Well after much discussion in the Auto Forum and research on the net and kissing the bank managers botty tomorrow I'll be heading to Budapest for the last time in my much loved and trusty old Ford Escort Cry Cry Cry
But I'll be comin' home in a shiny new Renault Megane 1.9 dCi estate with a seriously good CD player (gotta dig out some tunes for the journey) Cool Cool Cool and lots of nice extras (does anyone want to give me an in car DVD system to keep Mini-Mod busy?)
So lo here are a couple of snaps of the new Ozmobile...
...
...
And before anyone asks why I've got a diesel there are two reasons, firstly you get better mileage for your juice and secondly diesel is about 10-15% cheaper here than petrol Wink
So beware old ladies, cats and pigeons who are on the road Smiley

Nice one.
I've never been a fan of the Renault's, but I did like the Megane when I did the test drive last year.

Just be careful not to prang it on the way home with your tunes pumped up high  Wink

I screwed that one up just once in my trusty Mazda when I clipped a tree trunk on the side of the road which ripped off my left front wheel and caused the car to flip at 50MPH Embarrassed Embarrassed Embarrassed

Nice one Mark, Renault diesel engines are excellent for reliability and economy.  
Just don't expect to beat many cars away from the lights...  Wink   Tongue

Yup, the sparks were impressive and the bits of red hot tarmac that came through the screen totalled my favourite denim shirt Cry Cry Cry

Been there, done that.

It's really scary when you realise that you've listened to both of the story tracks on 'Make way for Noddy' 3 times over, and the CD has just kicked back again to start playing the first track again. The you realise that for the last 35 minutes you've been the only person in the car......now that's messed up  Shocked Embarrassed  Grin

Actually Mini-Mods only weird "kiddie" tendancies are for "Everybody Wants To Be A Cat" from the Aristocats and songs from Jungle Book. Otherwise she isn't fussed. However she has picked up some stuff from Bob and frankly that is better than the fat ones whose name begins with T and whom I can't mention without looking like I've eaten a packet of Alka-Seltzer or worse the purple singing dinosaur from the US whom I wish to wipe out using soooooooooo much lead you could use the "B"-word as a pencil Grin
