    Congratulations on your new addition, will she have a name? :D
    MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁
  • Hiya, I understand about the car completely - this is a journey we're choosing to take and it's important to live your life at the same time.

    Have loads of fun with the car - will he/she have a name? I never name my cars but I come from a family who always name them :o

    Before I can pass judgement - what colour is she :).

    Dark blue, with ivory leather hide and walnut trim........:D
  • Name? Very likely, but wait and see the character. My 'normal' cars i.e. currently a Hyundai don't. My special/toy cars do. My last ones where Landrovers, one called 'Verity' one called 'Rose'. Before that had lots all with names!

    That's a beautiful combination - I bet she (sorry it could be male I guess) smells lovely :T

  • She will do once I have given a thorough valet! Been used as a bit of a hack, so needs some deserved TLC.

    Forgot to add that started the MND book again and it has got more interesting as its gone on. I like books that re-iterate 'known truths' from a different angle and this one does. I am noting down the wisdom contained therein as next year I am going to write a very short guide to money sense for my son. Nothing special just things I have learned from painful experience and from reading books and learning from others. A short concise bullet pointed set of rules that should see him right and hopefully get to my stage of life free from debt, housing worries, work worries and with a pension to look forward to.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Congratulations on your new car purchase Southerndave :).
