Nice Evoque!!
Donna, what's the banger for? Scottish winters eh? :wtf:
Well since Steve now has the Boxster GTS and I have the MINI we don't really have a sensible car between us and Steve certainly won't be taking the GTS when the weather's iffy. When the outlaws come up we really need a 5 seater which we didn't have. Plus the Landy is great for the supermarket/cash n carry, tip/recycling and any other grotty kinda job like the garden centre etc.
If I only knew his intentions before I spent a grand on winter wheels/tyres for the MINI!
The Landy was a seriously good find. Picked it up at auction for £2K. MOTd until May and bodywork is pretty much immaculate for a 9yo motor bar a wee scrape on the back bumper.
Needed new front discs and pads and the rear diff needed attention as well as a wheel bearing. All relatively little jobs that Steve's managed to do himself. Similar Landys on Autotrader are looking about £4-5K, so we've done alright. With all the miles we'll put on it, we could sell it on in a couple of years and not lose anything.
Steve quite likes his wee Tonka toy......
