Yes but what colour was it?

Good question - demo car was white but if I order it will be red.ianblyth wrote:Yes but what colour was it?
I'm a bit predictable - almost all my cars have been red.
I've had white. Meh.
Hate silver!
Black is OK but shows the dirt and is inevitably more expensive.
Had dark blue. OK
I'm not ready for pale blue for at least another 15 years! When my motoring is reduced to the Health Centre - Garden Centre - Waitrose triangle I might consider it...not!
Other colours...not really considered.
No, I am a Redcar man!

As in...
Oh hi guys. Yah, left the Ferrari at home today - brought the shopping trolley instead.
Guess what...I think not!
Anyway, off to do a couple of TDs.
Toodle-pip!

Re: Small car recommendations?
sounds good - speed limiter makes a lot of sense, I am surprised more cars don't provide it... but equally it could be frustrating at times if you forget to cancel it...

Re: Small car recommendations?
You may want to check on that Steve...probably not a concern...at least w/ the Jaguars, the speed limiter is automatically overridden with full throttle.

Re: Small car recommendations?
Saw a new Aygo on display in the Trafford centre this morning... Very nice...
This particular car had "GO FUN YOURSELF" plastered along the side of it.... definitely caused a double-take.

Re: Small car recommendations?
Yes, I drove around for 3 hours in one with that decal on yesterday. The model is also called an X-play, which I told the salesman sounded like something from the adult end of the pharmaceuticals counter.
Never thought of that, he said.
Fiat Panda and Seat Mii tested - nowt special. The Aygo is still in the lead. If I'm still happy on Monday I shall go for it.

Glad that the test drives are going well and that you have a likely candidate.
It is amazing how little you have to compromise in comfort, equipment and performance when you get a small car nowadays, compared to just a few years ago.
