Dean,
You really should try a diesel, you might even take it around the UK then, instead of just around the island.

Even more reason NOT to spend £100 on the Craptiva!!

Even more reason to get a nice economical TD XM!

:lol: na, dervs dont smell right. I have had dervs and they were nice but with the mileage i do i would loose money if anything, besides i do like a quiet idle.

You have to be kidding right? The derv xm's are a nice car no doubt about it but if i was having just the one car it would not be derv xm, i do maybe 50miles a week in my private car and a properly setup Activa is a wonderfull experience you have to drive to believe.
Im just a little sad i may have to sell it, the XM was the car i met my wife in, we took our first holiday together in it, we moved to our first flat togther in it, it could be a unicycle and i would still keep it........................mind you a unicycle would fit in the attic with room to spare, i wouldnt fancy trying to sleep knowing the xm was up there.

mind you with a little'un coming one is going to have to go anyway,
A big TCT or V6 manual estate then. Since you do little miles, a left hooker V6 estate from France would be Ok! Is there an elcheapo tourist rate for the ferry? :lol:

Here you go...
