in winter. £2k so not a bad deal I reckon. Very helpful trader too.

Onward....

PS Swell looks promising for the trip too.

Nice wheels (is that a Zafira)?
Have a nice trip to France (safe journey an' all that).

Aye it be a Zafira.

2 litre TDi, 73000 miles so a decent buy hopefully.

And the salesman managed to keep a straight face while he sold you this fine vechicle ?

They're the prices we pay down here. The price we pay for consistently perfect surf.

Hmmm... Rumblings from the right wheel area. Shock absorbers I'm wondering.
