andyberg Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Morning. No early start collecting going on here! Off to get my wife's new car. It will involve 2 border crossings though 😂😂. No brekkie yet as hoping for some fast food from a quality* burger establishment.

andyberg Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Missed my scheduled train because of commuters getting on the bus at every stop! How very rude. So time to get brekkie, no burger place in sight so I went to the ' pasty shop' where I bought the ultimate breakfast roll ( their words) ok then whatever....

andyberg Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Home. First impressions? Not a bad little car, auto box is good, can do motorways fine. Comfy. Bonus points for discovering it has a/c, minus points coz it needs a regas M9 🙄 nice mpg's on the way back too. So far 9/10. Last service in book was 2013 at 56,000 miles! It's done 2000 miles in 9 years! Had to go to post office to change tax class from disabled to petrol car, buggers wanted at least 6 months tax up front 😡 Shite Ron, Grumblespeed, Six-cylinder and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston Martin Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Why does it have a base model rear bumper? Because of the towbar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking perhaps the original bumper 'touched' something hence the black bumper and towbar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
