Thought I'd better join up having been lurking for a short while.
I left a deposit (ewww!) on a 2.0HDi LX Family estate today. Will hopefully be picking it up next Thursday lunchtime.
I previously had a Toyota Hilux Surf 2.4 diesel but, as much fun as it was off roading, it had to go cos it was just guzzling too much fuel (even on veg oil it was costing a fortune to go far in it!). I've been pootling about in a Citroen Saxo 1.1 SXi for the last couple of months or so (bought it for the wife to learn to drive in and ended up using it more than the Surf cos it was cheaper to run). The only problem with that is that it's just soooo small we can't go anywhere as a family and take the dogs with us, etc, so a 406 estate seemed a logical choice.
I've been after one since I got rid of the Surf but have only just got my hands on enough money to buy a reasonable one. I even went to look at one earlier this week only to turn up at the garage to find the 406 I wanted to look at being loaded up on a trailer to be taken home by it's new owner.
Anyway, that's enough rambling from me for the time being. I hope to get to know a few of you folks better as I spend a bit more time around here being sociable!
Take it easy folks,
Rusty.
