    Hasn't any one thought of exporting these cars f f s to poorer parts of the world. Talk about bull in a china shop. Is it me :confused:
    I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:

    A car thats only done 20k could have problems with not being used enough, nothing terminal but enough to need a few hundred spent on it maybe.

    /scrambles to look at the handwritten cards in Mr Patels window
    /spends longer than necessary pondering the ones offering discrete massages

    Well it's on until March 2010, from next month, so you may fall into the window. Depends really if you want to spend all that money buying a new car to get 2k of fthe RRP price, only to lose that 2k as soon as you pull out of the dealership.

    I've got one!

    Swap it for a decent car though :rotfl:
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Yes I want that. I want a brand new car that no one has soiled by dropping buns in the footwell, excreting their fluids over the seats, or thrashed like a ginger stepchild in second gear on the sliproad at Junction 11 onto the M25.

    I want a shiny new NISSAN QASHQAI with leather seats and climate control and quirky looks that are not commonly found pre-reg or with significant discounts up to 1 year old.

    Ask Brodders, he knows!
