Sorry to hear that Paul. I have had a few interesting car choices over the years but think i tested my wife last year the most. 5 cars, yes 5. But in of the fortunate position that in her opinion, if that's what my hobby is then so be it. I don't drink, smoke or go to football etc do its my only vice. As you know i now own a classic, at £23 a month insurance for being under 30 is great and helps, maybe ask to sell the micra and invest in a economical family car. Like a volvo s40 edrive or similar (my uncle just got one) £30 a year tax 1.6 diesel. In my opinion no car drives like an Impreza, no matter model, fact.
my wife will be coming to the fling, hopefully this works itself out. I DONT want to have yo buy your car off you
