    Quick update

    Looks like i'm keeping my fez after all. Previously mentioned (extended) family member is being a little funny with the price for the pug. They are convinced that as the scrappage scheme gives you £2000 and has been extended, the car is worth "at least £1500 if not more" :eek: :doh:

    Glass's value it at £500, but even at that price it's not worth the punt so my fez stays :rotfl::rotfl:.

    cars and family are generally a waste of time, tell them that its only worth 2k to them if they trade it in, its not worth that to anyone else. Anyone else would have to keep it for a year to qualify for crappage

    I know. But you try telling them that! It's impossible as they are right :mad::rotfl::mad:

    I really need a "banging head against a wall" icon to convey my emotions. ;)

    Actually if it gets Smarts & Kias off the motorway maybe it’s not such a bad idea

    Nothing wrong with Kia's, I had a Ceed on a 3 day free road test, I was highly impressed with it.;)
