Lovely colour, I like citreon (very reliable) and the two extra seats will be so handy. But no key, no handbrake and 6 gears, it would be like learning to drive again!

You can sython the petrol out of the car (it is really easy to do.... something from my misspent youth!)



Sadly you'd have to purchase these items.... the fun of the duck is in the hunt! x



Good question well asked.

Morning
I recently had a hire car and that was an automatic with no 'proper hand break' it had a little switch which you pulled up for the handbreak and down to release . The engine also switched off when you stopped in traffic and came on when you lifted your foot off the break. The panic I felt doing a hill start for the first time....my oh said he saw the colour drain from my face. After the first week I loved driving an automatic with all these new things:)

Don't try this people. The salted caramel does get picked up in the APG but the T offer does not. I stupidly did not check the T site and because the Praline is not sold at T, according to APG, it shows the higher price for the options. Also stupidly believed My S that the parmesan wouldn't compare. I think I am losing my touch! Still got an APG, though only for £2.41. Was glad to test, though, Savvy Sal. It's not often I help out like this so glad to take my turn.

Mind you, if you want the options sachets, and if you pick ones which T sells , they are good fillers.

Oh you are very fortunate.

That's 35 earning years or 420 paydays, 35 Christmases and 35 birthdays till you retire.

Somewhere in there, I'd advise you get yourself in a pension plan if you haven't already done so.

You must be the youngest on here, same age as my DD. I've read your posts and often wondered where you get your energy from, and now I know. It's youth. Enjoy every minute and aim for the most fun you can have. :D

I'm now 62-not-out ! x
