I've got a daughter!!!!!!

would you ever go to the clattery land of diesel ownership.

[highlander]

Get yourself a D9 V6 estate, from 2000. Means you don't get the higher tax (introduced on cars built after March 2001, plus you don't get COM2000 woes), and you get a honking great V6 engine to put a grin on your face. Plus all the luxuries of an Executive trim car.

[FarmerPug]

that sounds like a nicer choice than a diseasel, v6s would take an lpg kit well, so you could get all the benefits of a v6, plus the fuel economy of a derv without its noise.

Mine is £175 tax, 40 mpg+, but the look on other drivers faces is absolutely priceless.

I need to save some pennies first, I doubt the tubby is worth much at all now. Still I have a running car and that's the most important thing!

[FarmerPug]

a running car is half the battle.

Congratulations to You and Mrs Teamy on the birth of Isabella, hope you are all doing fine

[Busman]

Many, many congrats to you and Mrs. Teamy.
Now, about that estate......

[FarmerPug]

i like the way your thinking of an estate and not going mad and thinking you need one of these:

they are a bit excessive, the estate is the sensible persons choice.

I hate the bloody things! Especially as a biker avoiding psycho Mum's in mpv's
Anyway there is no way I would stray away from the 406, I love the car and know how to fix it

[FarmerPug]

your a wise man, being able to fix a car is a very good factor when owning it.

Well done teamy! Congratulations to you and the family!

But please, please, please stay away from those insane MPV's/Chelsea tractors..........

[FarmerPug]

a chelsea tractor:

there is some jeeps immune from this improper use in urban areas, the small suzuki is generally avoided because of its ride quality, and the toyota hulux doesnt seem to get used inappropriately, and nor does the mighty defender. But the main problem with all the big jeeps is they really do get through fuel quicly, the petrol ones are not even worth looking at, and the diesels at the best of times get 30mpg.

[plod]

Well some people say the baby looks beautiful to be polite, but you have a real looker there teamy

Congrats to you and the good lady

[teamster1975]

Cheers dudes
Don't worry CJ, it'll be a cold day in hell before I buy an MPV.
