My car New Run-about

baillieswells · 20th July 2007, 17:38

Today my wife picked up her new Civic SE 1.8 i-Shift in Royal Blue to replace her nine year old Nissan Almera. Just the job for doing the shopping, and with the seats folded, big enough to take the dog cages, so they can be driven to Wimpole Hall for their afternoon walk.I might be allowed to drive it. First time she has had an automatic.

She only ordered it last week, so delivery has been pretty quick. No frills or extras, who wants those on a run-about? She did insist on a spare tyre. Living in the country there are hazards which can easily gash a tyre. Foam not much use then. Would have preferred a full size wheel, but there you are.

I suppose I can now say I am a legitimate member of this forum.

Isn't that what you have just said?
