A Kuga Titanium if I remember right. Bloody hell that seems like ages ago since you ordered that......probably cos it was I suppose! You liking it? Will be ideal for the bad winter that usually follows a good summer.
With the mileage I get the car has been paid for almost 3 times over so far! My choice was based on it being cheap, I get 40mpg on a run and its only £280 a year insurance fully comp with business! After my experience with a new car (well 9mth old!) and losing 12k on it in depreciation plus £2k for a broken gearbox plus the monthly payments it cost me a fortune. The most I can lose on this is the value of the car so at £1380 is not much! How poop is that, this car cost me less than a new gearbox fitted to my diesel!!

money doesn't seem to go anywhere these days,your insurance is real cheap

my fiesta ST i had before the BMW cost near £500 to insure :w00t:

we just got a Miniature Schnauzer so the 2 year old BMW wasnt suitable and

had to go........yes i got the Kuga titanium X 4 wheel drive 163 with a few

extra bits added....:D......the weather was another factor as you know what

its like round our part of the woods,the BMW even got stuck last winter

with 1 inch of snow/slush on the co-op car park with the traction off:(

Rear wheel drive is pants in the slippery stuff! The bread knife wants a 4wd before winter sets in so we may have one in the next few weeks. Like you it will be a doggy carrier for our 2 bassets. No good getting snowed in or even worse snowed out as happen to us the other year!!
 
The part of the year I hate for that reason!!

St Helens is hardly out in the sticks, but I'm at the bottom, around the corner, at the end of a little cul-de-sac.
I had to dig out 50m of road last year and keep it salted just to get to the bottom of the hill ..... in a diesel Civic with wide low profile tyres ..... fun it wasn't!!

Not looking forward to it ... again.
4WD in Winter - nice option. Winter tyre set?

Range Rover Al so probably wont need winter tyres!
 
nice choice Andy i went into Bury looking at the new sport but could not justify

the extra 30K ;) over the kuga

K....

It wont be a new 1 Keith! Probably 05 or 06 plate where someone else has taken the hit on depreciation.
 
Keith's more worried about the mounting shelf - RR's are quite big!!

Al.

We going for the Daddy rather than the sport. The sport is only the same size inside if not smaller than our zafira and with 3 growing lads, 2 bassetts and 3 FG's we need plenty of room!!
