Worst car is current one, cruddy Landrover that OH bought for work in 02..worst car ever ever ever.

I had a very old LR series III. I loved it, but the deisel was crippling...at one point I was doing serious miles, and when they are so slow and so expensive ...I had to let him go.

In fact...in danger of setting the Nissan sales man off, the best car I ever had was also the ugliest, and a Nissan.:D

My Bro as one, they are like banks. They love money being chucked at them.:D

Apart from the fact that it is totally hideous and a pain to park...that stupid wheel on the boot get's in the way, it breaks down every 2 months. The car repair budget is £2500 pa.
It was under a year old and the engine was completely replaced.


I have broken down blocking the Rotherhithe tunnel and everyone was shouting and honking me and it was too heavy for me to push out the way, outside the Blackwall tunnel, on the M25 in the rain, Brighton pier roundabout.....

Useless car.....bluddy pricey at the time too.

i dont mean to but in (re your family communications) but i the days of fat internet pipes you might want to look into some the new developments in video conferencing.

The last i saw they were pretty much plug and play and you could have a pretty hi def video chat on them.

Celica? Um, I bought one of those as a 50th present to myself. An import job. Permanent 4 wheel drive, twin entry ceramic turbo 4 wheel drive. Way to scary for me!!!!! Now I drive a Vauxhall Omega, bought when it was only a couple of years old very cheaply. No one wanted it so got it for trade.

Economical, big and to now really reliable. Keep threatening to change it but I really love it!

Thanks for that...we do need to sort something out. Considering he's a Prof of computer science (Emeritus now too), he's pretty rubbish at setting up and working out techy things, can't type either, so e-mail is too slow. He bought a fax and can't work out how to set it up.

I loved the six gears and the pull. In fact, we sold her as when we relocated as she just sat on the drive and never got used.
We couldn't afford to tax and insure a car that only went to Asda once a fortnight. Didn't need to be a 2 car family any longer.

The Landrover OH uses for transporting tools, wood etc (when it works) but we kept the wrong car.

I don't miss her as I don't miss the driving. I am very into trains at the moment.
