    Why not? Amount of miles you do, Prelude will do you no harm.

    big car to park (although my parking isn't too horrific), very expensive to insure and a 2 litre engine, overally will cost me more each month to run and with my narrow driveway, a bit more of a chance I'll end up with wall coloured paint on the corners of my bumper :rotfl:

    Not much different to the gold car really so it will just sit on my favourites until I come to my senses :rolleyes:

    Sort of, Im not sure entirely what will happen with that they are taking £29 a week but this won't pay it off by the end of the financial year. OH isn't going to get ANY job seekers either now as apparently we can live on £110 ish that I earn a week, to pay all bills (inc food). What I just don't get is that they think for 6 months that you can't live on so little so give you the £62 a week JSA then what changes...suddenly its ok?:confused:
