But it works and can get R2, so YOLO, or somethingFinished,as you can see, in LUCKY metallic green.No wheeltrims, if this is an issue I'll try and get some Vauxhall ones but may be drawn by the magic allure of mingeness to whoever sells nasty new ones cheap enough Value is probably subjective* and I'd like to think it's decent VFM because it's not the usual second hand 7 seater that's been attacked by several families with several snot losing, crayon handed little fuckers. Erm, £650 ono? Collect from Chester, though could meet somewhere I suppose if there's a deal to be had. I'd like cash really but would ponder a cheaper part ex or a swap maybe. What floats my boat? Obviously nothing VW or Audi, and probably no Fords from 1998 or so onwards. Maybe. Something a bit stupid or a bit automatic with leather and a V6 engine would be nice. Must have a decent MOT on it and CBA spending unless I have to. *Subjective to your own subjectivity.

Lord Sterling Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 That would fit in well in the Clowncil estate I live in at the moment, but it won't suit me sadly as much as I do like them, it doesn't have a V6/V8, isn't 20+ years old, doesn't have leather and is slightly out of my affordibility range. Good luck with sale. I'm surprised your selling it, it's such a useful tool. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffgeezer Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I must admit when we had our first sproglet, I was a little disappointed with how little boot space I had in the ZX after putting a pushchair in it. Naturally I went to carcraft and signed my life away on a mortgage repayment-esq loan agreement for some stinky, shabby Ford Galaxy with 2 knackered tyres and a mouldy nappy down the back of one of the seats. and bought a Xantia estate for £500. robinmasters and EssDeeWon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only really got Vauxhalls to be honest. I'm toying with the idea of getting rid of the SAAB, but ideally I'd want a 6 banger E46, or better still a CLK for that. Next on the hit list was going to be my Vectra CDTi, but I actually like that a lot and the economy and tow bar make it too useful to sell.

Split_Pin Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Pushchairs are fupping massive great wanky Behemoths of things. I thought my Astra Coupe boot was cavernous until trying to put my son's pram into it. If you want to be able to carry other, useful things with you once the pram is loaded in, like, say the driver, then you do need a surprisingly large car. stephen01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The £600 pram my parents bought on pay weekly from Very wouldn't fit in the Corsa, so we took it with us to look at cars and it slots in the back of a neriva a treat!

Station Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Have you seen some of these modern prams nowadays? I seem to remember those deckchair style prams were immensely easy to push because they were light and really manoeuvrable do to the balance of a wheels on the bottom, child in the centre, and handles on the top, and the wheels aren't about 10 inches wide. If I had a kid I'd be pushing it round in one of those things, and wouldn't care about someone with a 1,000 pound pram laughing at me.

Cavcraft Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Aye, but do you remember those BFO SilverCross ones?

Although admittedly the Mk1 Zaffy is supposed to be more reliable* than the Mk 2. MPV's are great if you have lots of people to move. Fr'instance I took most of the family to Blackpool last night to see Ken Dodd (now there is value for money, fuck I the bloke can go on, and on, and on and Arsiton) and the MPV was great for that, less good for parking though. However for most occasions where I dont have to take the whole fucking tribe and my mother and her mother then something like the Micra will suffice.
