      (Yeah, I know I don't like Fiats or their relations, but I do have something of a mixture of petrol and diesel in my veins, so I can't help it.....)

        :biggrin: Jeff is definitely well named with that plate!

        Is Jeff anything to do with a dream you had as a boy?



        EDIT - The man is a legend!

          Agreed...as is the ELO co-founder, Roy Wood.

            Absolutely!

            I wish you every health and happiness with Jeff - and have no doubt that it will be one of the most pampered examples on the planet.

            Exactly what he said to me :snorky: but he was hoping to get it to well over 200mph at some time.

            Or you could go for something on two wheels

                Or this
                P1230036.JPG

                Would this be considered a two wheeled vehicle or a four wheeled vehicle? I'd say it was two.
                P1230033.JPG

                Yet again, you could go for three wheels.

                  Well, after several test drives and various opinions from others (including some informed opinion on here :)), we made our decision and went for a Kia Venga.

                  It suits all our requirements. The Kia doesn't have all the gadgets, bells and whistles which come with other makes, but that doesn't bother me; it should be reliable and has a 7 year warranty, plus Mrs Trunky already has a Kia Picanto which she's been quite happy with.

                  Mrs Trunky did some impressive haggling with the salesman too, she's much better at it than me. By the time she'd finished with him the salesman must have lost a few pounds in weight going up and down the stairs to check with his manager after each move. Reminds me why I married her all those years ago.
                  :wub2:

                  Just been looking at insurance quotes - looks like Saga have come up trumps again. :old: :biggrin:

                    :nonofinger: should be reliable @Trunky!

                    WILL be reliable. It's a Kia, it has a 7 year warranty, and they actually care about their product and their customers!

                    I hope you and Mrs Trunky are nothing but delighted with your new family member.

                      Is that because she's good at running up and down stairs? :scratch:
