    Ha,

    I have an extreamly cheap car, it was given to me by my ex wife Gratis, 3 years ago, only costs are fuel, road tax, MOT and odd bit of serving work done by yours truly.

    So apart from running costs it cost me nothing !!!

    Although I do admit a Citroen Picasso is a bit of a come down from the last car I owned, a classic 1989 Ford Fiesta XR2 Mk 2, in stratos silver.

    Yeah I can see that... although personally I'd have been happy to get rid of a Ford (also known as Fix Or Repair Daily) ;) Still... better than a FIAT (or a Fix It Again Tony) hehehe

    Mind you those french cars... pfffft ;)
