Where's Wooley 3 - The Motor!

OK, so not quite totally planned but thought about for a fair while beforehand, along comes Eddie - my new car!

I'd been driving the same car since I passed my test, about six years ago - a VW Polo that was twelve years or more old... Time for an upgrade at last, especially with the steady income afforded me by the new permanent Sisters position, so here he is!

Mini One 1.6. Black with racing stripes / check roof. Air Conditioning, Radio / CD, Onboard computer thingy that tells me how many miles I'm doing to the gallon, average speed, how many miles I can do with the petrol I've got, etc...

It's a fab little mover, easy to drive and makes me feel dead cool compared with my old motor (who has gone to a good home!) I did some research and opted for the Mini One rather than the Cooper as the running costs (Tax / Insurance, etc...) are far cheaper and you can get a higher spec One for the same money as a low spec Cooper... I'm more than happy with my choice!

Is this what happens when you've got too much time off work? Well, as I say, I had been thinking about a new car for some time and had drawn up a shortlist of possible motors - The Mini was always top of the list but costly, so I'd also considered Peugeot 206 / 207, Corsa (new design) Seat Ibiza, Beetle and a whole load of others but it always came back to the same longing... And so, Mini it is!

He's so lovley! Jxx
