    The new car is fabulous, Tixy - it's an automatic and I've always had manual cars before so this is something new. At first it was strange having my left foot doing nothing but now it's second nature. It's good when you are in a queue of traffic, not having to faff around with changing gears all the time, and it is so easy moving off on a hill start, no rolling back. It's going to cost me more to tax and my insurance has gone up, but in return I have a reliable well-maintained vehicle that will last for years. And so far it's not too bad on fuel consumption.

    If you are considering changing your car then I think it's worth doing so while you still have some part-ex value in the current one.

    Just what my brother was telling me! Think I'll have to have a review of finances and see what mine might be worth.

    I used to drive a friend's automatic sometimes and once you have the knack it almost feels more normal than manual.

    Don't forget to haggle - see if the dealer (if you go through a dealer) will chuck in road fund licence - even if there are just 3 or 4 months left on the existing disc it's worth it and saves them the hassle of getting a refund. And I suspect, if you have easy access to your funds, it would be better to try and do a deal towards the end of the month. That's what I did, and they were more amenable to a deal when it looked as if they could get it all done and dusted in that month's sales figures.

    A long time ago Pania wrote the message below to Newcomers or anyone who comes across a troll on the forum.


    Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

    What is a Troll?
    A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made. If you should get such a comment made on any thread you post, asking for help and advice, please realise this comment is not directed at you personally so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal because the majority of us really are a lovely bunch – ooops, modesty!

    What should I do if I get a comment made on my thread?
    Firstly do not respond to the comment as this is invariably what the troll wants. So to get rid of the offending post, at the bottom of the post towards the right hand side you’ll see a red "Warning" triangle within a blue “Report” icon, as shown below:

    report.gif

    Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the MSE team of the post, who will then review its content and deal with it as appropriate; sometimes even deleting the troll by making their status PPR’d (Posting Privileges Removed). Remember, this site is an asset to so many people, especially those that feels like their world is falling in around them. There is a wealth of knowledgeable people here all willing to help, whatever you do, do not let the comments of one silly individual deter you from availing yourself of the knowledge base that is on offer here.

    PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE FORUM

    It is testament to the work that Martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time, knowledge and experience freely to others; without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of their debt crisis

    PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT
    If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours :)
